The Right to Be – Rev. Darrell Jones – Talk Only
DESCRIPTION
This week’s message affirms our spiritual right to belong. It is something we all need to hear, and it may be especially meaningful for those told—explicitly or implicitly—that they were unworthy. In this talk, we reclaim spiritual authority from within.
SUMMARY
Rev. Darrell Jones discusses the idea that all people have the right to belong and to be themselves, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or other traits. The speaker emphasizes that a threat to anyone’s right to be is a threat to everyone’s right to be, and challenges the audience to actively work to create a world that accepts and celebrates diversity. The speaker also acknowledges the presence of fear and doubt, but encourages the audience to deny the power of these negative emotions and instead affirm the truth that there is only one life, which is God’s life and belongs to all. The speaker calls for bold action and an open heart to address the issues of injustice and lack of inclusion in society.
