Replace harmful theology with liberation

A portion of American Christianity is:  Capitalism  Nationalism  White supremacy  Worshiping wealth (prosperity doctrine)  Imperialism/colonialism This is why many evangelicals for Trump view Trump as a savior or “blessed by God.” They don’t actually worship Jesus, and instead worship the above five as “god,” so Trump who embodies all five, is seen as “blessed” and… Continue reading Replace harmful theology with liberation

However, this long-fought victory was shortlived. Around Thursday or Friday of last week, Trans Iowans discovered that the Costello Amendment was added to the HF 766 Budget bill at the… Continue reading Fight for Transgender Healthcare in Iowa
