This week we're exploring the cultural prevalence of amplifying our beliefs on signs, flags, and banners, not to mention hats and t-shirts :) - and looking at what this practice means for living our lives of faith.

3. Podcast: Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey with guest Joel Smallbone on why our differences matter in the Kingdom of God
4. Journal prompts:
What groups do I belong to that color how I identify myself?
Do the messages I extend with my spoken or written words invite or exclude others?
How do I represent myself as a Christian with the words I choose?
Would Jesus use the same signs, placards or bumper stickers I use? Would He use any? What would they be?
5. Song: Who Am I, by Casting Crowns
6. Podcast: Kelly Corrigan Wonders with guest Fr. Greg Boyle (This one is a must-listen. We are not as different as we think.)
7. Podcast: Everything Happens with Kate Bowler, guest Ann Patchett on what it means to be human in community
8. Song: I Am Nothing, by Ginny Owens
9. Song: Show Me Your Peace Sign, by Michael Franti & Spearhead
10. Practice: If you were to put a sign on your home or words on a t-shirt that would be strictly loving and not exclusionary, what would it say?
