Yousef identifies himself as a Christian Arab Palestinian. He was born in Gaza to a Christian family that has a long heritage of serving in the priesthood of the Greek Orthodox Church. He is married to Merna and they live in Bethlehem, Palestine. Yousef has written several poems in Arabic.

Christ in the Rubble: Kelly Latimore, Iconographer & Artist

Red Letter Christians partnered with artist Kelly Latimore of @kellylatimoreicons to create this new icon, "Christ in the Rubble," which illustrates the prophetic message that if Jesus was born today, he would be born "under the rubble."Kelly wants his art to be a ‘holy pondering’ - a process that potentially brings about a new way of seeing.Our hope is that this icon, "Christ in the Rubble" will create more dialogue among Christians in the United States during this holy season about the ways our beliefs and actions - or lack thereof - contribute to the violence we're currently witnessing in Gaza. How can we shape a culture of Christianity where love truly has no boundaries? How do we create a world where our poor, homeless, refugee, Palestinian Savior - born to a teenage mother and later condemned to death - would be cherished had he been born today.🚨🚨 Right now, when you give $100 or more on the Red Letter Christians website, you’ll receive a professional print of “Christ in the Rubble” SIGNED by Kelly Latimore. These special prints will be limited to the first 500 gifts made. ‼️All the donations Red Letter Christians collects from the sale of these prints will be donated to trusted Red Letter Christians partners working for peace on the ground in Gaza‼️All people, churches, organizations, etc are warmly welcomed and encouraged to share the digital version of this icon on social media and on their websites, particularly during the Christmas season.Let’s get some money to Gaza!!#palestine #gaza #peace #ChristintheRubble

American Idolatry: How Christian Nationalism Betrays the Gospel and Threatens the Church with author Andrew Whitehead

RLC Book Club with Andrew Whitehead
Power. Fear. Violence. These three idols of Christian nationalism are corrupting American Christianity.
Andrew Whitehead is a leading scholar on Christian nationalism in America and speaks widely on its effects within Christian communities. In this book, he shares his journey andreveals how Christian nationalism threatens the spiritual lives of American Christians and the church.
Whitehead shows how Christians harm their neighbors when they embrace the idols of power, fear, and violence. He uses two key examples – racism and xenophobia – to demonstrate that these idols violate core Christian beliefs. Through stories, he illuminates expressions of Christianity that confront Christian nationalism and offer a faithful path forward.
Andrew Whitehead’s latest book “American Idolatry” published by Brazos Press, encourages further conversation about what Christian nationalism threatens, how to face it, and why it is vitally important to do so. It will help identify Christian nationalism and build a framework that makes sense of the relationship between faith and the current political and cultural context.
