Is your Jesus making your sons more radical—or more compassionate? In this scorching conversation, Frank Schaeffer sits down with Rev. Angela Denker to unpack her explosive new book Disciples of White Jesus: The Radicalization of American Boyhood. From Lutheran pulpits to CNN, Denker has tracked how faith, fear, and masculinity are being fused in dangerous ways. This episode exposes how American Christianity is grooming boys for culture war—and what real spiritual courage looks like instead._____LINKShttps://angeladenker.substack.comhttps://www.instagram.com/denkerangela/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmKIdMPvTt9uf3tlGBLFnxQhttps://www.lovechildrenplanet.com/events/it-has-to-be-read-red-state-christians-by-rev-angela-denker_____I have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.Please subscribe to this Podcast, In Conversation… with Frank Schaeffer, on your favorite platform, and to my Substack, It Has to Be Said.

Year C – Fourth Sunday in Easter – May 18, 2025 Pastor Megan Floyd                 John 13:31-35; Acts 11:1-18   Grace and peace to you in the name of our risen savior, Jesus Christ, who commands us to love more widely than we can imagine. Amen. *** What an incredible day of celebration! So beautiful and fun! And yet… some of us are still reeling from that storm that crossed our state on Thursday night and into Friday. There's been damage here in our community, but also extensively across the state. Recovery and repair efforts are underway… and in Christ's love, we hold those most affected in the embrace and prayers of our community… helping where we can through our prayers… and our actions. We do this… because it's who we are as disciples of Jesus… we love our neighbors as Christ loves us… and sometimes that love looks like cutting up fallen trees and cleaning up broken glass. Life is better for everyone when we let our love for others guide us… And that, too, is worth celebrating. So, this is, indeed, a Celebration Sunday! And the Holy Spirit has gifted us with some beautiful scripture to accompany our celebration. We hear in our Gospel today, our Lord Jesus, commanding us to love each other as Christ loves us. If you were here on Maundy Thursday, you would have heard this text then as well. It's very important, and so we hear it again. Jesus said to us… Love one another as I have loved you. Let your love for others be a defining characteristic of who you are… be known for it… and let your radically abundant love identify you as one of my disciples. And know that the love you have does not originate with you… it comes from Christ and flows through you… This is how we love. *** And from Acts, we have an important vision… Peter is deep in prayer while he's waiting for lunch… he's hungry… And he sees a large sheet being lowered in front of him, and on it, he sees all manner of animals that, as a Jewish man, he would have been prohibited from eating because it would have rendered him unclean. Along with the vision comes a voice from God telling him to kill and eat… Peter would have been horrified… maybe even repulsed… because he had been taught all his life that these animals were not for eating… they were common… profane. But the voice insisted… and said that what God has made clean, he must not call profane. God is doing a new thing here. And then, the Holy Spirit tells him to go to the home of a Roman centurion – a commander in the Roman army who was also a follower of Jesus – but… this man was a Gentile. The Jewish people kept themselves apart and would have avoided mixing with the Gentiles…   And even those who followed Jesus… well, they thought they had something of a special club, exclusive to those who also follow Jewish law. …they certainly would not have accepted an invitation to a meal in the home of a Roman for many reasons, but foremost, there would have been no way to confirm that it was in accordance with their dietary rules. So… trusting in the Holy Spirit… Peter goes to Cornelius' home, where he learns that he, too, was visited by God and told to invite Peter to come to his home… to hear what Peter could teach him. Peter begins to speak… to share the good news… and he witnesses the Holy Spirit fall upon this Gentile and his household And in that moment, Peter understood that God shows no partiality, and that the gift of this life with Christ… the saving love and grace that is Christ's alone to give… is meant for all people. It certainly seems… that God is doing a new thing. But our passage is actually from Peter's retelling of these incredible events… he is recounting the story for the others because they are upset with him for going. They are criticizing him for going to Cornelius' home and eating with him… he is being