    Freedom Road & InVerse Presents: GazaCeasefirePilgrimage.com

    GazaCeasefirePilgrimage.com A Kiwi named James Harris set out with a mustard seed of faith and walked the length of Gaza to fundraise for relief and refugees while calling for a ceasefire.
    The next day he rang me (Jarrod) and asked if I would be interested in doing a walk too. I responded, “Mate, I think the world would be interested!”
    I picked up the phone and soon Lisa Sharon Harper, Suzan Wahhab, Mae Cannon, James Harris and I were all in tears. Not merely because of what is happening but of how the Holy Spirit is moving.
    GazaCeasefirePilgrimage.com was born.
    2 weeks later, *12 counties • 77 cities* have signed up. Come join Dr Drew Hart as he facilitates us hearing the story, learning about the movement and responding to the invitation to transfigure our trauma and put our compassion into action for those who are suffering.

**My favorite theological podcast **

This podcast *and community* have played the biggest role in my evolution as a Jesus follower— from one who was taught to “swallow” biblical interpretation without questioning or doubts to one who is beginning to “chew” it through critical thinking and kind & curious examining of the soul. This changes everything folks ✨ Come join!

Gives me life and infuses me with hope

I probably can’t overstate what Inverse is for me at this moment. In a time when I feel like I am barely holding on to my faith, this podcast always draws out those brimming hopeful tears that sting your eyes when something is unexpectedly and breathtakingly beautiful. As I reject the misogyny and white supremacy upon which what I knew as Christianity was built, you guys are helping recover and rebuild something truly glorious.

Always challenged and encouraged

I don’t exactly remember how I first connected to this podcast, but I am glad I did. I have found the non-violent atonement theory podcast episodes to be encouraging, challenging and helpful in my understanding of atonement. Grateful for the voices that are helping me hear a reading of scripture that is taking me forward.
