How to Grieve

How to Survive the Election

When we vote, we tend to think about our own wants and needs. But Jesus implores us to put others before ourselves. How do we do that in politics? Rev. Sonya Brown invites us to consider how the practice of lament can help us hear the voices of the most vulnerable among us.

From Series: "How to Survive the Election"

The 2020 election is, somehow, the most divisive, painful election yet. The divisions revealed by the last four years are as bad inside the Church as anywhere else. How can we navigate this season? How can we not just survive, but thrive as God's people in the next month?

We ended 2012 in the Revelation, exploring how Jesus’ coming into our lives is the End of the World as we know it. But if Jesus’ coming is the End, it’s also a new beginning. Jesus’ death and resurrection reconnect us with God, open up a world that has been lost to us since Sin entered into the world. So to kick off 2013, we’re going to dive into Genesis 1-2. We’ll explore God’s original intentions for the world, and the implications for our new life in Jesus. After all, in the new year, it’s good to get the First Things First!
