New from @worldvisionusa's "May We Be One" course. Recap of last month's session, and then this video from Claiborne/Campolo's "Red Letter Christians" (in its entirety, snipped for time here):

"'Is that really my responsibility?' And 'can I take all of this on?' And 'how can I do this while I'm also pastoring locally...raising children?' We find ourselves asking similar questions to justify ourselves." @sandravanpostal on the teacher of the law + the Good Samaritan

(this clip immediately follows the end of the previous one)

"It says to 'love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, with all your strength, and yourself and your family too-' NO, it says, 'and to love your neighbor as yourself.'"

"This passage + love for neighbor invites us to ask how exactly are we giving all of who we are. Our questions, our doubts, our stubbornness, our idolatry that we want to hold on to the way that we see the world + the way that we do life. How are we letting go of those things?"

"The category of neighbor, of who to love, is not about who you live next to but those who are disenfranchised + marginalized...But yet, we designed a way out of it...we structured our cities this way...We as the church beautifully fell in line with redlining and white flight."

"And how can we ally to neighbor?...We cannot love a neighbor whose pain we refuse to name...we cannot love a neighbor for whom we refuse to act. We have to be able to see and maybe even go against the very structures that we've put into place so that we don't have to see it."

"How are we discipling those who love Jesus to love their neighbor as themselves? Not when they have time and once they've loved their family and the people that are around them, but their neighbor, those who are socially, systemically, and intentionally marginalized."
