Today Anna and Marshall take a look at Luke 10:1-11 and 16-20. Marshall shares about his experience with helping local Brazilians learn about their voting rights and power during a time of political unrest. They talk a lot about organizing and what it means to “power map” in that setting. Anna talks about her initial take away of “shaking the dust off your feet” as a sort of spiteful attitude vs how now she looks at it as encouragement to not carry that rejection on with you. Marshall shares about the importance of Qtips - Quit taking it personally - when presenting the message of peace. They both find a lot of joy and hope when they seek out places where they are well received and build relationships, rather than trying to force the gospel on those who aren’t ready to hear it.