called forward to explain why he would do such an unlawful thing. And we can hardly blame them… their rules and way of life, given to them by God, have governed their lives for thousands of years. They are known to others by these rules. And yet… it was clear that God is doing a new thing. God is not saying that the former rules were bad, or wrong… Only that it is time for something new… It's time to eliminate the exclusivity of their religious club and accept people whom they would not have previously accepted. It's time to break down the barriers and welcome all… to allow all their different cultures and backgrounds to become part of the beautiful tapestry of life that belongs to Jesus Christ… To celebrate… that there is no one beyond God's love, and therefore no one should be excluded from our love. *** Do we think this was easy for them to do? Absolutely not!! These folks were human… and they were pretty set in their ways… and just like us today, they had prejudices and aversions… There's a reason we are still talking about Jesus's command to love others as Christ loves them… We still struggle… we still put up barriers around ourselves to keep out those who are different… those who will disrupt our ways. We push back against God's call to open our hearts, our minds, and our communities to those who are different… different habits, different foods, different ages… different ways of worship… anything… Difference is disruptive, and we like things to be the same… set… calm. But God is always making things new… all around us, God is always renewing us … always calling upon us to love more… and to welcome those who are not already in the room… to not just widen our boundaries around who we love but to eliminate the boundaries altogether. …because we are called to love as Christ loves us, and we will never meet another person whom God does not love. We come together as a community of faith, because we seek to know Jesus… to follow Jesus and to conform ourselves to the ways of Jesus… And so we must love like Jesus. We must love others and welcome others in such a radical way that we become known for our love… Love in such a way that we can overcome the discomfort of difference… Love in such an open way that we leave room in our hearts to be surprised by the gift that the Holy Spirit has for us in our newfound relationships. Loving this way will change you… it will renew you… every day *** Peter did not insist that Cornelius and his household convert to Judaism before agreeing to meet with him… before agreeing to include them in the Way of Christ. No… Peter saw that God was including Cornelius and his household exactly as they were… and so very wisely, Peter observed… who am I, that I could hinder God? Who are we… that we could hinder God? When we exclude other people because they aren't like us… we cause harm… We hurt those we have excluded… but we also harm our own hearts by rejecting the gift of relationship that is offered through Christ's command to be loving and inclusive. And so, we love in such a way that leaves room for others to become the fullest, most beautiful version of themselves… And in so doing, we are also made new… drawn closer to the heart of Christ… closer to the love that Christ has for all the world. And we give our thanks and praise… for in our becoming new… in our blooming… our God is glorified. This is truly something we can celebrate today! *** In a short while, Abby, Isaak, Kara, and Maddie will publicly affirm their baptismal promises. They are proclaiming that they choose to continue in their journey with Christ… the journey that began with their baptism. But… then what… what does that really mean? Well, it means… that you will be known for your love… for the way you include those who are excluded… …for the way you lift others up so they can see themselves, and love themselves, as Christ sees and loves them… It means that you will let the love of Christ shine through you… that you'll be Christ's light in the darkness, and no darkness will overcome it. It means that by this love, you and all around you will know that you belong to Jesus, and that every day, Jesus is doing a new thing… through you. Do I think this will always be easy? Nope… it won't… But that's why we come back together again and again, to receive Christ's forgiveness and grace, and be renewed by Christ's love through all these folks around you. …We come together to remember how much we are loved… to see ourselves as God sees us, and allow God's vision to work in us… so we, too, can become the fullest, most beautiful version of ourselves. Because the truth is… God is always doing a new thing… making all things new, including you. That's definitely something to celebrate today! Amen.

