Resist Privilege


Peace, security, and hope comes when we practice connection; when we resist the sinful and broken illusion that we are separate from, better than, or entitled to more than another. When we convince ourselves that the highest value is to guard our own comfort, even at the expense of another, we begin to surrender our humanity. When we convince ourselves that certain collateral damage is acceptable because it's easier than taking a stand, we begin to surrender our faith. Resist the illusion of privilege. Listen to voices that are different than yours. Practice connection. We were created for communion. Let's be who we were created to be.
