- Sermon at St. Andrew Christian Church, Olathe, KS
I love the fact that everyone I bumped into in Kansas City had stories to share, since I believe deeply in the power of our stories. Also, Olathe was an intense place for me as a South Asian to go, since it was the sight of a tragic and violent hate crime against a South Asian man not too long before my visit. What a beautiful congregation, what a wonderful welcome.

19 min - Sermon at Lafayette Orinda Presbyterian Church on the very first church in Acts
I remember studying this passage with evangelical friends in college who said how much they loved it; it sounds like communism BUT NOT COMMUNISM BECAUSE IT IS ABOUT JESUS. They worshipped a profoundly capitalist Jesus and this passage was a real struggle for them. It was a gift to share some reflections on what this passage means in a time of growing economic disparity today.
