Galatians 2025: Part 10 - THE FINÁLE
How do you inherit "the Kingdom of God"? What even IS "the Kingdom of God"? What are the things that keep us from grace or allow us to live a full life of showing grace to others? Paul clearly describes characteristics for us to follow in order for people to know that we're following the example and teachings of Jesus. He also encourages RESTORATION! Who would have thought that he'd encourage us to promote building relationships and openness to the fact that people can change! You are loved and please help each other this week.

"I wish they would castrate themselves". Paul speaks about the contradictions that come together in grace in extreme terms! When we lack compassion, it's even more difficult to com to a place where we can show grace to others. "Justice has to have a bit of love in it, or it becomes cruelty". This is a great talk from Galatians 15 that includes one of the most important reminders "you shall love your neighbor as yourself". Hope you all have a great week. You are loved.

Some people think that grace and faith and forgiveness isn't enough. Paul warns about rebuilding the old laws and putting limitations on receiving these gifts. These "sacred cows" are a waste when we're looking for freedom. Hope you enjoy the latest edition of the Galatians series. We appreciate your support.

It might feel like a broken record but Love and Grace are at the core of where Revolution comes from. The risk is that we think that we hear the message and don't need any reminders. A lot of times it takes seeing the need ourselves in order to take action.
It's the 3rd week reading Galatians 3:28 (hence the broken record) but there was more to explore. Even when we feel like we're divided, we don't have to let our identity (politics, "jew or gentile") allow us to forget that we are ALL ONE.
Please continue to support Revolution through the links below and reach out to share your stories. We love to hear from you!

Jay covers the last part of Galatians 3 this week. It's all about inclusion! Exploring what would happen if our individual identities had no hierarchy over another. It takes a lot of courage to point our inequality, not just right in front of us with also with people that we don't have contact with. Are we really ready to be uncomfortable to reach the "promise land" without becoming bitter about the struggle that is involved? Can we be the creative minority to win the understanding of others without humiliation?
Please reach out and support Revolution's work. It is greatly appreciated. You are all loved.

It's the next installment if the Galatians series and Jay end with a reminder that we're all one and we all deserve justice and grace. The more that we see each other as one people, the easier it is to extend those attributes to others.
If you are able, please support Revolution this month. It's helps this work continue and it is greatly appreciated!

A lot of what we experience is complicated. Jay's talk from today is not one of them. It's unacceptable to accept atrocities because it's either convenient or too distant to feel real. It's beautiful that Dr. King provided us a road map long ago that is still applicable today. Let this talk sink in and consider how we can all work towards peace for all our brothers and sisters.

Over many years, grace has been limited, manipulated, conditioned and used but that doesn't mean that it has changed! Jay covers how we can break the spell and return to the beauty of what grace was intended to be in the 5th installment of the Galatians series.

Jay discusses why empathy is the basis of Christianity. Jesus was clear in Luke 10, using the Samaritan who, instead of asking "What would happen to me if I stopped?", asked "What would happen to this person if I don't stop?".
In a current climate that coins phrases such as "toxic empathy" it's difficult to contextualize that compassion to the "least of these" has become counter culture.
The hope is that we can love each other enough to show active compassion to meet the needs of our communities.

Unfortunately, Jay is under the weather with the flu this week, so we have a short, but very important talk. This is a great time to consider our intentions and our desire to not only advocate for others but for those that need freedom from the being an oppressor. I am sure that many of us know someone that has had a change of heart and now feels differently about someone else. We have to consider that loving others is a calling to put in the work to help with our collective growth. This time is about coming together and that should continue to be our intention.

It’s hard to find a lot of optimism right now.
Compassion and mercy should always be bi-partisan. If you believe in grace and mercy, asking a leader to show mercy is something that should always be acceptable to ask for.
When we are more divided than we have ever been, radical acceptance of where we are currently and where others are as well, will help us find common ground and, ultimately, the change we all hope for.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. saw the need for us to come together and that violence was never an option. John Hume stated that “when people are divided, then only solution is agreement”. Continuing in Galatians follows Paul’s work in bringing a divided city together. It might take years, but it’s worth it. It might take a radical movement of reaching out to people that we might disagree with in order to find ways that we can agree.

