Lost weight, felt amazing at 228 lbs.
Doctor immediately: “you know you’re obese right?”
Me: 🙃 Only 28 lbs from high school weight!
Him: 😐
Me: mental karate chop
Not going to HIM for self-esteem. Still proud of my progress!
I rebuke you sir!
What does “Christian religious education” look like in ONE word?
Our professor wanted aspirational answers, but we kept it real 👇
“If we sugar coat the truth, it loses its nutritional value.”
Here are our honest, sometimes contradictory one-word takes on it. What’s your 1 word?

Is your place of worship preaching love or perpetuating hate?
If your religious community chooses exclusion over inclusion, you face a choice: conform to corrupted teachings or seek authentic spiritual community elsewhere.

In the 1930s we were rounded up, in the 50s we were rounded up, today we are criminalized yet again, Latino, Spanish speaking and hard working means my mom is a criminal, so am I, so are so many of us. How can we stand idly by? Soon it will be you.

Band-aids on wounds. Faith demands action not performance

After 31 years in education, taking a leap of faith—pursuing a Doctorate in Divinity at Pacific School of Religion! 🎓
Exploring how faith traditions cultivate “active hope” in our challenging world.

Your support truly helps!
After 31 years as an educator, I'm taking a leap of faith—literally. I've been accepted for a Doctorate in Ministry at the Pacific School of Religion, where I plan to explore how different faith traditions can cultivate "active hope.” Will you help me get there?

In the spirit of 510 day, we are looking for folks that could donate $5.10 to Homies Empowerment.
We would love to have you as a monthly sustainer.
It allows us to become less dependent on the government and on grants and be #poweredbythepeople.
