One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

“Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed, making widows their prey and robbing the orphan.” -Isaiah 10:1-2

On March 1st, I’m plunging into freezing water for Ella’s Special Olympics team! These athletes inspire with their determination and joy. Help me honor them by donating—I’m aiming for $500! Want to jump too? Let me know! Together, we can make a difference!

In a time when the powerful dismiss the cries of the poor & the oppressed, we turn to a God who listens, shelters, and uplifts. We stand with those whose voices are deemed unworthy by earthly powers, remembering that God’s tent has no walls and welcomes all who seek refuge.

If you’re upset by a woman prophetically speaking truth to power, allow me to introduce you to Jesus’ mom:

“God has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. God has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.” -Luke 1:52-53

This kid and headbands....walking past the aisle she stopped dead in her tracks and whispered, "My dream come true..." She proceeded to take one down, hug it and said, "my precious."😂

A prayer for the tough days. Don't let them break you down to dust. Burst through the barricades, reach for the sun. Be you, be loved.

You know those books that you can read several times and find something new each time....this is that. Underline it all, highlight it all, and read slowly to fully take it all in and chew on it.

Gracious God, today we remember the transgender lives lost to violence and hate. Comfort those who grieve, heal wounds of fear, inspire us to work for a world where all are safe, valued, and loved. Teach us to walk humbly in your way of peace, embracing the beauty of your diverse creation. Amen.
