  • Who are my opponents this election season?

    When we read St. Paul’s letter to the Galatians through the lens of “resist divide and conquer”, there are a few different possibilities as to who exactly Paul’s opponents are. Vince and Hayley draw parallels to today to consider different ways to respond to different types of opponents we may face. (Photo from Shraga Kopstein via Unsplash)

  • Resist Divide & Conquer this Election Season (Galatians, wk 1)

    We’re spending this election season addressing one of the oldest political abuses in the book: divide and conquer. The Christian tradition actually has an incredible resource for resisting it: Paul’s letter to the Galatians. (Photo by Zach Wear via Unsplash)

  • Healthy vs. Predatory Values Work

    Values work is awesome! AND, unfortunately, values work sells well. So invitations into values work are everywhere in our culture: at work, at school, at church last week, in therapy, on the internet, every ad we see or hear. How do we distinguish the healthy invitations from the predatory ones? (Original photo from Jannet Serhan via Unsplash, edited)

  • Struggle against systems, not bad guys

    On the weekend we celebrate working people’s achievements toward justice in America, we look to the Black Social Gospel, to the Bible’s version of understanding systemic injustice, and to those organizing us in the ongoing struggle today.