In our Focus Text for this week, Paul asks about a “Crown of Boasting” when writing to the Thessalonians. Some people have a fascination with crowns, tiaras, and other symbols of royalty or achievement. But, why would you want to be crowned for your boasting?! Aren't we supposed to be humble? Paul is writing not about boasting of his achievements, but boasting about the faithfulness of the Thessalonians. This kind of boasting is also modeled by Jesus, when he lifts up what the disciples will accomplish instead of himself. We can bear the Crown of Boasting when we celebrate the team efforts that make a difference in the lives of our neighbors.

The most famous shepherd in Chicago, or the States or the world is LEO. However even Leaders like Presidents are shepherds. At any rate, in the spirit of antiquity and in the spirit of the Bible, they can be described as a shepherd. Because in ancient times, leaders of states were compared to shepherds, people in higher positions who had to lead others...

What happens when we overpromise? We will most likely be unable to deliver on that promise. So what about the promises of our faith story? Does it seem like those promises to flourish are overpromised and underdelivered? Pastor Chad thinks we are misunderstanding what it means to flourish and what God has promised. When we walk with each other in community, lifting each other up, comforting one another, we can flourish together as God promised!

Wicker Park Lutheran Church Rev. Jason S. Glombicki May 4, 2025 Change is at the center of today's gospel reading, and … change is challenging. Change is hard because it almost always involves loss, uncertainty, and disruption – even when it's for the better. But not all change is the same. In fact, scholars note that there are two different types of change – technical change and adaptive change. Technical changes are easy solutions that often have apparent solutions. While […] The post Third Sunday of Easter appeared first on Wicker Park Lutheran Church.

