Christianity didn’t just lose its way —it was hi-jacked by people who use faith to spread fear, gain power, and win political power. And much of what they preach looks nothing like the Jesus we love.
A lot of us are angry. Angry at the horrific things faith has been used to justify. Angry that the loudest believers often seem least interested in love, humility, truth, or standing with the least of these.
Woke Like Jesus is a place to return to the Jesus who lifted the broken and confronted the powerful —the Jesus who loved people society threw away.
I’ve heard it three times this week from people who voted for Trump:
“They’re all horrible. They’re all corrupt.”
That’s progress.
But it’s not accountability.
Blaming “the system” protects our pride.
Admitting we were fooled protects our future.
If we don’t learn the lesson, we repeat it.
Thoughts?
Faith isn’t meant to sit quietly in your heart. It’s meant to move. The Social Gospel Network connects believers who feel called to act — to care for the vulnerable, challenge broken systems, and bring a little more heaven to earth.
