Check out this powerful song by @commonhymnal, which encourages us to continue to push for the passage H.R. 40--the bill that would establish a commission to study and develop reparation proposals for African Americans.

@BethMooreLPM, thank you for sharing our song, #HeHasTime, and giving it an opportunity to find its way into the hearts of many who are still reeling in the after-effects of abuse.

This is another week when we are reading headlines about sexual abuse in the church. We hope that this and other of our songs can find their way into many a broken heart. #HeHasTime 4/4 https://t.co/xtFcyQomeC

[Common Hymnal @commonhymnal]

Even though Christianity has tried to avoid dealing with real issues like sexual abuse, sexuality, and racism, our world is becoming increasingly ‘real’ and the church is being forced to be more honest and open. #HeHasTime 1/4

[Common Hymnal @commonhymnal]

We have been in the trenches, too, finding ways to bring the beauty of Christ into the issues of the day - through music and poetry, etc. Therefore, our gratitude when Beth shared #HeHasTime today. 3/4

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

Jesus is not an abuser.
Jesus is not a racist.
Jesus is not a user.
Jesus is not a liar.
No matter who has preached him to you or represented him to you then proved untrue, Jesus is true.
Faithful.
Holy.
Honorable.
He is Light.
And in him is no darkness.
He is not like us.

@BethMooreLPM, thank you for sharing #HeHasTime and giving it an opportunity to find its way into the hearts of many who are in need of a holy retreat to give Jesus a chance to apply his balm to the broken places in their hearts. 🤲❤️🙏

To all of you who, like me, have suffered abuse. This song by @commonhymnal shared with me today deeply ministered to me. May God make it a healing balm to you.

“You’re not what happened...Jesus runs after the broken ones, weeping with those who weep...”

@BethMooreLPM & @drmoore my friends (at @commonhymnal) created this song and thought it might be encouraging to you both right now. It’s beautiful. And so are you. Grateful for your courage.

Grateful for the invitation from my @commonhymnal family to offer up my own words and thoughts straight from my heart and off the top of the dome on this International Women’s Day, for such a time.

Now, A Private Online Community

We have synced up our @Patreon with another well-known tech platform, @discord, to build a private online, membership-based community, a supportive infrastructure for creatives in the movement to meet, learn from and collaborate with each other.

[Common Hymnal @commonhymnal]

As today’s generation engages less and less in the ‘overground’ church, we have been investing in the spiritual underground, building out a virtual library to facilitate a vibrant and ongoing exchange of songs, stories, and ideas between the various communities in this space.

[Common Hymnal @commonhymnal]

If you would like to become a part of this community and help us coalesce the uncoalesced, please join our @Patreon and journey with us as we expand the project. (6/6) https://t.co/CnL3vWQyhS

As today’s generation engages less and less in the ‘overground’ church, Common Hymnal has been anticipating the future of Christianity by building out a virtual library in the spiritual underground to facilitate a vibrant and ongoing exchange of songs, stories, and ideas (1/6)

[Common Hymnal @commonhymnal]

We will be beta-testing this construct this year - adding a couple new tiers of engagement and experimenting with a variety of services and interactive elements. (5/6)
