What does it mean to meet God with new language — and to tell old stories in a new voice?
In this restored sermon, we meet Abigail Adams, Broadway, and the ever-expanding God of Isaiah. We trace the evolution of theology, of national myth, and of who gets remembered. And we affirm that welcoming the new doesn’t mean eliminating the old — it just means recognizing that God has always been more.
✨ Featuring reflections on:
– God as Creator of the Way
– Abigail Adams and the theology of founding
– 1776, Hamilton, and casting as sacred re-narration
– Inclusive God-language
– The gentle work of learning new names for the Divine
📖 Isaiah 43:16–21
