Basta Ya!
For disembodied theologies.
For doctrine that requires us to operate in binaries, boxes or labels.
For institutions set on self preservation, rather than movements that lead to the disruption of empire, death dealing policies & war.
For church folks calling on jesus while calling everyone else anything but a child of god, hating their neighbor and inciting fear & violence.
For empty spaces not being used as respite for the unhoused or sanctuary for immigrants.
For the gatherings where we play nice and risk nothing for the gospel of jesus which is revolutionary, rebellious and rebukes Christian nationalism.
Basta ya, God is saying to us in this moment! It’s time for a revival-and not some typical church revival, we need a pentacost people power revival!
🙌🏾 Basta Ya!

Ghosts of Auschwitz whisper near.
Warnings of a path we fear.
Detention camp a thin veneer

Photos of people carrying banners and signs in stand outs and events, many of them uplifting messages of love and affirmation for our trans and non binary siblings. A swipe of blue, pink and white stripes across the middle of the graphic. Text reads "They will know us by our LOVE"
"Today, tomorrow & always the fluidity of our expression & experiences will live on. Trans & non-binary siblings are made in the image of God – period."
