Once a month, I publish a post where I encourage people to send in questions about just about anything. It can be sports related. Pop culture related. It can be about my opinions on food. We’ve covered a ton of ground! But often, I get questions about theology and the Bible. And I love those questions.
These posts are for the paying subscribers of The Son Do Move, as their generous support helps make a lot of my creative endeavors possible. However, I’m not ignorant as it pertains to the economic situations many of us are facing. I don’t want money to be the barrier to community. If you’d like to participate in these posts or take advantage of all of the other benefits of a full subscription to The Son Do Move (like accessing the full archive of posts), but a paid subscription isn’t for you right now: send a message to teamtrey05@gmail.com and we can get you plugged in.

As I type this, Mahmoud Khalil is being unjustly detained (and others almost certainly are as well). Some call him a freedom fighter. Others (who do not read) call him a terrorist. But Nelson Mandela was on terror watchlists until 2008, long after his imprisonment ended and he’d served as the elected president of the Republic of South Africa.
We continue to normalize the dehumanization of our neighbors, and not too many (at least, not enough) of our elected representatives seem in too big of a hurry to do anything meaningful about it.
This is a stark reminder that, if we are going to experience Good News and hope in this season, we will have to lean on each other.
