Happy First Day
This morning a new semester gets underway. For some of you, it will be at a new school as a first-year or transfer student. Some of you might be returning after some time off or starting a graduate degree. Some are returning to see old friends and make new friends. I am sure all of […]

A Message in Support of our Transgender, Non-Binary, and Gender Non-Conforming Neighbors
Earlier this week, the Young Americans for Freedom at UNCG shared a meme that should rightly be referred to as hate speech targeting transgender and non-binary members of our community. The post itself, and the comments made by students involved in the organization, are factually errant and show a clear lack of understanding of the […]
My Year at the SOP
When I was asked to write this post, I had no idea what to write. How can I describe the Spartan Open Pantry and everything that it means to me? That seems like an impossible task, but I will do my best. I think the only true way to describe the Spartan Open Pantry is […]
The Roots of Our Faith
Reclaim our past; renew our present There is an old Polish saying, “you are never truly lost until you do not know where you have been.” The challenges over the past few years have left many asking self-reflective questions about our faith.

Comfort, Hope and Justice
The recent violence in Atlanta has again placed a bright light on the issues of pervasive racism and misogyny in our country. Eight more lives were taken, and countless more were twisted and transformed. Wesley-Luther stands with the Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander communities. Over the past year, hate crimes and hate incidents against […]

The voice was rare in those days.
1 Samuel 3:1 “Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord under Eli. The word of the Lord was rare in those days; visions were not widespread.” When Samuel heard his call from the Lord, it was difficult to recognize because the followers of God had forgotten what it meant to be his people. […]
The Gun God
A great deal of conversation has been had around people’s use of “thoughts and prayers” as a response to tragedies like the horrific school shootings that have staggered our country over the past few years. As a person of faith, I don’t think there is anything wrong with sincere thoughts and prayers in response to […]
