...[The writer of Hebrews] asserts that it is communal support that shores up personal endurance and therefore keeps the fears of departing from God from materializing. In fact, he bases his confidence that they have not fallen away from God in their communal actions, in how they have taken care of one another. -- Amy Peeler, RevExp 115(1): 46

Mary's Magnificat was not spoken in the halls of political or religious power, but by an ordinary woman in an ordinary place. When we remember Mary rightly, and not in the way that best serves men by picturing her as meek, mild, submissive, and subservient, she provides a model and embodiment of the progression from fear to solidarity to bold proclamation that all women can identify with and be empowered by. Mary's story is our story. Alongside Mary, we can accept God's calling despite our fear, empower and be empowered by other women, and unleash truth that strikes fear into the hearts of the powerful. -- Natalie Webb, RevExp 115(1): 103.

"...when people act out of fear, they behave badly. But when we choose to be overcome by the powerful and prophetic mandate of our faith, then we can change the world for the better." -- Amy Butler, RevExp 115(1): 93.

We need to change how we gather as human beings, seeing the human being in each and every one who names her suffering. We need to make decisions in different ways, more attentive to each voice, slower in pace, intentional and self-reflective in voice, and curious about the other with compassion for his suffering. We need to become vulnerable to our own deepest Self, awakening to the called passion within and the redemptive stories we are too afraid to tell.
-- Lisa M. Hess RevExp 115 (2018): 84

“. . . the most important thing for faith communities is to take on the task of careful and just listening.”
Hans S. Reinders, RevExp 113 (2016): 197.

“Rather than separating us from God, the expression of anger and despair can strengthen our spirituality by peeling away layers of human pretension that have for too long separated us from our true selves and from God.”
Thomas H. Graves, RevExp (113): 191.
