Had another great breakfast. Thank you to our special guests, J.J. from the Fishers Health Department and sharing her focus on mental health, and also to Jerry Zehr for sharing insights and his new book, “Sacred Rebel”. It is definitely a recommended read.

Best of luck to Martha on her upcoming second knee replacement.

See you all next month.

Adding some past pictures that haven’t been uploaded as well as this morning’s at Cafe Patachou Fishers.

This mornings breakfast at Cafe Patachou Fishers was wonderful. Thanks to Imam Nasser Karimian from the Alhuda Mosque for joining us and sharing faith with us.

“How Do We Live What We Really Believe” by Jerry Zehr

From Jerry Zehr … I wanted to share something I’ve been working on for a long time.

At some point, we all begin to question parts of what we’ve been given, beliefs, expectations, and ways of seeing the world. And then the harder question comes: how do we live what we truly believe while still staying connected to the people around us?

That question led me to write Sacred Rebel: Fierce Love in a Fearful World. It’s a journey I’m still living into every day.

The launch event will be held on Sunday, May 31 from 2:00 to 3:00 pm at the Carmel Clay Library Community Room A. Rather than a traditional book talk, it will be a conversation with stories, reflection, Q and A, and time to connect with one another.

During the event, I’ll also be joined by two people I consider “sacred rebels,” individuals who seek to live with courageous compassion, bridge divides, and remain connected even in difficult times. They will share some of their own stories and reflections about what it means to live authentically and compassionately in today’s world.

Today, I had a great time talking to sixth grade Sunday school students at a local Indianapolis synagogue!
We talked about Islam, Muslims, Judaism and how Jewish and Muslim traditions are similar and how they are different. These kinds of conversations are so valuable in building a peaceful future. 🕌✡️
We need to be like a tree where our roots go deep into our own faith traditions, and the branches grow upwards building relationships and understanding about others.
