  • Thank you!

    I appreciate your thoughtfulness and devotion to connecting God’s Word to current events. I have felt a bit homeless over the past 5 years, as someone who loves Jesus but does not align with the perspectives of so many in the US who claim Christian faith. Also, born in MN but raised in Europe. Appreciate the MN here.

  • Thanks for speaking out!

    My faith has been extremely damaged by right wing political evangelicals and their so called “Christian”followers. It helps to know there are evangelicals like Pat that actually follow Christ and his teachings and recognize Trump is destroying our country!

  • A gracious call

    A clarion call to a portion of the church in America who have been seduced by the desire for political power and thereby wandered from the ways of Jesus.
