A bite-sized piece about beauty and wholeness in the church from a couple of my writing colleagues, with a bit from yours truly! https://t.co/RaFvUWzBlW @missioalliance
People of privilege typically don’t pay any attention to daily injustices because they have simply not happened to them. For people of color, we notice these microagressions, which lead to feelings of relational isolation. (2/2) https://t.co/Tcz6zaoY3R via @missioalliance
God has not changed: not in His character, and not in His love for you. God is not looking at you in anger, or waiting for an apology, or drawing breath for a fire-and-brimstone lecture. God stands, arms wide, paintbrush in hand. https://t.co/q1xARQx1MZ via @missioalliance
I know that God shapes us in a big way in our moments of suffering, but we often ignore Him in the struggles of daily life. Could my mundane, ordinary life be the formation my soul needs to become more like Christ? (1/2) https://t.co/3KeAdhrTCk via @missioalliance
This Saturday I felt a nudge: that the Holy Spirit wasn’t stuck in the pages I was reading less and less often, but was active, here and now. I saw the humans around me as the precious creations of God that they truly were. https://t.co/1QEITLhJCj via @missioalliance
What is the role of Christ-followers to address blatant injustices impacting the livelihoods of people who many of us are privileged to avoid, move away from, or simply consider as non-existent? (1/2) https://t.co/lzypyDPwkZ via @missioalliance
Excellent article by my writing colleague! Jesus didn’t turn to tools and techniques to control and manage outcomes. In fact, he gave up control, entering our world and becoming a human being (See Philippians 2:5-11). (2/2) https://t.co/9yTfAlRA9H via @missioalliance
Offering presence and kindness goes a long way in aiding a person in their journey of healing from trauma. Don’t underestimate the power of 'being with' someone, offering the gift of attuned listening and non-judgemental curiosity. https://t.co/ijNZm16YG0 via @missioalliance
This is a wise and timely article! @missioalliance
"Maybe that’s what Christian moral leadership in our cultural moment is all about. Perhaps it’s about being willing to take the long way around big issues in the company of others." https://t.co/B8c86zZ1dY via @missioalliance
"This season in the life of the church might allow us to get serious about the business of shalom by taking stock of who is missing and what is broken and get to work apologizing, fixing, and gathering in worship."
A fantastic essay from @MandiniTheGreat for @missioalliance
