Jacqui Lewis Instagram - My calling to ministry is deeply rooted in the Civil Rights Movement. My work has been about social justice and reclaiming and reframing Christianity. By all accounts, #CowboyCarter is a body of music that reclaims and reframes music and American history. Throughout the album Beyoncé gives the world a new, inclusive and expansive offering of music- lifting up our blackbirds and new black rising starts while truly honoring ALL of music history (Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Stevie Wonder, Linda Martell). May we enjoy this music. And it cause our hearts to open more. Art matters. History matters. This album imagines a way forward into something bold and NEW while lifting up the past and future. #CowboyCarter #Beyonce #FierceLove #artheals #LovePeriod #LittleRockNine #LindaMartell #TannerAdell #BrittneySpencer #TieraKennedy #ReynaRoberts #PaulMccartney ❤️✊🏾 R/p @poststyle: When Melba Pattillo Beals heard Beyoncé sing a line from the Beatles’ “Blackbird” on her new album last week, she was transported back to a morning in September 1957, when she and eight other Black students arrived at an all-White Arkansas school. Beals, a member of the group known as the Little Rock Nine who integrated Central High School, had loved the 1968 Beatles hit from the first time she heard it — long before she learned in 2016 that her story had inspired it. The 82-year-old San Francisco resident said hearing Beyoncé’s rendition brought new meaning to the lyrics. As Beals streamed the song on Beyoncé’s new album, “Cowboy Carter,” she felt empowered knowing that nearly 67 years ago, she helped desegregate schools. “This song awakens so much,” Beals said.

Jacqui Lewis Instagram - Tiq is a member of our community. The story of his mother’s Revolutionary Love is SO moving. A beacon for all of us. This story NEEDS to be told, to be heard. It heals. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️✊🏾 Link in bio to Freedom Rising Conference April 26-28th where he will be speaking. I am so in awe, so grateful r/p @themrmilan & @mothstories: ************* When my mother was dying she said she wanted her funeral to be “real sad.” Lol She said she didn’t want people laughing and joking about how she great life was with her, she wanted us to mourn that she was dead. And that we did. Her funeral was one of the saddest events of my life. I know she’s tickled to know that I tell her story all over the country. Over 13 cities. And when I leave the stage there is barely a dry eye in the building because everyone is so sad that she is gone. 💜🕊️ Thank you @mothstories for the opportunity for my dear mother to live and be mourned by thousands through storytelling. “In “Ms. Mary,” Tiq Milan, who is featuring in our forthcoming anthology, A Point of Beauty, shares the story of transitioning and the support he received from his mother. Go to @mothstories for full snippet. 😊 Here’s a preview of his story. Read this story and more in A Point of Beauty: True Stories of Holding On and Letting Go out 3.19.24. Preorder at the link in bio or wherever you get your books!” @mothstories , . . . . . . . . #transisbeautiful #mothersandsons #transman #transmenofig #transisbeautiful #godislove #fiercelove #loveperiod #freedomrising #tiqmilan #mothstories #progressivechristianity
Jacqui Lewis Instagram - Praying for all. May the returned hostages find themselves enveloped in love as they begin the long journey of healing. May ALL of the hostages be released. May the short ceasefire pave the way for a more permanent end to the inexcusable and inhumane violence on Palestinians. May diplomacy and political engagement replace bombs and indiscriminate warfare. May peace soon reign. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 #GodIsLove #FierceLove #CeaseFireNow #LovePeriod #CeaseFire #NeverAgain #PublicTheology #PrayWithYourFeet #BringThemHome #Palestine #Israel
Jacqui Lewis Instagram - Is God Good With Gay? As we head into Pride Month I want to be absolutely clear: YES, God is good with gay. And YES, our queer siblings are holy. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️❤️ We have to remember that the Bible is a historical and political text written through the lens of the culture of the time period it was written in. The six texts that seem to condemn queerness are no more relevant today than the texts that forbid us from eating pork– and I know MANY a Christian who is not ready to give up their barbecue ribs at the cookout 😉. We have to stop using outdated texts to justify hate and exclusion.

