Please be aware of these themes and care for yourself accordingly. Make sure you're in a space where that flow of conversation is something you can navigate at the time, and that you drink water and snuggle your ...

You can listen to "The Kingdom is Yours" by Common Hymnal here, and maybe have tissues nearby if you cry during songs. (The last time I tried to lead this in a congregational setting I literally couldn't finish the song because I was weeping. It&ap...
Quotes this week taken from the documentary Crip Camp, which you can stream on Netflix.
Blessed are you who wait for tomatoes.
Who water and weed and pray for rain and sun.
Blessed are you building a highway in the wilderness,
Or at least you were,
Until you were stopped by the zoning board.
Since when does the wilderness have a process for proposals and approvals anyway?

A Blessing for Advent week 2:

Sources mentioned in this podcast include, Dr. Stephanie Buckhanon Crowder's commentary on Luke contained in True to Our Native Land and concepts from Dr. Scot McKnight's commentary on Philemon in the New International Commentary series. I can't remember which episode it was in, but adrienne maree brown talks about the wisdom of mushrooms on her podcast How to Survive The End of The World, which I highly recommend a...