Is everyone welcome? When you turn away from grace too soon, it doesn’t have time to be inclusive. Jay was very excited about this message from Galatians 2. Paul takes a huge step towards inclusion. You might say he was a Super Friend to speak the truth to the disciples and to advocate for others.
When Paul met with James, John and Peter in Jerusalem he reveals his message of reaching the Galatians. This was a transmutation away from the insular religious tradition to suggest that the entirety of humanity should be able to be included and receive the gospel.
The church of Jerusalem, through this message, became the most diverse community in the early church. Sound familiar? There’s no need to be afraid of inclusion.
This was a big moment for Paul speaking to the people in Jerusalem and we often take it for granted that he was reaching out to the Gentiles (everyone). Paul was such a big part of making the first church more inclusive. He was a champion for inclusion. That inclusion was the gospel and Paul was always trying to make sure that people lived the gospel and didn’t forget that we’re all one.

A lot of this talk was about figuring out how we treat the disease rather than constantly fighting just the symptoms. Paul was able to take critique and often just ignore it and able to stand in his truth. We can lear to not be distracted by and Balme the individual but take it a deeper look at the system to find out what the root cause of an issue is.
How does Grace fit into all how we treat people? The evolution of Grace in our own lives and the universal acceptance of grace teaches us to universally accept it for all people.

The perfect way to start off a new year is to revisit Galatians! Jay's talk covers a lot of ground in Galatians 1 and discusses how the writings of Paul can be practically applied in the current times.
The hope is that this message can be used to encourage all of us to argue well, have empathy towards each other and bridge the gap that has been forming between us all.
This talk was given on January 6, 2025 from Seattle, Washington.

A happy and merry Christmas from everyone here at Revolution. Jay did a special Christmas Day talk for everyone, and we think it will perk you up more than salt in your coffee! Today Jay talks about the Christmas Spirit…but probably not in the way you’re thinking. He focuses on trying to find a way for us to live the Christmas Spirit all year long—but we don’t mean decking halls and sleigh rides, we’re talking about the spirit of kindness that we almost all unify with for one day of the year. But if it can be done one day, it can be done all days! We just have to get there. Today Jay also discusses the idea of echo chambers. It’s easy for us to see other’s echo chambers and judge them while ignoring our own, but the truth is no one is exempt from echo chambers, we all have them and we’re all part of them—they just look different. But the real paradox and conundrum we face is that even though no one is spared from being a part of an echo chamber…Christianity shouldn’t actually be one…but it is. Jay looks at the letters of Peter and James today in discussing how we can hopefully swap out our personal echo chambers, and instead focus on the humanity of everyone. Because if we focus on that then maybe we can find a path to expand our ‘echo chamber’ rather than be limited by it. If we see ourselves in each other, it makes it easier for us to be kind and gentle to all, and to treat everyone with respect. Unifying together is how we survive! By focusing more on our commonalities than on our differences. And in doing that, we learn how to become “curious, instead of furious” (thanks for great idea, Linda!)

We’re all tired, and we’re all frustrated—and that shared sentiment can be heard in this talk. Sometimes it all feels like it’s too much. Too much hate. Too much anger. Everything we do seems to come at the expense of someone else, it’s maddening. Today Jay discusses the idea of love and power. Are love and power polar opposites? Can the two ever share a same space? Do churches today speak truth to power? Can we unite in diversity? Because it often feels like the powers that be fear bringing people together. Can we all work together for justice with power that has love in it and embraces diversity? Is this possible or is it just a utopian daydream? God is love. And God without love is no God at all. And power without love is power with no God at all. It’s all starting to be too much. Something has to give! How much more divided can we be, how much more divided can politicians make us? Billionaires make us? It makes us all want to scream. But luckily if it makes us all want to scream, than that means we’re all united in this frustration—and finding any way that we’re all united can be a pretty strong starting point to finding our way to this utopian dream.
