TWIR 8.30.20 Be a Redwood

Moses is tending his flock in Midian when the God of his ancestors shows up in the form of a bush that is blazing yet not consumed, asking him to lead his people to freedom. Like the redwoods in California that are scorched but still standing, what can we learn from this image of God that can strengthen our commitment to fight for racial justice even - and especially - when sh*t hit gets real? In this next episode in our #JourneysToFreedom series, Rev. Margaret Ernst explores toughness and resilience for white folks in the work to end racism.
