Over half the men on Tennessee’s death row have made one simple request to Gov. Lee: “Please come pray with us.” Today we will walk from death row to the Governor’s office carrying their letter and signatures. We call it the March for Mercy. Pray with us as we ask him to pray with them.
Don’t miss @RedLetterXians morning prayer tomorrow at 9amET. We’ll be celebrating the launch of the NPA - the National Peacemaker Association. It’s going to be epic. Here’s the link: redletterchristians.org/event/august...
We’ve been busy! We just restocked the online store and we have tons of cool stuff in our shop — all made from chopped up guns. Check it out!!! When you buy something, it supports our work to end gun violence and build a better world! Here’s the link: www.RAWtoolsPhilly.org
Love it. “Do more of what makes you forget your phone.” -Jim Carrey
Don’t miss book club tomorrow night. With my favorite 94-year-old author. And just a great human being - Terry Webb! redletterchristians.org/event/rlc-ju...
Our urban gardens are magical. Year after year, we just keep adding new stuff. This year we’re growing popcorn! And we have honeybees! One of our neighbors said, “We are bringing the Garden of Eden to North Philadelphia.” 🔥🔥🔥 This is what you make possible when you support us:www.TheSimpleWay.org
Check it out! Katie and Eli have been working hard at The Simple Way today. Here’s a little tour of our library and community space. Our goal is for everyone to feel loved and know that they belong. 🔥🔥🔥

White supremacists marching on Washington DC today. No one can be silent right now. This moment demands moral courage. Hate will not win.
Christian Nationalism is an oxymoron… and a heresy. It centers America, rather than Jesus, as God’s divine messianic force in the world. It’s a form of idolatry. It’s a threat to democracy & a threat to authentic Christian faith. Rebuke it, in the name of Jesus. [image by Shibboleth Magazine]
Jesus for President has now sold more than 100,000 copies. We wrote it back in 2008, long before Trump... but it speaks to this moment with moral clarity. Jesus is Lord. Caesar is not. No King but Jesus. (Order from our online store and funds support our work: www.RedLetterChristians.org)
Don’t miss book club tomorrow night with the phenomenal @JoashPThomas. LIVE on all @RedLetterXians platforms - 7pmET!!!
On June 28, 1982 the lovely Katie Jo Brotherton came into the world... and I am so glad. I love this woman. I am so glad she was born 44 years ago. Thank you Mimi and Butch for bringing this gift into the world. H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y K A T I E J O ! ! !
HELLO WASHINGTON!!! I’m thrilled and honored to be speaking at the Whitworth Ministry Summit this week. Come join us!! www.whitworth.edu/cms/administ...
Happy #Juneteenth! In 1865, enslaved families in Texas were the last to learn of their emancipation following the defeat of the Confederate States of America. In African-American communities throughout the US, this good news of liberation to the captives is still celebrated as Juneteenth.
11 years ago today. 9 precious lives taken. May we honor their lives be taking action to end gun violence and racism and all forms of hatred.
Racism and bigotry are wicked. But there is something even more sick and twisted — even diabolical — about using Christianity to justify racism and camouflage bigotry. God will not be mocked. Trump evangelicalism is a cult and a heresy. Rebuke it, in the name of Jesus.
Proud to stand with all the freedom fighters outside Delaney Hall tonight. We prayed. We sang. We read the names of those killed by ICE. They brought guns, rubber bullets, and teargas. We brought faith, hope, and love. And we’ll keep doing it until this place is shut down.
Yoooooooo. It’s been one year since we opened our new library and community chill space at The Simple Way. Join us next Tuesday, June 16 from 1-3pm as we celebrate with an epic block party on Potter Street. And bring some good books to donate if you want to!
Today at 5pmET. We’ll be streaming LIVE on Red Letter Christians platforms.

Celebrating my mom today on her 80th birthday. I couldn’t be more grateful for this woman. She is a gift to me and to the world.
Morning prayer - tomorrow at 9amET - on all @RedLetterXians platforms!
All eyes on Delaney Hall. NJ clergy sharing how we can support families of those detained and work to shut down the illegal detention center. Let’s do all we can to support them.
Praying for all our friends tonight protesting outside the Delaney Hall detention center. Follow my pal Rev. Erich Kussman - on the ground there with dozens of clergy. Here are some images and a message he just sent.
