Acts 15 and the Liberation of the Body: A Gospel for the Excluded
Opening – Recognition: The Misread That Became a Weapon For centuries, the church has swung a verse like a hammer at the LGBTQ+ community — a text stripped from its time, its tongue, and its tenderness.

When the Poor Rise, the Altars Fall
Revolution doesn’t start in a think tank — it starts in a grocery line when the card runs dry. It starts in a break room where somebody whispers I can’t do this anymore.

The Church Forgot Its Base
The working class once formed the living backbone of the church — farmers, laborers, single mothers, service workers, the people who built and maintained the world.
