Living Authentically as Worship | Monday Invocation
“Let your authenticity be an act of resistance. Resistance against the systems, the voices that try to convince you that you are anything less than wonderfully made, resistance against the world that asks you to shrink, resistance that proclaims with every step you take that God designed you with intention and purpose, and God doesn’t make mistakes. Be an angelic troublemaker. Show the world what it means to live as God’s queer masterpiece.”
