‘That Body, This Body, Next Body’
This body is sacred. That body was sacred. And so shall your next body be. Remember to survive, yes, but also, dear child of God — remember to thrive.
Ultimate allegiance
So, Church—what shall we do next? The we is imperative because if we are to truly be one nation under God, if we are to truly be incorporated in the body of Christ, if we are to truly embody our ultimate allegiance to the empire of eternity, our next moves must be different.
Being a woman should not be a death sentence
We must do more than lament, we must act. We must shore up the courage to not look away when our sisters, mothers, aunties, cousins, friends experience domestic violence.
We must make better worlds
For that dedicated, regular time away to be respected and honored, we must develop grace-filled, compassionate cultures within our churches that destigmatizes mental health and emphasize self-care for both congregants and clergy.
A woman after God’s own heart
All my life, I’ve seen my mom set time aside from being a mother, a wife, a teacher, a daughter, a sister, a friend, to spend time with God.
