- Religion & Spirituality
Who is Momologian? Rev. Alicia Vélez Stewart (she/her/ella) is a sassy mom of twins + 2, at times irreverent but always in awe of the Divine, Latina pastora, theologian, progressive, and unashamedly liberal child of God. Fully fueled by caffeine & the Holy Spirit 🕊, if you’re looking for a slightly heretical and definitely scriptural take on Christianity then you’re in the right place.

Loving like Jesus: Love One Another
This week was a monumental one in the life of the world-wide UMC. With all the changes, many are asking, “So where does this leave us?“ Well, Beloved, the scripture for today gives us the answer to the “now what?” question for us and our church: We continue to love. -
Living like Jesus: Love God
Welcome to week 3 in our series “Living Like Jesus.” This week we are on the topic of living in a way that speaks to our Love of God.
Now, after a number of conversations - and I am not just saying that! I HAVE had a number of conversations - about how we engage the text in worship vs. Bible study, and how some folks wish we could have a moment in worship that is LIKE our Bible studies vs. a sermon that can feel like I am talking AT y’all, we are going to give that a try this week.