Jacqui Lewis Instagram - Loving the comments on this on tweet. Accepting and celebrating all people brings a richness to the world that white-supremacy cannot abide by because it demands that only “whiteness” is worthiness. In the end white supremacy robs us all of a vibrant and colorful world with endless possibilities. #GodIsLove #GrownUpGod #BlackAllWays #AllWaysBlack #StayWoke

Jacqui Lewis Instagram - Easter is upon us and there is MUCH to think about. This Holy Week, Donald Trump made headlines selling $60 Bibles to fund his mountain of legal fees—Christian Nationalism selling off Christianity’s clothes while the faith they’re killing still hangs upon the cross. The twice-impeached, white supremacy spouting, serial raping, grifter-in-chief is a fitting stand-in for the Roman soldiers in our Good Friday story. His entire life embodies the savagery of the American imperial project. In the same way that the soldiers’ cruelty exposes the violence beneath the Pax Romana’s glittery sheen, he is Christian Nationalism stripped of all the ways it tries to make itself respectable. Any pretense of following Christ is gone, leaving just the naked will to dominate. Let’s be very clear: Christian Nationalism is actively crucifying the one they claim is risen. Every time they invoke Jesus’ name to persecute God’s people, they drive another nail into his body. But we know how the story ends… 🙏🏾🙌🏾 Join us Middle Church Tomorrow, Easter Sunday: - 7AM EDT Sunrise Worship on YouTube - 9:30 AM EDT In Person Worship Only at East End Temple - 11:45 AM EDT Hybrid In Person and Online Worship - 3:00 PM EDT Online Worship *****AND TOMORROW EVENING, EASTER SUNDAY**** I’ll be on The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart to talk about what the promise of new life means amid so many tombs. Join us at 6 p.m. EDT on MSNBC! Link in bio to my latest Substack: “Christian Nationalism is Selling Jesus’ Clothes.” PS: This graphic made me chuckle when I saw it posted by @progressivechristianity. It’s scary and funny at the same time, isn’t it? Sending Love ❤️✊🏾💋 #EasterSunday #GodIsLove #FierceLove #LovePeriod #WWJD #HealTheWorld #Hosanna #progressivechristianity
Jacqui Lewis Instagram - Reflecting on the life of Jesus—a Palestinian Jew—slain by the empire, we’re reminded of countless individuals whose lives have been cut short by oppressive laws and the insidious grip of power and hate. Trans rights face unprecedented assaults in our nation’s corridors of power. Policies and bills wielded by those in authority aim to obliterate our siblings’ narratives, stripping them of rights, healthcare, and bodily autonomy. In mourning Jesus, we mourn not only him but for ALL who are holy, sacred, and deeply cherished. While extensive records recount Jesus’ journey, the same comprehensive documentation doesn’t exist for these women. Out of 45 reports thus far unearthed (source: tdor.translivesmatter.info/reports), with an additional 7 acknowledged by the Human Rights Campaign, today we honor these 7 women. 7 women—sisters, mothers, daughters, lovers, friends, and pioneers—cherished by their kin and communities. Today, we lift you in remembrance. We breathe life into your names and stories. We affirm your significance, vowing never to forget. Join us in a moment of silence. Speak their names and those before them. Share their faces. As long as the trans community is under attack, we will stand up and fight back.

Jacqui Lewis Instagram - Say it with me: We cannot afford theologies that cause us to kill each other. We simply cannot afford it as a human race. It is time to fix broken theology. I’m taking about all religions, all faiths, all belief systems- we cannot afford theologies that make us turn to violence and make nothing of death. If you want to take action to heal the world, join me at the Freedom Rising Conference in NYC April 26th-28th. Let’s commune, let’s get educated. Let’s heal together. Info at https://www.freedomrisingconference.com Watch my full sermon from Sunday @middlechurch at the link in my bio ❤️🙏🏾 #ProgressiveChristianity #LovePeriod #Ubuntu #FierceLove #GodIsLove
Jacqui Lewis Instagram - America has a problem, indeed. May we never stop speaking truth to power. May we free ourselves of the lie so that we can build the land of freedom that we claim to be, but never have been for anyone (starting with our indigenous siblings). What affects one of us affects all of us. And oh how beautiful we could all be together ❤️✊🏾 #BlackAllWays #AlwaysBlack #BlackHistoryMonth #GodIsLove #FierceLove #RevDrJacquiLewis
Jacqui Lewis Instagram - Double tap if you feel me. If you feel the collective pain of the world.❤️🙏🏾 The suffering of others should break all of our hearts- it should crack them open wide enough to love MORE, to “See no stranger” as my friend @valariekaur says. We are ALL God’s chosen ones no matter what we believe or don’t believe. I will keep ringing the bell for love until my last breath. Looking forward to my Insta Live with @valariekaur on Wednesday 4/ 24 at 7:00pm EDT. We’ll talk all things Revolutionary Love. Valarie’s book “See No Stranger” is a mission statement and rally cry for empathy for all. And don’t forget there are still digital and in person tickets to Freedom Rising Conference starting THIS FRIDAY the 26th. Tix at www.freedomrisingconference.com. I so hope to see you there ❤️✊🏾
Jacqui Lewis Instagram - Today I turn 65 🤗❤️🥳 I am grateful for every twist and turn along the way to this birthday. I celebrate the little girl inside me- the one who worried about being too shiny, who sometimes felt the need to make herself small—the overachiever who wanted to do ALL of the things and be the best, and who always had a strong moral compass and an insane drive for justice. At 65, I feel more”ME” than ever. I’m less afraid of messing up (because messing up is human), less afraid of taking up too much space (who does shrinking serve?), and MORE committed to creating a just world for everyone. I know myself enough to laugh at myself when my flaws—like my stubbornness (who me? 🫢), and my difficulty resting—rear their heads. Here’s to knowing the best is yet to come. I wouldn’t change a thing. Much love to my friends and family and to all of YOU for helping me grow into the best Jacqui yet. ❤️✊🏾 📸: @davidpexton #FierceLove #HappyBirthdayToMe #LifeJourney #GeminiSeason #RevDrJacquiLewis #LovePeriod

