A prayer for our Haitian, and other immigrant, family members
God who makes and loves every person,
we pray for our Haitian family members,
particularly those who live in and around Springfield, Ohio.
We thank you for their presence with us.
We are grateful for the gifts they bring.
Protect your Haitian children and all children
from falsehoods motivated by fear and anger
and perpetrated for political gain.
Protect your children and our communities
from the acts of hate such lies may spawn.
Touch our hearts that we might
tell the truth,
challenge lies,
disrupt stereotypes,
overcome fear,
practice welcome,
and embrace all in love.
We pray in Jesus’ name.
Amen.

False Prophets
False Prophets don’t speak for me! For decades, the religious right has aligned itself with the Republican Party’s powers-that-be in an attempt to monopolize public conversations about faith and define what it means to be a “values voter.” But Faithful America members have been standing up to those who are hijacking Jesus’ name and trying to baptize their oppressive and harmful policies. Learn more about the 2024 False Prophets inductees as well as those already in Faithful America’s False Prophets Hall of Fame. #FalseProphetsDontSpeakforMe
Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. – Matthew 7:15

A prayer to do one thing
Inspire us, God,
to do one thing.
One thing for justice.
One thing for peace.
One thing for love.
Inspire us, God
by doing one thing
to do more.
More for justice.
More for peace.
More for love.
This day.
Every day.
Through Jesus, we pray.
Amen.

Happy Labor Day
Happy Labor Day! As a Christian. I along with many members of Faithful America, support living wages, labor rights, and safe working environments for all God’s children — yet these fundamental freedoms, along with our democracy itself, are at stake in this upcoming election. Project 2025, the MAGA movement’s Christian-nationalist agenda for another Trump term, is not only a major threat to justice for all but also to our basic freedoms. Trump can try to distance himself from the plan after public backlash, but we know his plans for a second term are nothing short of an authoritarian power grab. Learn more about the dangers of Project 2025.
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! – Isaiah 5:20
