The Forge by JS Park
I'm not sure what's worse.
The type of Wokester who smugly uses Christianity - which they don't even understand or believe in - to score points off stereotypical Conservatives...
...or the folks who call themselves Christian, but twist Christianity to fit their Woke ways.
I mean, J here isn't as bad as the black lady who proudly prayed for the strength to hate white people, but he's pretty close. Especially since he claims to be a hospital chaplain.
Amazing how someone can deal with dying patients, but has to block someone for polite disagreement on Tumblr.
PS: I happened to find his Twitter. He thinks there was a practical "deescalation option" in the Makhia Bryant situation, which he "knows" because he "used to run a dojo for a while".

I'd love to know what sort of technique could've stopped an arm mid-stab, from 15 feet away.
Enlighten us, sensei.
(I believe that’s the title for a dojo head, right? Even though he’s Korean?)
Just started reading this new release by @jspark3000 Only 20 pages in, and I can't wait to read the rest and learn from the wisdom in here.
[A] safe person, whether your spouse, a church elder, a childhood buddy, or a mentor, will hardly flinch at your worst. You'll know you're around a safe person because as they speak and listen, you'll feel the burden lift off your shoulders. You'll sigh in relief that you're not alone. Their honesty isn't just to sound tough, and it has enough light to point out your blind spots without making you blind. They can turn your tunnel vision into panorama.
The Voices We Carry, by J.S. Park
So I’ve learned over time: I wasn’t really out of love with God. I’m just a fragile human being who changes as much as the weather. I was setting a ridiculous standard for myself that can’t be defined by self-pressuring parameters. I was tricked by the enemy into judging my flesh. How I feel is important, but it’s not the whole basis of my faith. It’s wholly, solely, defiantly by His grace—and in that, I think I can finally relax.

Excerpt from jspark3000.tumblr
God meets you where you are. The institutional church culture forces what you "should" do - should be reading more of the Bible, should be evangelizing, should be nice, should sing louder, should should should.
I demanded God to explain Himself, to explain our suffering, so He went one further and entered our pain – and in a tomb, He initiated healing, the reversal of all that had ever gone wrong. I demanded a diagram, but He gave us a song.
