What are your ideas of God?   Religion? Do they lead you to a place of peace, wholeness, and love? Or do they lead you to a place feeling judged, isolated, and/or afraid? During this series we will investigate how scripture influences faith in ways that bring hope and healing rather than judgment, isolation, and fear. We will deconstruct white Westernized understandings of God, Jesus, and scripture while hopefully providing you with a pathway to construct a faith journey for yourself that will be life-giving.  All ideas and questions are welcome.
