Big Book News and The Blog that Went Away But Came Back AWESOME

Last updated on: August 18, 2016 at 6:53 pm By Osheta Moore

Hey Sistas, As some of y’all know, last spring, I signed a book contract with Herald Press! I know, right? I’ve mentioned this on the podcast, but here on the blog I think I was waiting for the perfect time to tell you. Well, here we go. I’m writing a book for you and for me. A book that reminds us of the things that makes for peace. “Shalom Sistas” is my story of evacuating New Orleans after Katrina and... Read more

The Shalom Sistas’ Manifesto

Last updated on: March 8, 2018 at 3:44 pm By Osheta Moore

A manifesto functions as both a statement of principles and a bold, sometimes rebellious, call to action. The Art of Manliness “The more I get to know Jesus, the more trouble he seems to get me into.” ― Shane Claiborne, The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical Peacemaking is hard. Living wholeheartedly when you’re feeling broken by the your circumstances or current events takes courage. Loving kiddos with bad attitudes and the co-worker who reminds you of... Read more

You Belong

Last updated on: August 18, 2016 at 4:21 am By Osheta Moore

“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.” ― Mother Teresa You know that feeling that everyone is hanging out except for you? Confession time, Sistas. I think everyone is having gourmet dinners over mason jar candles with “All Saints and Daughters” playing in the background, except for me. Somehow my text invite got lost in the cloud. Shalom in community is acknowledging some of these fears and insecurities with... Read more

You Are Beloved

Last updated on: August 18, 2016 at 2:50 am By Osheta Moore

“First of all, you have to keep unmasking the world about you for what it is: manipulative, controlling, power-hungry, and, in the long run, destructive. The world tells you many lies about who you are, and you simply have to be realistic enough to remind yourself of this. Every time you feel hurt, offended, or rejected, you have to dare to say to yourself: ‘These feelings, strong as they may be, are not telling me the truth about myself. The... Read more

You Are Enough

Last updated on: August 17, 2016 at 5:11 am By Osheta Moore

“Here’s what is truly at the heart of wholeheartedness: Worthy now, not if, not when, we’re worthy of love and belonging now. Right this minute. As is.” ― Brené Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You’re Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are Doesn’t it sometimes feel like we can’t measure up? The “Not enough” keeps me from loving my people well, doing good in the world, and taking care of myself. So... Read more

We Are Connected

Last updated on: August 17, 2016 at 4:42 am By Osheta Moore

God created the world in a web of relationships that overflowed with forceful goodness. Lisa Sharon Harper, The Very Good Gospel I love this quote from Lisa Sharon Harper so much and combined with this picture of string art on reclaimed wood, it’s a powerful reminder that we are connected and we are made whole to make the world whole. Here are my favorite posts on seeking the Shalom of the world: “Love, Learn, Live: What I Wish I... Read more

5 Emails To Send For Back-to-School Shalom

Last updated on: August 15, 2016 at 6:17 pm By Osheta Moore

Today marks one whole week of the kiddos being back at school—and lemme just stop for a moment to do a praise dance while I sing, “The Lord has brought me to a land flowing with milk and honey and QUIET!” Hallelujer, He is Good! In spite of this newfound glee, I have to tell y’all that back to school gives me so much anxiety. I won’t feel like we’ve hit our groove until Oct and maybe by Christmas break... Read more

Episode 16: Shalom Book Club on “Wearing God”

Last updated on: July 9, 2016 at 10:53 pm By Osheta Moore

There are hundreds of metaphors for God, but the church only uses a few familiar images: creator, judge, savior, father. In Wearing God, Lauren Winner gathers a number of lesser-known tropes, reflecting on how they work biblically and culturally, and reveals how they can deepen our spiritual lives. Exploring the notion of God as clothing, Winner reflects on how we are “clothed with Christ” or how “God fits us like a garment.” In this... Read more
