I Can’t Un-Know

On Sunday a small group from our IJM Freedom Tour team visited the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial. The experience of this tour has changed me in one significant way: I now know about the horrors of violent oppression.

We Made It!

This past week has been one of the most intense weeks I’ve experienced. We’ve literally had NO time to catch our breath, and certainly no time to reflect and write. There’s a lot I want to share. For now, it’s another late night, and an early wake-up call awaits. But I want to share some […]

A Century

I like some parts of the Bible more than others. I like the feel-good stories about joy and forgiveness and healing. I like reading about love and forgiveness and unconditional grace. Other parts—it’s not that I ignore them, but they don’t create the same warm-fuzzy feelings. Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. […]

Free

Happy Monday! Only one choice for today’s word-of-the-week… FREE On Saturday our IJM Freedom Tour team toured the National Underground Railway Freedom Center. Frankly, it’s a difficult experience to describe. Exhibits trace the history of slavery and link to the modern-day issues we’re riding to end. We learned a lot we didn’t know about America’s slavery […]
