In this timely teaching from the Adulting in Faith series, Pastor Leah addresses how we can mature in our faith while living through escalating violence and division. Drawing on Rene Girard’s theories of mimetic desire and scapegoating, she explores how cycles of rivalry and blame still shape our world today. Through scripture and story, Leah calls us to follow Jesus’ example of clarity, courage, and compassion as we resist violence and stand with the vulnerable.
