Freedom Rising: Guns, God & Patriarchy

In Missouri, Ralph Yarl was shot for ringing the wrong doorbell. In New York, Kaylin Gillis was murdered because she turned into the wrong driveway. We are a country awash in both guns and propaganda designed to keep people in a state of constant threat. White men, in particular, have been told: “They’re coming for you. You need to arm yourself and protect your castle at any cost.” The wages of these sinful lies are death. Gun culture, racism and patriarchy and intricately interwoven—we must untangle this mess.

To explore this issue further, join a free, public dialogue between Rev. Nadia Bolz-Weber and Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis. Rev. Bolz-Weber is the New York Times bestselling author of Shameless: A Sexual Revolution, the founder of The House for All Sinners and Saints and a crucial voice on patriarchal violence—and how we heal. Dr. Lewis is Senior Minister at Middle Church, author of Fierce Love, and a prophetic public voice about how to uproot white supremacy and break down gun culture. Come, learn from their wisdom and let’s get to work.
