Healing the Crowds
Wednesday Self-Reflection
Today, I invite you to spend some time in silent consideration. Imagine me sitting with you and asking the following questions. Allow the time to turn into an internal conversation with me. I think this works best as a journalling exercise.
Have you ever felt like you were part of a crowd of people (maybe you share an identity) who struggled with something that was keeping you from truly enjoying the life you were meant to lead?
Think about the different “crowds” of people who are denied a full life. How many can you come up with? What is preventing them from living fully?
What does compassion look like for the crowds you just listed? How can you embody the compassion they need? How is embodying the compassion they need beyond what you can do? How do you handle having limitations that prevent you from fixing “everything”?

Support the Cause
My mission is to promote the progressive Christian voice in the spiritual/theological marketplace. I hope that by doing so I will help make the world a more loving place one newsletter at a time.

Will you consider becoming a financial supporter of the mission for only $6 per month? If so, I would greatly appreciate it.
