"When we, as people of color, narrate our own stories, we take control of our representation, explaining and celebrating the agency of liberation within us.

God Our Mother by Allison Woodard

"To be a Mother is to suffer;
To travail in the dark,
stretched and torn,
exposed in half-naked humiliation,
subjected to indignities
for the sake of new life.

To be a Mother is to say,
'This is my body, broken for you,'
And, in the next instant, in response to the created’s primal hunger,
'This is my body, take and eat.'

To be a Mother is to self-empty,
To neither slumber nor sleep,
so attuned You are to cries in the night—Offering the comfort of Yourself, and assurances of 'I’m here.'"

Tai Chi, Harriet Tubman, and Jesus…what do all of these have in common??? You’ll find out in episode as we are guided by Jesus comforting His disciples in John 14:1-14. ⁠“I go away to prepare a place for you, and where I am ye may be also.”⁠

In this episode, Pastor Chris guides us through the Emmaus story in Luke 24:13-35. 

"Elusive God, companion on the way, you walk behind, beside, beyond; you catch us unawares. Break through the disillusionment and despair clouding our vision, that, with wide-eyed wonder, we may find our way and journey on as messengers of your good news. Amen."

Eastertide, in the Church Year, is quite literally fifty days of feasting. This represents the main point of the whole gospel which is to prepare us for an eternal celebration and feast.⁠
