That Kathleen L. Maher, she’s at it again. Brilliant. Witty. Multi-talented. Humble. Your basic younger sister nightmare.

And you’re going to love them both- the […]

Free For One, Free For All

Freedom. It’s a good thing. A beautiful thing, even. We were meant for it. Born for it, even. . . . Sing it Andy. A human right, I think is what they call it. And rightly so. And like all rights, sometimes, we need reminders of our need to preserve them. And when the victories […]

PODCAST- How to have a successful, scary conversation… with Pastor Stephon Henderson

Conversation??? What is that? You mean that thing where you have to engage with people??? Like, people who might think differently than you do? Maybe even disagree with… vehemently?

Don’t you just love a good old fashioned underdog story? Until that underdog, of course, is you. That’s a DIFFERENT story altogether. Let’s face it.

PODCAST: Hope in the Madness, Part 2 – Angriness

Nobody likes angry people. You know it. I know it. David Banner knows it. But sometimes we just can’t avoid them. Or avoid it. The anger is real.
