Love this. I have moments of overwhelming anger and despair regarding the amount of suffering and poverty we are confronted with daily. Today, after driving home from time
spent with someone in the township, I told my daughter, “sometimes all this makes me so angry.” And I didn’t have much more to say. I needed this reminder today - one not of exaggerated religious jargon but of solid theology. Thanks.
"The Beatitudes are not virtues to acquire. Rather, they are descriptions of the kind of people that God is placing at the center of his Kingdom." beautiful. every time we get into the "backwards kingdom" aspect of how Jesus reigns, something within me settles and is deeply comforted. things won't always be like this. and there is a King unlike all the ones we've seen 😭

Thanks, Tiffany. At the end of the day, this is what theology is for, at least why I do theology. Theology is in the service of the people of God.
