Something that keeps going through my mind and has been going through my mind for months is how the Angels of the Lord tend to say things like “Fear not”.
God is in control. God has a plan. There is a saying among the Sufi people; “You may have forgotten the Way, but those who came before, did not forget you.” Peace upon you Father. 🙏🤲📿
Zach, this was an amazing read. Loved the theory of the elephant and the rider, I resonated throughout this read. It captures a lot of my sentiments throughout this election, and I love how you used even historical elements of Obama's presidency to highlight major differences to what's happening today. I do feel like there's so much confirmation bias, and we need to love one another, like you said. It reminds me of how many people forget to connect with others and see the similarities that we have, and the things that may not reflect the heart of Jesus.
The elephant and rider metaphor has been really helpful for me too! I think about it all the time when I'm interacting with folks. I'm hoping we can all spend more time connecting with others in the coming months.
Amen, we definitely need to have more conversations with others and find some common ground. If there's anything I learned from this election, it was the important of connecting with others and trying to put my part in healing this divide.

Loved it! Thanks for sharing ❤️
Thanks for reading!
Good stuff. I’m reminded of a Tim Keller book called Rediscovering Jonah.
Great sermon! Thanks for linking to my Substack!
