Join us for Season 4 as we consider hot-button issues alive and well in our world today: Living Faithfully in an Upside-Down World.

ONE SMALL STEP

Spend less time on social media this week.

In a polarized world with fear and hate spewed on the Internet, a breath prayer helps orient you. Practice a breath prayer as you open social media this week. Lord Jesus Christ (breathe in), Have mercy on me, a sinner (breathe out). Then pray for the Spirit to guide you into love — rather than fear — as you interact online.
