a midnight prayer because I was too worried to sleep God, Be with us, with me in this moment.

What are you reading this summer? I’m reading this in preparation for our @cofchrist-iwest.bsky.social Book Club this fall. Sitting on my porch drinking my coffee reading a book before work is one of the best things in the whole world.

An important history lesson from the Grandmother of Juneteenth herself.

So pretty!!!

This weekend's little joys: fresh raspberries and finding a thrifted shirt that perfectly matches my earnings.

Did you catch my reference to our brief conversation at the device booth at conference? I've been thinking about that quick sentence about the usefulness of the trinity ever since.

Pride posts and a promise to ‘push back’ cause fallout, in this week’s Inside Voices “Pride is what we celebrate — not because it’s trendy or political, but because we made it,” one Utahn said. “We’re the kids who grew up, despite the hate, the fear and the silence. And now we’re living full, beautiful lives.”

Awesome! Thank you!

If approved at our September conference, I will be the mission center president and financial officer for the Inland West Mission Center, covering congregations in Montana, Idaho, Utah, and Eastern Washington. 😊

While we share 14 years of history, and common origin, our paths diverged over 175 years ago.

We’re a separate denomination with our own theology and mission centered in Christ, focused on peace and justice.

As I prepare for my new role starting in October, there has been sone media interest.

I just want to say, for the record that Community of Christ is not an offshoot, branch, or break off of the LDS Church. :)

My friends Carrie and Shannon were ordained to the second highest body of our church tonight. Ugh. My heart is so happy. I love how much we respect women in ministry. These two are ardent supporters of LGBTQ+ rights and Carrie has a trans son. I love them both to pieces.

Another day of @cofchristofficial.bsky.social 2025 World Conference! We started by singing Happy Birthday to our new prophet-president Stassi Cramm. 🎂 So glad to be part of a church that embraces joy and humor in the midst of serious conversations and debate.

‘God calls whom God calls’: Church that traces back to Joseph Smith ordains its first female prophet-president Stassi D. Cramm was ordained the prophet-president of Community of Christ (formerly known as the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints), the first woman to lead the faith in its 165-year history.

This week of church legislative meetings, worship services, dinners with friends, and trying to squeeze in work in between is brought to you by Celsius and stickers.

We’re here but tired. @mphillips801.bsky.social

At least it’s green 🤷‍♀️

Jesus said he came to bring good news to the poor.

Those in power who are claiming they want a “Christian nation” are only bringing good news to the rich and powerful while creating cruel conditions for the poor.

They want “Christianity” without the inconvenience of Christ.

😂 see here’s a game that could unite Latter-day Saints of all stripes, including us who are no longer members.

I think I found my next children’s book purchase…

Gorgeous hike today at Mueller Park Trail with friends.
