The angels asked Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and others, “why do you seek the living among the dead?” I see that question and see that we are not that far removed. We too have the propensity to look for life in tombs. We think more money can fix our problems. We think more stuff can fill the void in our soul. Perhaps it is a title, living in the right zip code, or getting your kid in the right school. Whatever the social indicator of success, if Christ is not in the center, we are merely hanging out in the tombs.Whole Easter service is available here.BaddestChaplain's Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.

In this episode we hear from David Lewis, Project Lead for the Memorial Foundation Social Justice Fellows Program! The curriculum for the Fellows Program centers advocacy, community organizing, learning, and public policy to creatively leverage the unique experiences of each Fellow.  Learning will be guided by some of the nation's leading voices on social justice through dynamic lectures and self-guided instructional modules.  As a result of participating in this Program, Fellows can expect to build an intentional community of support with like-minded leaders across the nation, explore high impact practices that move communities from consumers of a movement to activism, and develop an understanding of leadership and advocacy for long-term, sustainable community change. Applications for the 2023 Cohort are now available on thememorialfoundation.org and are due September 29th.  Subscribe to the Substack here: baddestchaplain.substack.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/baddestchaplain/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/baddestchaplain/support
