Essential Essays

Unfit Christian has never been only a blog, a brand, or a collection of reactions to the world. It is an archive of Black religious thought, cultural witness, public theology, spiritual critique, and interior life.

These essays offer a doorway into the core questions that have shaped this work for more than a decade:

What does faith become when disentangled from supremacy?
What does Blackness reveal about God, power, embodiment, and survival?
What harms have been sanctified in the name of holiness?
What does liberation require of our theology, our politics, our bodies, and our memory?

This is not an exhaustive archive. It is a guided beginning.
