Nancy McDonald Ladd, author of After the Good News: Progressive Faith Beyond Optimism, has created a list of discussion questions as a resource for any small group looking to engage with the ideas in her book. That resource is available here: https://bit.ly/2Ycbrr5

Progressive faith is at a crossroads. Liberal pulpits ring with grand sermons about the arc that bends toward justice, and about progress “onward and upward forever.” Meanwhile, the people in the pews struggle to attend to the suffering of their souls and the tragic aspects of life. In this engaging polemic, using stories and metaphor, Nancy McDonald Ladd issues a call for change.

With humor and humanity, Ladd calls religious progressives to greater authenticity and truth-telling rather than mere optimism. She charts a course forward that includes reclaiming rituals of atonement and lament, and becoming more vulnerable and accountable in our relationships. She shows how, together, we might build a necessary and greater resilience among ourselves and for the generations to come.

If you're looking to discuss After the Good News in a group online, it is the May group read for Justice and Spirit: The Unitarian Universalist Book Club on Goodreads. You can join here: http://bit.ly/1QcwuNW

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

These are my workmates from different nations, but more than that, they are dear friends who are close to my heart. Every Monday, we walk together in faith—praying and studying the Word of God as one.

Life isn't always easy. We face tough situations—prayers that seem to remain unanswered, struggles that cannot be easily brushed off, or circumstances that refuse to change. Yet, God is awesome. As we navigate these trials, we do so side by side in prayer. We have been witnesses to prayers being answered and even the most difficult situations shifting.

These people are a constant reminder of my purpose. They are the reason I continue to walk with God, even through seasons of pain, frustration, and confusion. As we share our lives together, I know we will see even more miracles, more transformed lives, and more victories over our struggles as we continue to obey Him.
