A former youth pastor, John Pavlovitz, has ignited a firestorm with a scathing blog post on Substack, declaring it’s impossible to be a ‘good person’ and support Donald Trump. ‘Aligning with him is fundamentally antithetical to anything good,’ he wrote on August 2, slamming Trump’s policies and character as the ‘very worst humanity has produced.’
Pavlovitz, once a pastor at an evangelical church in North Carolina, has been a fierce Trump critic since 2016.

‘But this President is not a good human being, and there’s simply no way around this truth,’ Pavlovitz declared.
Progressive Christian circles have rallied behind his words, with one faith news outlet dubbing him the ‘digital pastor of the resistance’ for his viral essays.
This isn’t just a rant—it’s a call to action. Pavlovitz even suggests cutting off Trump-supporting loved ones, claiming their morals are repugnant. Do you agree with drawing such a hard line, or is this too far?
