Seems to us that when empathy is called sin, we have completely lost any theology of grace. Christ's commandments were very clear; love God, love one another as God has loved us. Humans can't do either one without empathy.

There will be many posts with quotes because he said so many profound and inspiring things. Today, I’m posting this picture because it reminds me of how cool and wonderful he was. I often wonder if Jesus hasn’t come back a few times and we still keep killing him. #mlkday2025

The piece about our summer series on Christian Nationalism made the top of Teri Ott’s list! It was such an amazing experience to do this project with Haley and Joe. ❤️

Our church is featured in one of these! Our summer project of joining WPPC and WPC in a summer series against Christian Nationalism was a true high point of 2024 for us.

The Bible is often used to keep us tame and compliant. There's a politically subversive thread in the Bible, beginning with creation, the prophets, to the gospel narrative of Jesus, through to John's Revelation. The conversation between Mary and Elizabeth is a case in point.
