The Seven Last Words of Jesus
Hey Friends, Here are the seven last words of Jesus we discuss today. Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. Truly, I say unto you, today you will be with me in paradise. Woman, behold thy son. (Says to disciple) Behold thy mother. My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? I thirst. It is finished. Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. Big thank you to OK Factor for use of their song, Uncharted. Go grab it on Bandcamp. https://theokfactor.bandcamp.com It's Gorgeous.

Day 5: Dear White Peacemakers

Day 5: Dear White Peacemakers
Today I write about this letter I wrote on Instagram (@oshetam) Dear White Peacemakers, ⠀ ⠀ Let’s sit and have an honest heart-to-heart.⠀ ⠀ As we are stepping up and resisting the injustices of this world, will you commit to being mindful of one thing: you are opting in to an awareness of justice issues- for many people of color we've lived our whole lives navigating systemic brokenness. Brown and Black lives have been lost seeking this shalom, so approach justice efforts with some humility, please. ⠀ ⠀ If the words and works of resistance from leaders of color inspire you to speak truth to power- give credit where credit is due because their voice was the first to hold the powers accountable. You are joining in their chorus. Know your part. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ If their art moves you to create flourishing for those in need- learn the choreography of shalom by getting in step with the community from which that art was born- learn from them, listen to them, move with them- you are a student in *their* Master Class.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ If you quote a black poet, put some respect on her name by understanding the context in which she wrote those words and don’t just use them to make yourself seem more “woke”. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Because I say this with so much love and hope for our future together: we can stand united against the brokenness of this world if you, as a white person, acknowledge that the Spirit has been moving in communities of color and you're coming to this work from a place of privilege. ⠀ ⠀ You can sing songs, quote lines, and share art that was created out of hardship and never share in those peoples’ suffering. Jesus modeled a different way. One that put himself right into the place of pain for those whom he loved. ⠀ Be careful, Friends. I often worry about you. Don't play around with this social justice appropriation. It undermines our partnership, gives footholds for pride, adds salt to ancient wounds. White Peacemakers, please be on guard. Please don’t use the liberation work of people of color to support your resistance and not give them their due respect. Please model Christ-like humility when seeking justice and doing good. ⠀ ⠀ Love, ⠀ Your Black Peacemaking Sista⠀

Day 2 of 31 Days Everyday Peacemaking
Hey Sistas, Today I start the episode with a peacemaking strategy because my son missed the bus. Then, I share our Peacemaker's Pledge from my book trailer. It's the anchor of our series and what I'll refer to often. We are a sisterhood of everyday peacemakers. We believe that shalom is more than an ancient concept. It’s God's dream for the world as it should be: nothing missing, nothing broken, everything made whole. Shalom is the breadth, depth, climate, and culture of the kingdom God. And we seek to live it out in our lives in small, but important ways: - Doing laundry for a single mom - Listening to a hurting child Or spending time with an elderly neighbor We know that peacemaking happens in the ordinary. These everyday practices of peace are brilliant flickers of light that drive away the darkness. We reject the notion that peacemakers are only quiet and gentle, meek and mild. In fact, some of us are quite sassy, and some of us are quirky. While we all love Jesus, some of us snark a little too. We are women without enemies We choose to love when we’ve been hurt and forgive when we’ve been betrayed. In times like these, we will look past the pain in order to see the person. Then we will tell a better story about them. These counter-stories will change the world. We show up for those on the margins. We speak up for the oppressed. We create rest for those whose lives are in chaos. We reject violence in both word and deed. Because we are peace-makers, not simply peace-keepers! We are all broken people, navigating a broken world, so we will be kind. We throw dance parties when we’re afraid. We will choose joy as a weapon against despair. And we own our belovedness instead of striving for perfection. When we look in the mirror we see beauty—our skin, our size, our style— are God-kissed and delightful. We do all this because we belong to each other. This is is what Jesus meant when he said: “Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called children of God.”: We are family and shalom is written into our spiritual inheritance. So we will be generous with its riches as we live gently in a violent world. In remembering this sisterhood, we will begin to see God's radical peace invade every ordinary corner of our lives, every single day. So, let us be kingdom women, who tell a story of Shalom: the world can be made whole and love will overflow. Let’s be of champions of kindness, ambassadors of goodness, and heroes with humility. Let us be Shalom Sistas! Join us! Order your copy of "Shalom Sistas: Living Wholeheartedly in a Brokenhearted World" today!!!

Episode 60: The Beauty of a Bamboo Library
My guest for Shalom Sistas #60 is Marla Taviano. Marla Taviano is the author of (2006), (2007), (2008), (2009), (2011), (2012), (2013), (2014), (2014), (2015), and (2017). Her biggest passions are loving the poor, seeking justice, and building libraries. Which we talk about on the show today. Marla and I dive right in and start talking about her family’s decision to move Cambodia, how she’s trying to be intentional in not calling herself a “missionary”, but a “neighbor”, why she started an Instagram account called, , where we shares the books she’s reading written by authors of color. In the second half of the show Marla flips the tables and asks me some of her burning questions like my decision to start using the female pronoun for God (I talk about the theology of it with my friends Tim and Mariann Reardon in episode 59 of the podcast.) It was such a lovely conversation and I wish I could have talked to Marla for another hour. And of course, I would love if you would share with your friends. For links in today's episode, click here

Hey Sistas, Here are three things you need to know about today's episode. 1: I answer questions from the “Shalom Sistas” community today: Share about supper club? What do you say to women who are forced to see and interact with their abuser or their rapist during church? What do you tell a woman who has to walk up to the alter next to a man who would rape her or who beat her because they share a child in common and our current legal system and family court is so incredibly broken that they refuse to protect her? I want to know, because no one will give me an answer. How do we respond when looking back at great tragedies that were stopped by war, such as the Holocaust? Can you share some scripture that calls for nonviolence? Do I still like the snow? What do you mean when you say you are an Anabaptist? 2: We're praying for each other in the and Click the links to join and get your prayer on. 3: We have a to help pay for an editor and make sure episodes are released once a week.

Episode 52: Creating Life-giving Rhythms Not Stress-Inducing Routines
Hey Sistas, Here are three things you need to know about today's episode. 1: Jerusalem Greer and I have a much needed conversation on the difference between routines to get stuff done and rhythms that give us life. We used Matthew 11:28-30 The Message (MSG) as our guide: “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” 2: We're praying for each other in the and Click the links to join and get your prayer on. 3: We have five questions we consider to create shalom in our schedules: Is this a stress-inducing routine or a life-giving rhythm? What will bring me into a resting heartbeat? What will bring wholeness? Does this rhythm reflect who God made me to be or who I think I should be? If someone tries to challenge the decisions I make to support my rhythm, can I advocate for it If someone tries to challenge the decisions I make to support my rhythm, can I advocate for it Two Important Reminders: 1: We’re going weekly now, so make sure to leave your five star reviews so people can find the podcast every week.
