@BethMooreLPM Thank you Beth! For being a strong voice for those of us who desire to see true Christianity follow Jesus and not American nationalism. You are a brave woman!
At the US-Mexico border, spending time with brothers and sisters on both sides. Especially as citizens of another world, God give us wisdom and courage to live for justice and mercy in this one.
I love that Jesus chose to appear with scars on his hands.
He could have shown up flawless; instead he modeled something different.
Perhaps healing doesn’t come from ignoring our wounds or humanity—but by participating with God as we embrace the whole of our stories.
If you think Brett Kavanaugh was "just a kid" at 17 but that Tamir Rice was a "dangerous thug" at 12, you might need to rethink what it is you're really defending.
Random thought: We need both Martin Luther Kings and Mr. Rogers. We need both people with prophetic fire and people with gentle spirits. I think sometimes we criticize one for not being the other instead of recognizing that each has their place and importance.
Boundary work is such a huge part of healing + growth:
“Daring to set boundaries is about having to the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.” @BreneBrown#courage#boundaries#wholeness
