When things feel out of control, most of us do one of two things: we retreat to what's familiar, or we come out swinging. But what if both of those instincts are actually traps — and there's a harder, stranger option that history keeps proving actually works?
In this sermon, Pastor Anthony traces a thread from an ancient prophet to a Berlin prayer service that helped bring down a wall, asking what it really looks like to resist something without becoming it. The answer involves a donkey, 70,000 candles, and the idea that showing up — openly, stubbornly, joyfully — is its own kind of power.
If you're feeling stuck between fight and flight right now, this one's worth your time.
