RHM Update: March 20, 2023

We Need Your Support

The cost of everything is on the rise and with that the cost of doing ministry is becoming more expensive, too.

To help Renewed Heart Ministries meet these rising costs, we are asking each of you to consider making a special one time donation to Renewed Heart Ministries, this month.

You get to decide what voices are heard in our faith communities. Your support enables us to be a life-giving, healing light and continue to be a voice for desperately needed change. Renewed Heart Ministries is a ministry on the margins that prioritizes the needs of marginalized people, especially those who have been the recipients of misinformed, faith-based harm.

The work of helping people find ways to heal and live out their faith through love, compassion, and justice are needed now more than ever.

You can make your one time give online by going to www.renewedheartministries.com and click “Donate.”

Or if you prefer to make your donation by mail, you can do so by mailing it to:

Renewed Heart Ministries

PO Box 1211

Lewisburg, WV 24901

Together we will continue being a source of healing, light, life, and change.

Thank you in advance for your support.

New Episode of Just Talking

New Episode of “Just Talking” Now Online!

Season 1; Episode 6. John 9.1-41. Lectionary A, Lent Week 4

Each week, we’ll be talking about the gospel lectionary reading for the upcoming weekend. We’ll be talking about each reading in the context of love, inclusion, and societal justice. Our hope is that our talking will be just talking (as in justice) and that during our brief conversations each week you’ll be inspired to also do more than just talking.

If you teach from the lectionary each week, or if you’re just looking for some thoughts on the Jesus story from a more progressive perspective within the context of social justice, check it out, you might like it.

You can find the latest show on YouTube at https://youtu.be/8ir6Ew5bhDw

John Chapter 9 and Our Need To Tell A Better Story (Part 1 of 3)

In John Chapter 9, some things are different from later Gnosticism, and there are many things in common.

John Chapter 9 and Our Need To Tell A Better Story (Part 2 of 3)

This is important because of the atrocities by Christians against the Jewish community that can be traced back to stories like these.

John Chapter 9 and Our Need To Tell A Better Story (Part 3 of 3)

All in all, John chapter 9 is a reminder to me that today, we need to tell the Jesus story in better ways than this chapter does.
