GomBurZa for the Masses

Last year, I asked the question: What are the advantages of having Church people or people of faith in our peoples movements and our movements for liberation? This episode we tackle the first response I received - Church people are good at program. Let's explore this together.

In this episode we scratch the surface on a couple of popular ideas around why Christians support Zionism, intentionally or otherwise. Plus, at the end of the episode, orgs to follow in solidarity with Palestine.

It's never too late to talk about Creation even though Earth Day passed. What does it mean to be faithful defenders and protectors of Creation and can't we push churches to do more. Also shout out to Workers and Mothers (and those who are both!) on International Workers Day and Mother's Day. :D 

I'm back to wish you a happy Easter Season! As we wrestle with understanding the Resurrection, are we able to find the liberating message that encourages us to do our part in paving the way for new life? Christ is risen! Rise up, my people, rise up! Be sure to follow me on Instagram @thatrevreverend for more content and updates.

Previously on Facebook Live: Questions & Ma'am-Sirs is back! Every week for Pride month Jeanelle is going on Facebook live for casual Q&A about all things LGBTQ+, Christian and the intersections in between. This week Jorim joined us. We talked about Tony McDade, the uprisings for Black lives, what this could mean for LGBTQ+ people, people of faith, Asian Americans, and changing how Pride might be celebrated. Weekly live sessions are 30mins-1hr, depending on the conversation.

The 3 Kings. The 3 Wise Men. The Magi. Who were they and what did they contribute to the Christmas Story?

Mary. Mother of Jesus. The one who birthed, nourished, and raised a revolutionary. But how revolutionary was she?

In this episode we scratch the surface on Queer - what does "queer" mean? What is "queering"? And what does this have to do with spirituality?

In this episode, to set the tone for Good Friday, we will explore what it means to be a prophet and why they are so important, even today.

In this episode, we will explore the story of Jesus in the wilderness and break down his encounter with the devil. What in the world does this text have to do with activism?

In this episode, in light of the recent tragedy in Christchurch, we take a tiny scratch to the surface on how Christianity has been used as a tool of oppression, still manifesting in our times.

This episode let's reflect a little bit about Ash Wednesday and what that could mean for us as people who aim to do good for our world.

This episode I share a little bit about myself and what gives me hope through a sermon I gave during Cal-Nev UMC's Gathering of the Orders last month.