Year C – Third Sunday in Easter – May 4, 2025 Pastor Megan Floyd                 John 21:1-19; Acts 9:1-20 Grace and peace to you in the name of our risen savior, Jesus Christ, who knows we are not perfect, and yet still calls us daily to follow. Amen. *** I love a good redemption story. A classic tale of an evil villain… or even… a more relatable character who has unfortunately made terrible choices… They recognize the error of their ways, and their life is transformed. My top guy is probably Ebenezer Scrooge… and yes, I'm talking about A Christmas Carol …during the Easter season… A few years ago, a movie called Spirited came out… a story with Ebenezer Scrooge working away in the afterlife to bring such a transformation to others who have gone astray. He was paying it forward, if you will Delightfully funny movie… and it raised a good question… when someone has seen the error of their ways, and changed their behavior… do they change permanently? … does that transformed life… stick around? Everything is set right… the book ends or the credits roll… but would Ebenezer still have his generous Christmas spirit when Easter came around? …what happens six months later when life throws some challenges… what happens when that moment of realization and commitment to change is a faded memory… and we fall back into old habits? These stories of redemption tend to hook our imagination… because they are so relatable… so human. All of us have made mistakes… every single one of us has done things we later wish we had done differently… …the things we could have said in a kinder way… the times we wish we had stopped to help instead of tucking our head and walking by. We need to believe that there is hope for us… if Ebenezer can turn his life around… so can we. If Jesus still calls Peter to follow him… still calls Peter into discipleship after how badly he messed up… then perhaps Jesus is still calling us. Peter followed Jesus for three years… he pledged his life to Jesus… He tried to give his life defending Jesus in the garden when he drew his sword and cut off the ear of the high priest's slave. And yet… only a short while later… around that charcoal fire outside the courtyard of the high priest… when it seemed they had lost… Peter denied ever having known Jesus… Three times he said… I do not know the man. And then the cock crowed… and Peter realized what just happened… and that Jesus knew he would fail him… I can only imagine how deeply that must have gutted Peter. And I bet seeing Jesus appear to them in the locked room only made it worse… it would have only highlighted Peter's lack of faith… He was wrong… they had not lost… and so his shame at his three-fold denial… would have been bone-deep. Can anyone really blame him for going fishing? But then… just as Jesus found him three years ago… Jesus finds him again. Seated at a charcoal fire… Jesus is there, cooking them breakfast. This scene… I love it. This is the Jesus I know… not a distant, unattached God in the sky watching over us… but… my Lord and my God, meeting me in the ordinary days of my life. Jesus… meeting me in the moments when I feel like the world has turned upside down. Jesus… saying to me… come and sit… let's share a meal. Things have gone a bit sideways for you… I know… but come… and let me remind you of my love. And how do they know that it's Jesus? …because of the abundance! …the great haul of fish… the grace upon grace. Around that charcoal fire on the beach, Jesus offers Peter another chance… Peter, do you love me… Yes, Lord… Then feed my lambs. Peter, do you love me… Yes, Lord… Then tend my sheep. Peter, do you love me… Yes, Lord, I love you… you know everything, and you know that I love you… Then feed my sheep… and follow me. The crucified and risen Jesus Christ tells Peter… and tells us… I've already taken into account your shortcomings… and still, I am calling you… come, and follow me. Jesus came so that we might have life, and have it abundantly… so don't think for a minute that Jesus can't work with what you've got. Just consider what Jesus has already done… In the great reversal of death's power, Jesus has transformed the dreadful cross and tomb into a sign of forgiveness and love… a sign of redemption… Jesus transforms Peter, a three-fold deserter… into a shepherd of Christ's people. And shortly after, Jesus transforms Saul, a murderous persecutor… into a champion for the Way of Christ. Jesus knows our failings… and still loves us… forgives us… and calls us to follow… to put that love into action, and to feed and tend his sheep… the people of the world whom God so loves. Jesus calls us into a transformed and joyous life… life with our Lord and our God by our side And yet… even after encountering Jesus in our lives… we sometimes drift away… we might pull away from Jesus and drift back into our old ways. …or perhaps… we may even admit that we are a little afraid of what the power of a new life with the risen Christ might mean… and so we deny we ever knew him. It's that question that the movie Spirited asked… what happens down the road… is the transformation lasting and permanent? Is Ebenezer still as generous at Easter as he was on Christmas Day? If it were only up to us and our own willpower, then I'd say no… we cannot secure our own redemption… the kind that leads to true transformation. But fortunately… our redemption is not from within us… it comes from the crucified and risen Jesus. Jesus, who knows our faults and our failings, and calls us anyway to follow him daily… Jesus calls us to receive grace upon grace…. and allow the redemptive power of a living Christ transform our lives with love… to transform us anew, each and every day. Our redemption is permanent… a once-and-done experience… we are forgiven and redeemed by the grace of the risen Jesus Christ… But our life with Jesus… our encounters with Christ… that is not one-and-done. Our experience of meeting Jesus in our ordinary… our good days and our bad… of sharing a meal… that is an ongoing experience. An ongoing relationship, rooted in love and grace… a relationship that deepens and matures over time… It's a relationship that calls to you every single day, even after we may have drifted away… even after we have made mistakes. So come and have some breakfast with Jesus… and receive Christ's transformational love for you… It is… the best redemption story there is. Amen.

The Texas Legislature is now entering the final third when bills make it to the floor for a vote or begin to die. Last week, Bee Moorhead joined the program to talk about the House passing the Voucher bill, and it seemed like immediately after, we began to see a TON of bad bills start to move... and a few good ones.    One of the issue areas that was particularly in focus this week has been the return of anti-trans legislation, so we are going to welcome to the program for the first time, Texas Impact's Policy Consultant, Rev. Keats Miles Wallace, an ELCA pastor and staff member for Texas Impact's LGBT Rights Issue Champion team to talk to us about both the policy issues in that space, but also about the importance of people of faith engaging on these bills.    Join an Issue Team on the Legislative Action Center page on our website.

How do WE show your love to Jesus? How do YOU thank him for redeeming you? If everyone were to answer one after the other, there would certainly be a colorful bouquet of ways in which you can show your love for Jesus: by singing hymns, through charity, through monetary donations, prayers, worshipping. And if we study and research the Gospels for further possibilities, this bouquet would become even larger and more colorful...
