🙏 "Jesus is saying that the ones who are being rejected, those are the very ones that can sweep the house. They are the people that can transplant the heart of this nation."

In this clip from Redirect 250 on May 17, Rev. Barber reflects on those who have been rejected, left out, and pushed aside by unjust systems. He reminds us that Jesus continually calls those on the margins to help transform our communities and our nation through faith, justice, and collective action.

📢 New on the RLC blog!

Author and Pastor, Bob Ekblad says, "On June 6th I was horrified to hear US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s anti-immigrant tirade from the shores of France. This is a highly disturbing alert to the dangers the world faces from America’s Pharaonic ideologues."

In the post, he contrasts historical events with current events and encourages us to heed the warnings and disassociate ourselves from today’s Pharaohs.

📢 New on the RLC blog

"When most readers encounter the Book of Revelation, they do one of two things. They either treat it as a coded prediction of contemporary events, a kind of encrypted newspaper from heaven, or they set it aside entirely as too strange and violent for serious reflection. Both responses miss what the text is actually doing. John of Patmos was not writing a puzzle to be decoded by people two millennia after his death. He was writing pastoral theology for people crushed by the most powerful political machine the ancient world had ever produced."

🙏 "Love requires vulnerability. It requires humility. And it requires us to actually see people as people."

In this clip from Redirect 250 on May 17, organized as a faithful response to the growing influence of Christian Nationalism, Malynda Hale reflects on the difference between faith rooted in love and faith used to pursue power. Her message challenges us to consider whether our beliefs draw us closer to our neighbors or further apart.
