Reflection Questions:
Jacqui speaks about the importance of joy in our work and life, as the counterpoint to the movement we’re pushing back against. Have you found it difficult to feel joy lately and what might you do to reclaim some lightness so that you are less likely to be overwhelmed?
Jacqui echoes an important part of the series, which is the encouragement that we often do know what to do and we simply need to stay committed to doing it. What can you do today to keep up the good work of your life, even in a way that may not feel newsworthy? What next good thing can you do?
As you hear Jacqui talk about the community at Middle Church and the importance of being a part of a network of justice and love, do you have access to such community, whether in person or online, whether spiritual or not? If so, how can you participate more fully? If not, what could you do to find or build that community?
