Description

As we sit in the reality of the cost of love, of the God who submitted  His own body to the brutality of a criminal’s death on a cross in order to become bread and wine for all who are hungry and thirsty, let us prayerfully seek how we can better embody this extreme generosity of God towards our families, our neighbors, and our world.

Momma Theologians Prayerful/Practical Takeaways

1. Read Proverbs 18:24, and ask God to illuminate how Jesus might be inviting you into a deeper understanding of how he is the “friend who sticks closer than a brother.” How does this friendship affect how we lead our children?
2. Ask God to bring to mind (or do an old fashioned google search) any organizations/marginalized people groups in your area that you can learn more about and perhaps volunteer with an organization that serves this specific population.
3. Spend some time asking God to show you a few practical ways you can model the kind of generosity that builds bridges this week.
