Equity Kingdom and our Equity/Antiracist Worlds workshops are dedicated to experiencing vision guided by God’s Kingdom and to expressing our heart and soul’s passion to build justice and defeat racism. The workshops are designed to support participants in the creation of equity community spirit. In them, we use imagination to envision how we can changeContinue reading “Equity Community Spirit”

Basing work for equity and racial justice on a spiritual foundation and on artistic expression might be considered an unusual approach, but it’s one very dear to my heart and very powerful. Though I consider myself to be a lifelong antiracist, I began to focus on racism in a much more intentional and committed wayContinue reading “Love Your Equity Family”

“Where there is no vision, the people perish . . . “ (Proverbs 29:18, KJV). Equity Kingdom and our Equity Worlds workshops are dedicated to experiencing vision guided by God’s Kingdom and to expressing our heart and soul’s passion to build justice and defeat racism. It is important to have a family of people fromContinue reading “Inspired Equity Worlds”

In one of my all-time favorite Bible stories, Jesus tells the Samaritan woman at the well: “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.” (John 4:10) He elaborates: “Everyone whoContinue reading “Living Water”

More thoughts today on what sharing means, its importance and challenges… Also, here are a few more images to reflect on, some that could be printed out and colored (if you choose to do that, PLEASE, please send us a copy at equitykingdomofgod@gmail.com). We always like to see your engagement with art, and especially anyContinue reading “Sharing Is Caring”

Jesus taught us: “Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none; and whoever has food must do likewise.” (Luke 3:11) Yet sometimes it seems really hard to share. We fear we and our families don’t have enough to spare–or maybe we won’t soon. But Jesus trusted God to provide. He didn’t hold back anything–not foodContinue reading “Dare to Share”

Most of us know this promise Jesus makes in his Sermon on the Mount: “Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.” (Matthew 7:7) We are told if we but knock on God’s door, it will be opened. And we will be givenContinue reading “Knock, Knock! Who’s There?”

Logos, handles, websites… oh my! Soon after envisioning and founding Equity Kingdom, I began putting together the various building blocks any new enterprise needs: logo, website, social media handles, banners, stationery, and so on. And these tools are pretty necessary today for getting the word out and connecting with people who might want or needContinue reading “Holy vs. Entrepreneurial Spirit”

The Biblical story of the valley of dry bones (Ezekiel 37:1-14) may have a good word to reflect on for our times. In the story, God directs the prophet Ezekiel to prophesy to the dry bones in the valley so they can come alive and live. After he does, Ezekiel sees that the bones thenContinue reading “Come, Breath!”

Most of us are familiar with the dairy industry ads that ask the question (and promote their product), “Got milk?” And certainly milk is an excellent beverage for those who can and like to drink it. But the meanings of “bread” go bigger and broader. It’s not just the baked loaves from various grains, butContinue reading “Got Bread?”
