Anna and Rayah talk about Luke 5:1-11. After a night of crappy fishing, Jesus has his disciples lower their nets one more time and they bring in a large haul. Then he tells them it's time to be fishers of men.  Rayah talks about the context of the fishing economy and the way that economy exploited marginalized workers like the disciples before they left to follow Jesus and how radical it was for them to change their role. Anna talks about how sometimes hoping after such a long time in a hopeless situation is a vulnerable thing to do, but it is okay to give those hidden hopes some air and bring them to life again. They also look at how this story shifts from the more individualistic “fish to provide for myself” to something much bigger and more focused on building community and relying on each other.    Anna Hoesly is a Pastor and Organizer at Storyline Community in Milwaukie, Oregon. Rayah Dickerson is a community member and theology nerd in Milwaukie, Oregon.

This week Stori and Rayah talk about 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 and the gifts of the Spirit. Rayah comes from traditions that often overspiritualized everything while Stori's faith background included a more concrete and "under spiritualized" lens. When coming to a scripture that details healing, tongues, and prophesy, that can mean very different things! They go over some of the ways that certain gifts tend to sit higher up on a hierarchy and be glorified more than others and how harmful that can be. They found good news in there being an important place and role for each of us and that there is room for seeing things through news lenses.  Stori Long is a Pastor and Social Media Organizer at Storyline Community in Milwaukie, Oregon. Rayah Dickerson is a community member and activist in Milwaukie, Oregon.

For the 4th week of Advent Stori and Rayah host the conversation around Luke 1:46-55 - The Magnificat or Song of Mary. Stori and Rayah reflect on a shared church history of sidelining or downplaying Mary. Rayah talks about how Mary's song isnt just a quoting of the prophets or learned scriptures, but an embodied song of hope in her own words. Stori talks about the beauty and heartbreak of Mary's resilient, enduring presence throughout the entire gospel story.    Stori Long is a Pastor and Social Media Organizer at Storyline Community in Milwaukie, Oregon. Rayah Dickerson is a community member and activist in Milwaukie, Oregon.

This week Pastor Anna Hoesly and community activist Rayah Dickerson dig into Jeremiah 11:18-20 and James 3:13-4:3, 7-8a. They explore the levels of trauma - this isnt just about the pain of one particular prophet - Jeremiah's pain comes from being betrayed while speaking the truth about community trauma. Pulling in the James texts lends insight as to what can happen when trauma and harms are brushed over in the name of peacemaking instead of revealed - an internal spiral of focus rather than a path toward healing. The reality is that you cannot have true peace when people are being harmed or are suffering alone. Speaking the truth about difficult things gives us the chance to address harms and heal by giving us a tangible place to begin.

Read more about Amira and see photos on this blog post.Amira Stanley is a mindset & intention coach, end-of-life doula, and anti-racism educator and community activist. She grew up Black and gay in mostly small cities or towns, has lived with pain from hip dysplasia and lost a huge amount of weight so she could have hip replacement, supported her beloved husband through his transition, and has dealt with the emotional trauma of racism all her life, only to discover this one year ago through education and studying. She's always been an LGBTQIA+ activist, but now she's also become an anti-racist and community activist. “It's a mission of mine to help people be okay with sitting in discomfort. We're not going to get to the other side without sitting in discomfort.”Amira knew she loved women and female energy from the age of seven or eight. She had crushes on all her little white girlfriends. When her mom made her go to church, she started receiving the message that liking the same sex was bad. At age 18 she finally had the nerve to come out as bisexual. Every time she'd bring male friends home, her mom would get her hopes up…so finally Amira decided to make a choice and be with women. When Amira got older and began volunteering with the Living Room Youth, an organization that celebrates and supports LGBTQIA+ youth in Clackamas County, Oregon, she realized she was pansexual (not limited in sexual choice with regard to biological sex, gender, or gender identity).Amira shared a phenomenal story about her husband coming out as transgender. I asked her if she has any advice for people whose partners are transitioning.“Allow them to be who they are, but also take care of you. If it's something you can't handle, follow your own heart, but do it in a way that is loving and supportive to that person. If you can, walk them through this journey, especially if they have no one else. It's not easy, but if you can support them being who they are, that's priceless.”Amira has been shocked to discover the extreme racism in Salem, Oregon.“Salem is extremely racist. I've never been in a space where I've been very uncomfortable. I'm used to giving people eye contact and smiling. I don't do that anymore...It makes me sad but at the same time it made me sadder six months ago.”Living in such a racist town made her into an anti-racist and community activist. Attending a vigil for Breonna Taylor at the state capitol, she was inspired by Julianne Jackson, founder of Black Joy Oregon, to step it up. Julianne said, "if you're Black and you live in this city, there's basically no excuse. We need you out here. We need you. And I was crying and saying, okay Amira, you're terrified. But this chick is calling you out and you live here and this is what you need to do.”We talked about the ambitious “End White Supremacy by Way of Black Experience” event Amira and her team put in in April. We also talked about progressive Christianity, after she recently left a position at a local church, and her journey to get to wellness with hip dysplasia and weight loss. You can reach Amira on her website . Also, listen to her latest video podcast episode with her friend Rayah Dickerson on the topic of “Protesting: What's the Use of It?”Meeting and befriending Amira is one of the joys of the last  for me. And we need all the joys we can find right now!Contact us if you can use some help with your writing, editing, communications, or marketing.
