Girrrrrrrl. Dang. I got chills multiple times reading this. Thank you for being such a consistent reminder of what it means to be a Christ follower in this amped-up tribal moment in history. I needed this. Thank you for your voice in the world!!!!
YES. I keep asking myself, "what have I learned since last time? how can I do this one differently?" and tending to my nervous system, limiting my news intake, and caring for my community in tangible ways keep making it to the top of the list. Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's.
What gets me is that I want to go look. Not from a sense of participation, but as a spectacle. It takes spiritual discipline to fill your time with the things you speak of: real community and God. This is my goal now: less spectacle more time for the real things.
Love this so much. I, too, have found myself far too often in the downward spiral of doomscrolling, ranting about things I can’t control instead of paying attention to what’s in front of me. God’s kingdom is right here - in my home, in my local community, amongst real everyday people.
