Forgiveness and the Apocalypse

Hey it’s the last Friday of June! That means it’s time to post a little bit of optimism to close out the crazy month we’ve had. I don’t know about you guys, but I need something positive to read right now. The news has been non-stop depressing, and once again I’m happy to be part of the “We Are The World Blogfest” – cause the world needs to be a little bit more bright and cheery.

This month I’m focusing on an inspirational woman who has had a heck of a life to lead, Nadia Bolz-Weber. She’s a pastor who started her own church, the “House for all Sinners and Saints”. One third of her church is part of the LGBT community, and she also has a “Minister of Fabulousness”, Stuart, who is a drag queen. On top of how amazing this church already sounds, her church accepts everyone. She doesn’t care what happened in your past, or even whether you are a believer in faith.

She has had several videos in the Maker series focused on faith, and as someone who attended at least 3 different religious churches growing up, her take on faith is both fascinating and empowering.

 

 

Honestly listening to her talk about these things is a breath of fresh air to me. How about you? Do you connect with the messages here, or reject them?

    • I agree! If you get the chance to watch them, they are very powerful. They’re only a few minutes long, but dang, she makes some excellent commentary. I would attend her church if I lived closer!

  1. I like that she is progressive and her church is open for LGBT people, people with addictions, compulsions and depression, and even nonbelievers.Thanks for sharing this story!
