Resentment is a convincing narrator. But it doesn’t know much about God. This Lent, fast the voice that keeps turning you away. Turn back to the One who never turns from you. 🖤Ashes aren’t shame. They’re invitation. Dust is enough. - Ash Wedneday meditation by Pastor Kaji Douša youtu.be/aMs4PxIebSQ

Sometimes we collapse, not because we’re weak, but because it’s too much. The disciples fell flat in glory, but Jesus knelt down & said, “I’m here. Don’t be afraid.” Biology made them fall. Theology let them rise. - "Shine & Rise: Transfiguration" by Pastor Kaji youtu.be/RzAYv3C1t5E

"This Sunday we arrive at Transfiguration Sunday, the radiant turning point at the close of Epiphany. All season long we have been training our sight for revelation." - a message from Rev. @KajiDousa parkavenuechristian.com/a-message-fr...

So many of you don’t offer your gifts because you’re waiting for the right conditions, or for a more perfect version of yourself to emerge. Drop that demon. Because, in Jesus’ presence, what was precious is made sacred. - "Lifted: Gifted" by Pastor Kaji: youtu.be/Wn2tW5AQHN8
