Why is it so easy to draw lines—and so hard to erase them? In the final message of the Outcasts series, Heather blends Scripture and social science to explore how deeply wired we are to divide the world into “us” and “them.” But she doesn’t stop there. With clarity and care, she invites us to imagine something better: a way of living marked by empathy, humility, and the refusal to dehumanize. From neuroscience to the words of John Lewis, Heather offers both challenge and hope—reminding us that the dream of beloved community isn’t naïve. It’s necessary.
What if you’ve misunderstood the story of Zacchaeus your whole life? Jayme reintroduces us to this so-called “wee little man”—not as a moral caution, but as someone Jesus sees, names, and invites into radical transformation. In this final message of the Outcasts series, she strips away the Sunday school filters and gets honest about sin, belonging, and the subtle ways we position ourselves above others. If you've ever used your choices to justify your worth—or questioned your place in the crowd—this is a call to drop the measuring stick and remember: we’re all invited, and we’re all being found.
What happens when the person with the most power seeks out the one with the least? Garet dives deep into the story of the Samaritan woman at the well—unpacking layers of race, gender, class, and power that still echo today. With storytelling, humor, and disarming honesty, he asks what it really means to be “othered,” and how Jesus subverts every norm to offer dignity and connection instead. If you’ve ever felt out of place, misunderstood, or overlooked, this is more than a story—it’s a challenge to see others differently and remember that no one is beyond belonging.
What does hope look like when everything feels lost? Leticia steps into the story of Hagar with raw honesty and deep empathy, holding space for one of Scripture’s most overlooked women. As she traces Hagar’s journey through abandonment, abuse, and an encounter with a God who sees her, Leticia also invites us to wrestle with power, identity, and what it means to be truly seen. It’s a message shaped by personal pain and courageous faith—and an invitation to cling to hope even in the most uncertain places. If you’re tired, hurting, or just holding on, this one is for you.
What does healing really mean—and who decides who needs it? Kicking off the Outcasts series, Josiah dives into a powerful story of a man waiting 38 years to be seen. But this isn’t just about miracles. It’s about inclusion, dignity, and the kind of healing that goes deeper than the body. With sharp wit and heartfelt honesty, Josiah challenges the way we see disability, community, and restoration. He invites us to consider how Jesus draws near—not to fix people, but to bring them close. This is a fresh lens on healing that just might change how you see everyone.
