“If Jesus actually calls us to be peacemakers, what does that look like, and how does that look in our everyday lives?”
“If I really care about your belovedness, I’m going to invite you into this work and listen to you and be patient with you and love you. But if you care about my belovedness, then you’re going to understand that there are systems that are continually oppressing me, like police brutality or school systems. You’re going to do what you can to change those systems so that I can move through this world as a beloved.”
“Part of my nonviolent peacemaking practices is to hold onto the humanity of people.”
“Do some intentional work of owning and acknowledging your belovedness…oftentimes we don’t see the humanity of others because we’ve neglected the humanity of ourselves.”
“Belovedness can be the great equalizer that we need in this world.”
