Yall know I'm late. 😛
HEY YALL!
WELCOME TO #SlateSpeak .
An hour of radical truth telling and faith.
I'm your hostess with the moste-
with all I have to give.
Jameelah. TJ if ya nasty.

So here, we have lively discussions about faith.
No you don't have to be a Christian.
No you don't have to agree.
But the block train leaves my station every 10 minutes, so don't push it, okay?

QUESTION: Do you collect anything? If so, what?
Do you have any interesting hobbies?
#SlateSpeak
I'm TJ. (they/she). I don't have ANY collections at all.
Oh. Except...

I pray in song lyrics.
Prayer 1:
"Sometimes I wonder the fuck am I prayin' for?
My momma hate, I question the lord
There's a higher power, I believe in that
I question where he put that evil at."
-Time, by Rexx Life Raj

Prayer #2
"There will be no love that's dying here for me"
-Greg Porter- No Love Dying.
Amen

Today. We are talking about POSSIBILITIES.
Alot of times, we have to see that there's another way to live. Another way to be. That's what I want us to talk about today.

Respond to Q1 with A1 , and so on. Use the tag so we can see you!

Q1: Can you tell me a turning moment in your faith? A time when you said to yourself, "I've been holding onto something I THOUGHT I had to be, but ya know what? No. It doesn't have to be this way"
Did you have a moment like that?
Big or small-What was it?
#SlateSpeak

My bad I got caught up in yall's answers.
Wow.
#SlateSpeak

Q2: How do you feel now that you've accepted another way? Accepted that spirituality doesn't have to be how you were taught?
#SlateSpeak

Lets try something so I don't go too much over time. (Oh I'm gonna go over time as is the Tradition. Don't you worry)
Q3 is like... a breakout session question. Answer either one.
#SlateSpeak

Q3a: What's the toughest part about exploring new faith possibilities?

Q3b: If you're handy with a Bible or any religious text. Is there a scripture, book, or character that people need to see new possibilities for?

Ready? Break!

I'm over time. Every time.
Tardiness is holy.
Holiness is right!
😂
LAST QUESTION
Q4: what would you tell someone who needs to see new possibilities for their faith? Who feels like life COULD be different, but they're afraid? Or confused about what's next?
#SlateSpeak

Whew. I'm sleepy.
Yall of course, one again, were amazing.
I've attended this chat faithfully since 2016. And I'm full and hopeful every time.
Thanks so much yall. Goodnight!!!
