Gen Z’s quarter-zip era is more than “midtown uniform” cosplay. It’s a quiet way of saying, “I want to look like I’m going somewhere.” I wrote about why I’m cheering this on—and why I hope some of these guys add a sport coat or suit next. goodwillhinton.com/p/from-quarter…

We’ll fight like crazy for Ten Commandments posters and “prayer in schools.” But ask us about the Beatitudes—the poor in spirit, the meek, the peacemakers—and it gets quiet. New essay on symbols, power, and what Jesus actually blesses. goodwillhinton.com/p/when-we-choo… #Christianity

There’s a difference between voting and vouching. Evangelicals didn’t just “hold their nose.” Many learned to defend what they once condemned. goodwillhinton.com/p/voting-vs-vo… #Christianity #Trump #Reiner #Evangelicals

Fit beats brand. Power shrinks the gospel. Childcare is infrastructure. Three quick takes, zero dunking—built for dialogue. Read + tell me where I’m wrong. goodwillhinton.com/p/hotish-takes…

If our faith feels threatened by Starbucks cups and a cashier saying “Happy Holidays,” the problem isn’t the barista. goodwillhinton.com/p/merry-christ… #Christmas #Christianity #ChristianNationalism

I’ve drifted from a lot of evangelical culture over the years—but I haven’t drifted from Jesus. If anything, I’m more attached to him and more loving toward people who don’t share my faith. New piece on why that might be spiritual growth, not rebellion. goodwillhinton.com/p/drifting-fro…

Year-end note: Less outrage. More life. Silver linings aren’t accidents—they’re often chosen. Writing, building SPO 33, investing in community, & learning (w/out surrendering skepticism) all pushed me there. What’s the truest thing you learned this year? goodwillhinton.com/p/less-outrage…

Howard Thurman: “Too often the weight of the Christian movement has been on the side of the strong and the powerful…” That line is why “take the country back for Christ” makes me nervous. goodwillhinton.com/p/the-good-old…

“Everything is corrupt” sounds like realism. Most of the time, it’s an escape hatch. On why Christians should choose reform over burn-it-down cynicism. goodwillhinton.com/p/why-everythi…

The Venezuela headline wasn’t the most revealing part. The comments were. A framework for judging the news by ethics + constitutional limits—not tribe loyalty. goodwillhinton.com/p/when-the-tri…

If you oppose authoritarianism, don’t imitate its spirit. MLK’s nonviolence wasn’t a vibe—it was a refusal. The fire they’re hoping for is the one we’re tempted to light. goodwillhinton.com/p/the-fire-the…

A narrow masculinity doesn’t just harm boys. It ripples outward—into marriages, workplaces, and public life. A few thoughts on “real men,” self-control, and becoming safe. goodwillhinton.com/p/real-men/

Renee Good had just dropped off her 6-year-old at school. Hours later, she was dead—shot by an ICE officer. The footage and the talking points don’t match. This is about accountability, masks, and the reflex to defend power before we look. goodwillhinton.com/p/the-smear-af…

This isn’t about immigration. It’s about restraint, due process, and who we’re willing to call an enemy. goodwillhinton.com/p/this-isnt-ab…

Your major is a starting coordinate, not a prison cell. Wrote about geography, GIS, commercial real estate, web dev, consulting—and why our careers look more like maps than ladders. goodwillhinton.com/p/maps-not-lad…

You can tell the truth and still be cruel. You can be right and still lose your soul. This is an essay about reconciliation—not as softness, but as disciplined courage. goodwillhinton.com/p/justice-with…

Not everything deserves a response. This does. When a leader shares dehumanization, it’s not “controversy”—it’s moral corrosion. And it tests what we’re willing to excuse for our side. goodwillhinton.com/p/not-everythi…

You don’t have to be progressive to care about democracy. You don’t have to be conservative to care about crime reduction. When every belief becomes a badge, citizenship becomes a loyalty test. Maybe the bar isn’t left or right—just American. 🇺🇸 goodwillhinton.com/p/you-dont-hav…

Real community shows up after the official part is over. Not with a text—with presence. Here’s what I’ve learned about friendship as social infrastructure (and a question worth asking). goodwillhinton.com/p/the-infrastr…

A stranger asked the question we’re all asking each other now: “What are you?” Politics. Religion. Labels. I tried something else—curiosity. Here’s what I learned about control and leaving a conversation with warmth intact. goodwillhinton.com/p/negronis-swi…
