Last week, Brett Kavanaugh became the new poster boy for white privilege. He raged and cried his way through the Senate hearings and will most likely be confirmed in a week. In America, there's always one axiom that will always ring true: the aristocracy always wins. It's a disgusting display that reminds us that the playing field of justice in America isn't level.

While, it's expected to see Republicans fawning over Kavanaugh and turning a blind eye to the accusations, it's a different story watching the response from conservative Christians. It just makes me sick.

How can a faith grounded in love consistently ignore justice?

How can it continue to ignore the cries from victims of abuse? How can it protect its own interests while ignoring the ways and teaching of Jesus? It's just business as usual for American Christianity.

Don't believe me? It was recently found that 48% of white evangelicals say that Kavanaugh should be confirmed to the Supreme Court even if the allegations of sexual assault against him are true. That's 48% support if it's TRUE!Conservatives want power and don't care how they get it. This sounds more Machiavellian and a little less like Jesus. Sorry, let me rephrase that. It looks nothing like Jesus.

Join us as we examine the Christian response to Brett Kavanaugh and how it mirrors similar situations inside the church where white men of power are accused of sexual assault and/or predatory behavior. We see the same denials and the same deflections. The men continue on in positions of power while the women and children suffer as accusations are swept under the rug. It's happened before and history will repeat itself again if the church fails to change. It must change for the victims, past and future. It must change for our sons and daughters who are watching us and how we respond. It must change for the sake of Jesus and the ways of love and grace.

But that might not matter anymore Christians. Time will tell.

Come along for the ride as we skewer through life, culture, and spirituality in the face of a changing world.
