One group member talked about Jesus’s message of universal welcome, particularly to those who do not fit into society’s mold. This is mirrored in the image of a mushroom sticking out of the ground and holding beauty. @EvangelismOnlin

One group member talked about the adaptability of Christ to liberate us towards freedom and goodness. This is mirrored in an image of a sunset on the beach. @EvangelismOnlin

[abbyholcombe @abbyholcombe1]

One group member sees the Church as the sacramental presence of God. This reinforces the expansive mercy of God that builds diverse communities of people.

One group member stayed with Jesus because of his way and example of justice, particularly to the marginalized. This plays out in a picture of the UMC 2019 General Conference where queer people and allies sang in protest of the vote. @EvangelismOnlin

One group member stayed with Jesus because of his message of unconditional love for all—a love that can’t be earned and is at the end of all searching. This is mirrored through different hands holding each other, representing diversity and inclusive community. @EvangelismOnlin

[abbyholcombe @abbyholcombe1]

We shared stories about different experiences with evangelism. Three people from our group are from the Bible Belt! @EvangelismOnlin

[abbyholcombe @abbyholcombe1]

Excited to undertake a reframing of evangelism this semester! @EvangelismOnlin

Everything you've ever seen and touched and heard belongs to God. You're not just imperfect, you're a human--you're like a worm! Don't think so highly of yourself.

Job 25:2-6

@Hermenewt
If you stop sinning and stop letting these bad things happen to you, then you will no longer live in fear and despair.

Job 11:15-16

Buddy, you've let your anger blind you into a rage against God. You complain like you have a right to know God's plan, like your existence constitutes knowing the ways of the divine. But you're just a regular person.
Job 15:7-13

@GretaG_ETSit I'm at the vast recesses of the universe, where you at?

Job 38:16-18

[abbyholcombe @abbyholcombe1]

@garrett_unrue Oh so you admit that you're all talk with no answers? Great. Good talk. I'm gonna go back to hanging out at the source of light.

Job 38:2, 19

@er_thinks Even beholding the glories of my creation, Leviathan or Behemoth, will overpower you. What puny human has the power to challenge me? Any weapon you could possibly use is something I made. This is my world, you're just living in it. Job 40:15, 41:1, 8-11 #GodAttack #JobvGod

[abbyholcombe @abbyholcombe1]

@Hermenewt No one:
Literally no one:
Job: I know more than God. #GodAttack #JobvGod Job 38:2-3

[abbyholcombe @abbyholcombe1]

@Hermenewt Speak up and make your complaint known! I didn't realize you were in the business of judging. Show me your divine glory, majesty, and wisdom, and I'll let you sit in the judgment seat. Job 40:2, 8-10. #GodAttack #JobvGod

[abbyholcombe @abbyholcombe1]

Hey @GretaG_ETSit you destroy both good people and bad. I could do everything perfectly and you'd still find a reason to be mad at me and wish evil upon me. Job 9:20-22 #JobAttack #JobvGod

[abbyholcombe @abbyholcombe1]

@former_prophet why don't you ever punish the wicked or take your anger out on them? Job 21:17 #JobAttack #JobvGod

[abbyholcombe @abbyholcombe1]

Hey @AnummaBrooke I've done everything you asked, and you're still going to do whatever you want. Why shouldn't I just flee in dread into the darkness? Job 23:12-17 #JobAttack #JobvGod

[abbyholcombe @abbyholcombe1]

Hey @rkainmdiv being a human is hard enough (Job 7:1). It would be great if you could stop picking on me and finally release me from these terrible things. Job 7:20-21. #JobAttack #JobvGod
