TWIR 6.14.20 We Are Unstoppable! Another World is Possible!

Abraham and Sarah laughed at God's vision and promise of new life. Before we write them off, we are called to remember how white Christians - yes, liberal/progressive ones - have "laughed" at the idea that chattel slavery could be abolished, that segregation could be ended by militant nonviolent civil disobedience, and more. Are we laughing at the idea of defunding, dismantling, and abolishing the police now? Or do we have faith, commitment, and strength enough to make real the "impossible" dreams of God again? In this episode, Rev. Seth Wispelwey takes us into a place of rest and challenge through where we locate ourselves in this seismic living moment in history. Oh, and defund, dismantle, and abolish the police. Transcript can be found here: https://www.showingupforracialjustice.org/the-word-is-resistance.html
