My Jesus, a Feminist

Last updated on: November 8, 2013 at 6:13 pm By Osheta Moore

(This post is part of a synchroblog celebrating the release of Sarah Bessey’s book Jesus Feminist.) Among mothers there is a certain play date etiquette we adhere to when our children rush up to us and begs, “Mom, can (insert new best friend forever) come over and play?” We don’t offer peanut products of any kind, in any configuration, in any amount. Ever. Even if the child has peanut butter smudges across her chin and brags about all the Reese’s Pieces she got... Read more

Campfire Conversation with Sarah Bessey

Last updated on: November 4, 2013 at 9:55 am By Osheta Moore

Today, I’m so thrilled to share with you my conversation with Sarah Bessey about her book, “Jesus Feminist” that releases tomorrow (Yay!). I have one copy of “Jesus Feminist” to give away, find out how to win it after the interview. Last year I was worn out by the climate around “biblical womanhood” so I wrote a series called, “Third Way Womanhood” about how I just don’t fit in. Then I was introduced to Sarah’s blog and I thought, ‘Oh... Read more

Gracious Expectations For Myself

Last updated on: November 1, 2013 at 4:21 pm By Osheta Moore

Hey Peeps. It’s Friday. Normally I’d write a quippy little intro to FMF. But seriously. I have not time or space for such niceties. But I will tell you this…FMF, rocks. Take five minutes, write out your best meditation on grace, share it with the community. Maybe by the end, you’ll feel a little better, more thankful, and grace-full. Like me. Kind of. Well…I’m getting there. Gotta go, the HOT WATER IS BACK ON! See you on Monday, GO: So... Read more

We Are Pierced Women

Last updated on: October 31, 2013 at 3:38 pm By Osheta Moore

Today, I have the great honor of guest posting for my friend, Suzannah Paul over at “the smitten word”. For Trinity’s seventh birthday, we got piercings. She got pink little studs in her ears and I got a cute little crystal in my nose. This is the story and some reflections for our tribe called, “We Are Pierced Women”. I remember holding her hand as our sexy-chic body art practitioner, who noticed her telltale shaky breaths and nervous fidgeting, and... Read more

A Scary Invitation: Happy Halloween

Last updated on: October 31, 2013 at 1:31 pm By Osheta Moore

So, on Monday, I promised y’all a bold proposal. And seriously, this idea sat in my gut all week because I knew the moment I acted on it, I was going to get all types of sick. SO, I found every reason to avoid writing this post! I even cleaned out parts of my fridge. For real. Racial reconciliation is some scary, scary business. Happy Halloween. But here’s the deal, if you’re a black woman and you don’t feel safe... Read more

Affection Is Not Necessarily Reconciliation

Last updated on: October 28, 2013 at 8:14 pm By Osheta Moore

This was one of the hardest lines to write in my last post, but one of the truest. Fond feelings, those, “you go, girl” comments, or even sharing belly laughs do so much to break down barriers, but most of the time, it’s not enough. What I’m learning and what I’m realizing is woefully absent in my life is safety to have honest conversations about race and privilege in my cross-cultural relationships. Maybe, it’s my fault. I’ve probably been too... Read more

Sometimes, I Wish I Were White

Last updated on: October 25, 2013 at 5:49 pm By Osheta Moore

Today we’re going to jump to the last Reknew Manfesto point, “Rethink Humanity”. I love this line from the manifesto: Racial reconciliation is thus not something a church can choose to engage in or not. We believe it is one of the reasons for which Jesus died and that it must therefore be proclaimed and practiced by all followers of Jesus. – See more at: http://reknew.org/2012/07/a-reknew-manifesto/#sthash.l0hod00F.dpuf I want to jump to this because I just got back from a wonderful...

Gracious Expectations for Our Tribe

Last updated on: October 22, 2013 at 5:04 pm By Osheta Moore

Today I’m so honored to guest post for Alyssa Bacon-Liu, the beauty behind, “All Things Beautiful”. She is smart, funny, genuine, and incredibly talented. I’m so excited to share a post on grace called, “Gracious Expectations” with you my lovely readers. “Oh my God! You have SO lost your mind!” I yelled at the driver who nearly cut us off on Storrow Drive, the uncomfortably narrow, often confusing, major parkway into Boston our family takes every Friday night. So that my... Read more

Calling All Vera Bradley Lovers

Hey Friends who own a Vera Bradley bag! Don’t worry, I’m not going to go all social justice juke (think the Jesus juke but about social justice issues) on you and tell you something’s wrong, wrong, wrong with our beloved Vera bags so we should burn them in effigy. I’m working on a blog post on the beauty of unified diversity for Friday and I need some help. If you own a Vera bag, will you please, please, please take... Read more

Weekend Unity Posts

Last updated on: October 19, 2013 at 10:39 pm By Osheta Moore

Today I listened to a fantastic sermon, from The Meeting House, a wonderful Anabaptist community in Canada. I love Bruxy Cavey’s humor and his wise insights. The sermon, “Focus on the Family” is part one in a four part series called, “Living Like Jesus Intended”. I loved his point on the Body being safe and diverse. Even though this month, I’m exploring my convictions and distinctions in hopes to identify my tribe and meet like-minded women, we are still one... Read more
