Dispatches from the Uprising
The Empire tried to squash the Jesus Way of liberating love by killing him, and failed… miserably. Because life rose up. People, empowered by the Spirit of God, rose up. To proclaim and LIVE liberation and revolution and powerful insurrections of love together. Led – always – by women of color. Pastor Megan shares under-told stories of prophet-sisters leading uprisings of life from this world’s tombs.
