Once Upon a Time Apr 02, 2022

Show notes

"We are hanging onto this world like it is something we like. We are hanging onto this world like it was something we need. We are hanging onto this world like we have no other choice. And it's not that we have run out of alternatives, it's just that we have been beaten into a poverty of imagination. A poverty of faith. A poverty of the power of Once Upon a Time. And so, Jesus gets us back on track. Jesus activates our holy imagination. Jesus says 'Story, Story' … and the people cry "Story" and gather around. Jesus says, 'Once upon a time.'"

Nevertheless, We Persist Mar 17, 2022

Show notes

"Voices like Verna's […] remind us about our history in order to empower us for our future: voices that comfort us in our affliction and afflict us in our comfort … voices that call us to continue to ask of ourselves and each other: "What would it mean to actually follow Jesus?" as we work together to make the dream come true."

Where the Sidewalk Ends Mar 11, 2022

Show notes

"So, some temptations may be so culturally conditioned that they need to be named as not temptations to something bad at all. Others truly are harmful to ourselves and others … and .. they are still not referenda on who we are and our worthiness and lovability. They are signs of a deeper hunger that can be sated, a deeper bondage from which we can be free. And our task – together … always together … is to attend to them so we can get to the wound that really needs to be treated, the hole in our heart that really needs to be filled."

Who Are You? Mar 11, 2022

Show notes

"This gift of the epiphany that there is a disjuncture between our outward and inward selves that doesn't have to be this way, and the witness of the courage it takes not only to name but claim our truest identity, to love that truest identity, fully to live into that truest identity is part of the deep gift those among us who are transgender have for the rest of this body. Why those among us who are transgender are indispensable to the body of Christ, with a life and witness indispensable to each and all of our liberation.

Those among us who are trans are uniquely equipped to be the gathered community's Sherpas on this courageous journey of rejecting all that the world tells us we are and claiming all that God knows that we are. The courageous journey of confounding expectations and shedding shackles that comes from singing the answer to the question

Who. Are. You?"
