Hello LSH Community! Over the past week 2,000 of y Hello LSH Community! Over the past week 2,000 of you decided to click and join the stream of movement flowing through this corner of the Insta-sphere. Thank you! I honor you and welcome you. I’d like to introduce myself and let you know what you can expect on Freedom Road.

Freedom Road exists at the intersections of faith, race, gender, economic and environmental justice. The LSH community, along with @FreedomRoad.us, believes that story has the power to both keep us apart and to bring us together, so our work bridges the gap between our stories. We believe in the inherent dignity of all, so we tolerate no inequity—none. We are people of faith, people trying to understand faith, and people burned by faith all leaning in, because our souls sense that something more is possible.

I met Jesus in the context of white evangelical faith, the same year the Moral Majority was founded. Yet, I’ve spent the last 30 years on pilgrimage through lands where evil has reared its head in our world and people of faith have confronted it. From LA ’92, Ferguson and Baltimore to Charlottesville, South Africa, Brazil, Ireland and Australia, I’ve found one common denominator: Evil manifests in the form of systems, structures, laws and policies that secure the flourishing of some, while pushing the faces of others into the ground.

I have 30 years of anti-racism training experience and 15 years of experience as a faith-community organizer first in NYC, then in DC with @sojogram . 

In 2017, I launched @FreedomRoad.us. We consult, coach, train, develop forums and design transformational pilgrimage experiences. In 2020, we launched the Freedom Road Institute for Leadership and Justice to equip individuals to build a better world.

Throughout the week, we will ask better questions. I will share resources. We will come together for our #kitchentableconvo every Friday, 7pm ET. And my approach will de-center white worldview and sensibilities. My first concern is not white people’s comfort. My first concern is what is just—what does physically brown, politically black Jesus have to say to us about our world today?

Welcome to the journey! #lshcommunity
At #TheAllyTour we are elated that two of our conv At #TheAllyTour we are elated that two of our conversation partners have been chosen to offer prayers for tomorrow’s Inaugural Interfaith Prayer Service!!!

And Thank you, @sarcasticlutheran @kirstenpowers @saltermcneil and @bluegrassred for every single way you put your hands to the plow in 2020 to make THIS day happen!!

On the day before we enter the #nextamerica, we cr On the day before we enter the #nextamerica, we crossed this horrific threshold. This poem is for the 400,000. 

400,000
by @lisasharper 

400,000 souls 
who lived 
and breathed 
and dreamed 
and longed for peace 
and worked for peace 
and struggled with their own brokenness 
and played
and cried
and were loved
and loved...

They were with us
One year ago. 
400,000 images of God. 

We love you. 
We acknowledge you.
We thank you.

You passed from our writhing world—unprepared. No goodbye. No “affairs in order”. 

So, today at 5:30pm ET we will all stop. 
We will face you. 
We will see you. 
We will weep with you. 
And we will release you
Into the next phase of life;
Shrouded behind the veil called death. 

But you are not dead. 
Your soul does not die.
You live in our memories;
In what you taught us
In how you touched us.

Walk forward, dear ones
Be received by Love
S/he is waiting for you.
