In this episode, we'll continue to build our God-honoring responses to current events. Not only are we called to walk in love but to take responsibility for our words that could potentially de-humanize the people we are talking about. Dehumanization is a slippery slope to "rejoicing in social injustices," which, according to 1 Corinthians 13:6, is NOT God's love. Β
We'll also talk about the importance of soul care and some practical tips to keep your soul energized and strong during this deluge of emotionally taxing current events. Let's be counter-cultural and slow down rather than jump on the urgent-train and feel compelled to spit out hot takes within moments after another painful current event causes our heads to spin again.

SHOW NOTES
Part 1 of this series: How to Formulate a God-Honoring Response to Current Events
John 13:35 NLT "Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples."
I Corinthians 13:6 NLT "[Love] does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out."
Isaiah 61:1-3 CJB
The Spirit of Adonai Elohim is upon me,
because Adonai has anointed me
to announce good news to the poor.
He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted;
to proclaim freedom to the captives,
to let out into light those bound in the dark;
to proclaim the year of the favor of Adonai
and the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all who mourn,
yes, provide for those in Tziyon who mourn,
giving them garlands instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
a cloak of praise instead of a heavy spirit,
so that they will be called oaks of righteousness
planted by Adonai, in which he takes pride.
