Can This Be The Christ?

Guest speaker Sylvia invites us to wrestle with one of the most difficult and often overlooked stories in scripture: the unnamed concubine in Judges 19. Through her story of suffering and betrayal, Sylvia asks what it means to see Christ in unexpected places, even among the most marginalized and dehumanized. This teaching challenges us to confront violence, resist dehumanization, and embody compassion, courage, and justice in our own lives.

The Idol Behind Patriarchy

While presumably most folks attending a church pastored by a woman are not interested in upholding patriarchy (the oppression of women as a group), are we aware of what lies behind this ancient system of oppression? In this teaching, Leah explores how the way our cultures have historically thought about masculine and feminine, feeds patriarchy and shapes our understanding of many facets of reality, including God.
