Phew. Another excellent piece, JR. I appreciate how you wove Wink and Phyllis Tickle together to give us a multi-layered look at what appears to be unfolding before our very eyes. Thank you especially for the prayer at the end.
A powerful prayer indeed. Thanks JR Woodward for that wonderful insight of unmasking and naming the secrets powers. You have opened our spiritual eyesight. We really need the spiritual discernment.
Thank you so much for your encouraging words. I’m grateful that the reflection resonated with you. Yes, we truly need spiritual discernment in these times, to see through the illusions and name the powers for what they are. May the Spirit continue to open our eyes and strengthen us to walk in truth, love, and courage.
Herman, I appreciate your encouragement, and thanks for mentioning Howe’s recent book. I definitely need to check that out. I appreciate you helping spread the word. I’m just trying to do my part to engage the public square and the current crisis with a thoughtful theological and ecclesial lens. Peace.
