10/10/2020: En el episodio de esta semana de Jevas Combativas, hablamos con la pastora, abogada y activista salvadoreña y abiertamente lesbiana Rev. Rhina Ramos que dirige el Ministerio Latino de la iglesia inclusiva United Church of Christ. Aquí les compartimos algunas maneras de reconciliarnos con la fe si nos hemos alejado de nuestras creencias por la política progresista y la justicia social. 1. Tenemos que creer que el cristianismo está atado a las causas de justicia social. Jesús nos llamó a hacer justicia, a promover el amor, la nobleza y caminar en humildad. 2. No te castigues o te alejes de tu espiritualidad por amar a quien decides amar, por la forma en que te identificas o por las cosas que has hecho. A través de la Biblia, nos recuerdan una y otra vez que somos perfectos de la forma en que hemos sido creados. 3. Aprende a distinguir la diferencia entre la iglesia y Dios. La iglesia está compuesta de seres humanos susceptibles a cometer errores y a sentir odio. 4. Si los conservadores usan la interpretación de las escrituras para influenciar la política partidista, no tengas miedo de usar los mandamientos de Dios para mostrar compasión: buscar la justicia y servir a los oprimidos. 5. Procura integrarte en una comunidad de fe que te acepta por ser quien eres. Existimos y cada día crecemos más. English: In this week's episode of Jevas Combativas, we speak with Rev. Rhina Ramos, a lesbian Salvadoran lawyer and pastor of the Spanish-speaking LGBTQ-inclusive United Church of Christ place of worship, Ministerio Latino. Here are some ways she believes people who have left the Chrisitan church because of their progressive politics can reconcile their faith with social justice. 1. Understand that the Christian faith is tied to social justice. Jesus calls on us to “do justice, to love kindness and to walk humbly.” 2. Don't beat yourself up or depart from your spirituality because of who you love, how you identify or things you've done. Throughout the Bible, we are reminded that we were made perfect and that we are special as we are. 3. Learn to distinguish the church, which is made up of humans who are susceptible to error and hate, from God. 4. If conservatives use their interpretation of scripture to influence politics, don't be afraid to make what God has commanded of us -- to show compassion, seek justice and serve the oppressed -- political as well. 5. Seek out a faith-based community that will accept you wholly. We exist, and we grow bigger every day.

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang.

But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
