He is passionate about environmental care and healthy food sources, dedicated to empowering the next generation, committed to helping preserve the Meskwaki language, and supporting other Indigenous artists.
Our belief in the resurrection has consequences and implications for us as followers of Jesus. What does it mean for us, as Easter people, to bear witness to the way of Jesus’ love and the power of the resurrection in light of our legacies of white supremacy and colonialism, increasing discrimination against LGBTQIA people, and the devastation of our planet? How do we embody liberation?
During our worship this Eastertide, following our scripture readings, we will be hearing from community and faith leaders of color in our community about how their faith informs their work for justice and ways we might be accomplices in that work of living into libration.
