Jesus did not have to prove himself to the devil to show he was the Son of God. We do not have to prove ourselves to be worthy of God’s love. You do not have to prove yourself in order to be worthy of God’s love.
What might you need to set down in order to make more space for God? What can you pick up in order to get closer to God? How can these practices create more connection with God, yourselves, and your neighbors?
Traversed the snow to preach for some good folks today.
Together we dug into Jesus’s temptation in the wilderness. In this season, we have an opportunity to strengthen spiritual practices.
A friendly reminder that Lent is not the diet season of the church.
✨Fasting =/= Diet Culture ✨
Lent I is quite the day to pulpit supply for people you’re meeting for the first time!
Pray for me!
🧊 out of everywhere.
Abolish 🧊.
Chinga la migra.
*Pay attention to which neighborhoods have active presence and which ones are able to live with business as usual. Which areas have helicopters flying overhead day and night. Which metro stops are swarmed with feds for "fare evasion," etc.
I have seen it in my own neighborhood and across DC for months now.
Kidnapping people off the street.
Harassing neighbors on public transportation.
Shooting into vehicles.
It's all interconnected.
I have read the articles. I have listened to the lawyers representing people shot at by federal agents testify at city hall and call for answers and accountability.
What happened today in Minneapolis is a completely preventable tragedy.
And these tactics are happening all over the place.*
Federal agents have shot into cars at drivers for months now with impunity.

Renee Good should still be alive.
The empire murdered her in Minneapolis.
And...they have used these tactics in DC already.
Today marks 3 years since the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to abortion.

Plus, it is so so sweet to celebrate this with my bestie @revlizzie.bsky.social! The way we both squealed when we learned we would both be on the list! 🥰🤩🥳
We are moving and shaking, following the movement of the Spirit, and shaping the church toward more justice, more liberation, and more shame-free living. We are resisting forces of oppression, namely white Christian nationalism, and God is with us. Amen. Amen. Amen.
It is an honor to join this number of women I know, love, look up to, and admire (and some I’m just learning about!). It is not lost on me that a publication like Sojourners saw our work supporting abortion access and Reproductive Justice, and our loud queer witness and said YES!
Wow! I am starstruck that @sojo.net thought of me, my amazing Co-Director Rev. Iya Latishia James, and SACReD, and added us to this list of powerful, amazing, badass women shaping the church in 2025!
I wonder where my mind and body might connect more deeply when there is less distraction. I can’t wait to really wander, remember boredom, and get lost. Who knows what I’ll encounter?
I’ll also be making my way through @revlizzie.bsky.social’s new devotional: God Didn’t Make Us to Hate Us: 40 Devotions to Liberate your Faith from Fear and Reconnect with Joy! Are you reading it, too? Let’s talk about it!

I still want to know what’s happening in your life! Let’s stay connected via texts, old fashioned phone calls, and sharing a meal together.
In this season of wandering through the wilderness of Lent, I am deepening that purge by intentionally stepping away from social media. I may pop in from time to time, esp for work. But I am paying attention to where my attention goes, and too much of it feeds these algorithms of consumption.
Since November, I have sought to build more in-person, local community. It has been a season to prune what does not and will not serve me in these times of chaos.
And what is it that we do with that space in between? When we are fleshy, strong and soft, when there is a tangible physicality to our being, when we are embodied, what will we do?
May your Ash Wednesday feel holy and gritty. May you feel that dirt under your nails, that real substance that reminds us that we come from the earth.
From dust you came, to dust you shall return.
Yayyyyyyy!!! They’re so beautiful!!! 🥹😍🥰
Top choice: Okiro
Second choice: Bento
It’s possible I associate your brand with OG Twitter branding (hence Bento), but the colorful options of Okiro give me good BRC energy and vibes.
I am so fascinated by the messages of these Super Bowl commercials. So much anti-DEI but so much representation and messages of compassion.
Maybe something about the country still being divided? Or the current administration’s efforts don’t actually represent the values of people in this country.
Good God. What is happening?!
Prayers for everyone impacted by both plane crashes at #DCA and #Philadelphia this week. May God be with their souls and protect everyone in the immediate area, especially the first responders.
DEI did not cause a plane crash. This is infuriatingly ableist and racist garbage. In our greatest moment of need, we are once again abandoned by the very people meant to lead.
People with disabilities are not the problem here.
People with disabilities must not become the scapegoat.
Presidents and all leaders must take responsibility for those under their care and the ways their actions impact them.
As Bishop Budde reminded us, have mercy on those who are scared.
