Gaza is bleeding. This is genocide. As people of faith, we cannot be silent. We are called to pray with tears in our eyes and to protest with courage in our steps. Pray for every sacred life lost. Protest systems that fund destruction. Persist until justice flows and peace is possible.

Joy is a form of resistance. In a world that so often seeks to divide, diminish, or distract us from love, we choose joy. We choose to hold our loved ones close, to laugh loud, to embrace fully, and to live as if every moment matters because it does. May we never forget that love is our protest!

Joy on our crisis of democracy: "Tonight on our final ReidOut, we’re going to talk about what people are actually doing to resist this and get some great advice from some of our favorite friends on what more we can do."

“But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in God] Will gain new strength and renew their power; They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; They will run and not become weary, They will walk and not grow tired. “Isaiah 40:31

On this Day, Watch and Pray! “Put on the whole armour of God…For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭

Glowing up for Christmas!

So prepare your minds for action, be completely sober [in spirit—steadfast, self-disciplined, spiritually and morally alert], fix your hope completely on the grace [of God] that is coming to you when Jesus Christ is revealed. 1 Peter 1:13
