When we think about injustice, it involves the oppressed and the oppressor; interestingly enough, both people are loved by God and created with glory and honor. How do we both confront the indignity of injustice while preserving the dignity that God created in the human being that we're confronting? In this week's devotional, Pastoral resident Ashley Edelen helps us understand the depths of dignity. Offering dignity to the oppressor and preserving the oppressed's dignity is hard to hear and live out.

What if we could find God's presence wherever we are? In this week's devotional, pastoral resident Rae Harris talks about sacred spaces and how they rarely look how we think they should. Because the reality is, accessing God's presence in everyday things may be easier than we think.
In this cultural moment, staying united is needed more so than ever; however, what is true unity, and how do we obtain it? Hint, true unity requires walking through conflict to come out on the other side with unity.
