After each reading, you’ll find a prayer and reflection questions to help you apply the message and gain success in each area of your life.

Christians in the United States and around the world have seen their faith in Jesus Christ distorted and leveraged in defense of authoritarian leaders who seek to erode freedoms essential to a thriving democracy. Some Christians enthusiastically praise dictatorial leaders and regimes.
This fall, Georgetown University’s Center on Faith and Justice hosted a summit of interfaith leaders with the intention of countering these disturbing trends. The Summit took place on September 19-20 at the new McCourt School of Public Policy building on Georgetown’s Capitol Campus.
The summit included the unveiling of a new statement presenting a theologically centered Christian defense of Democracy, sessions on the themes of religion and democracy and devoted to strategizing about how to maintain the integrity of our faith traditions and our tradition of democratic governance.
We met in a moment of crisis. Yet we did so as people of God animated by faith, hope, and love. It is in this spirit that we reaffirm Christian support for democracy and invite all Christians and people of moral conscience to do the same.

American Fiction is a 2023 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Cord Jefferson in his feature directorial debut. Based on the 2001 novel Erasure by Percival Everett, it follows a frustrated novelist-professor who writes an outlandish satire of stereotypical "Black" books, only for it to be mistaken for serious literature and published to high sales and critical praise. The film stars Jeffrey Wright, Tracee Ellis Ross, Issa Rae, Sterling K. Brown, John Ortiz, Erika Alexander, Leslie Uggams, Adam Brody and Keith David.

On Wednesday, August 14, Jemar joined several of our friends and colleagues to speak on the Evangelicals for Harris Zoom call. From the moment the organization announced the event, all the speakers became the victims of online attacks. What does it mean to run from cliches and to truly embrace a 'thick' political theology versus the ingrained 'thin' political theology of evangelical's past?
