It takes courage for living in these times. Pastor Keith invites us to take heart and inspiration from Deborah, the only female judge in the Book of Judges, a prophetess, wise advisor, and shrewd political and military leader, who trusted in the power of God. 

Inspired by the courageous Daughters of Zelophehad (Numbers 27) Pastor Keith encourages us to speak our truth, even if our voice shakes, and embody the Daughters' conviction that our traditions and practices are not fixed but ever-evolving, so that the world may be more just and merciful for all.

Inspired by the story of Adam and Eve, Pastor Keith reflects on the temptation to be like what *we think* God is like (all-powerful, all-knowing, sitting judgement, self-sufficient), and how Jesus shows us what God is really like (compassionate, healing, forgiving, relational, empathetic) and how we can live and love as God does.
