We often curate our spiritual lives like a social media feed—cropping out the mess to present a picture of perfect piety. But God isn't scrolling for likes; God is looking for justice. In this sermon on Isaiah 58:1–12 and Matthew 5:13–20, Rev. Dr. Charissa Clark Howe confronts the trap of performative religion.Jesus calls us to be salt and light—elements that are useless if they stay in the shaker or hide under a bowl. True worship requires us to dissolve into the world, using our spiritual practices not as a trophy, but as fuel to feed the hungry and break the yoke of oppression. Listen in to explore how we can move from empty rituals to becoming "Repairers of the Breach."
