Verse of the day

The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.
Psalm 9:9-10

Voice of the day

LGBTQ+ Christian youth face particular challenges because bad theology runs rampant in many of our churches. It’s nearly impossible for youth to distinguish between ‘your sexual orientation is bad’ and ‘you are bad.’”

Matthias Roberts, “’It Breaks the Heart of God’ Say Faith Leaders on LGBTQ Youth Suicide Rates”

Prayer of the day

Lord, forgive us for letting harmful theology exist for so long in our churches. Transform these spaces to be ones that affirm and seek life for those who have been hurt the most.
