The MICAH Project invites you to get into "Good Trouble" during Lent by reflecting on the words of the the late Representative John Lewis. We offer one blog post for each of the five weeks of Lent to encourage you to think about how we might get into the "Good Trouble" that furthers our spiritual formation and contributes to racial healing.
Each week’s post contains: (1) a quotation from John Lewis, (2) prayer or scripture relating to the quotation, (3) reflections or action items, and (4) a link to a video or website relating to the quotation.
Join us for Week Two:
Quotation
“When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have a moral obligation to say something, to do something. Stand up, speak up, speak out! No matter what part of the United States or what part of the world you come from you have to save our democratic ideas and create a society at peace with itself.”
John Lewis, Commencement Speech, Boston University, 2018.
Scripture
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9