Jacqui Lewis Instagram - Holy Week 2024, y’all. Which parade are we in? If you missed today’s @middlechurch worship featuring Jesus Christ Superstar, you can catch it online or watch our 3:00pm EDT digital service. These are hard times, and as I said in worship, though there is a cup full of poison, there is also a fountain full of of love. Let us be the love. Asé. #HolyWeek #PalmSunday #JesusChristSuperstar #LovePeriod #GodIsLove #ThereIsHope
Jacqui Lewis Instagram - Don’t let Christian Nationalists fool you—- Jesus was: * Brown * An Outsider * Marginalized * Jewish * Itinerant * Homeless * Not Empired Here we are again on Palm Sunday heading into an election year. Here we are again hearing Christian Nationalists call Trump a “Messiah.” This is plain blasphemy. Today we HAVE to remember that Jesus fought for the disenfranchised. He was not on the side of Empire. Period. The Christian Right is loud, but there are many Progressive Christians out here, my colleagues and friends, who are doing the work of correcting the narrative. Jesus is LOVE. God is LOVE. Our imperative from Jesus is to take care of one another. To call Trump a “messiah” is to turn against Jesus himself and to turn toward Empire. Throwback to my interview with @capehartj on @msnbc. Let’s reclaim our faith as a faith of LOVE, as Jesus intended. We CAN fight back in Jesus’ name. We must. For ALL people, not just Christians.❤️✊🏾 #PalmSunday #WWJD #HolyWeek #LovePeriod #GodIsLove #RevDrJacquiLewis #FierceLove
Jacqui Lewis Instagram - Shouting this from the mountaintops- GOD IS BIGGER THAN OUR BINARIES. I posted this a few years ago, but I think it’s so important to deconstruct the idea that God fits into tiny, human sized boxes and labels… How do you see God? Is God a “He” to you? A “She?” Is God Non-Binary? ⁣ ⁣ My God is a curvy black woman with dreadlocks and dark, cocoa-brown skin. She laughs from her belly and is unashamed to cry. She can rock a whole world to sleep, singing in her contralto voice. Her sighs breathe life into humanity. Her heartbreaks cause eruptions of justice and love.⁣ ⁣ Of course, because God is a mystery, we don’t know everything about Her. So, out of our imaginations and our yearnings, our hopes and our fears, we make stuff up. ⁣ ⁣ At our best, we project goodness, power, kindness, and love onto God. At our worst, we create a God who is punitive, angry, judgmental, and harsh. We do this because we are those things, and we think they make us safe.⁣ ⁣ What does your God look like? Comment below!⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Check out the link in my bio for an article I wrote about femininity and how we “imagine” God.⁣ ⁣ ❤️✊🏾💋🌈⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #LoveTransforms⁣ #GodIsLove #BoldNewLove⁣ #Freedom #LetLoveRule #Pride #Stonewall #FaithfullyLgbt #ProgressiveChristianity #ThisIsWhatAMinisterLooksLike #LoveIsLove #ReclaimingChristianity #ReframingChristianity #June #HappyPride #Joy #BlackLivesMatter #GodIsAWoman #50DaysOfPride #MiddleChurch #LoveIsLove⁣
Jacqui Lewis Instagram - Armor down. No red lip, no robe, no preacher’s stole. No fierce woman outfit required. Bare skin. Free. Playful. Splashing in the water with my grandbabies in pure chaotic delight. Of all the roles I have, being their Nana (and married to their Pop Pop) are the best of all. It’s John’s birthday today and I have a special gift for him. But these babies? They’re his gift to me, one that keeps on giving. Happy Birthday, Pop Pop. I love you SO much.❤️💋
Jacqui Lewis Instagram - Sometimes the cost of speaking the truth is a mean comment and sometimes it’s a death threat (yup, I get those). But rest assured, I will not be bullied into silence. I will continue to speak truth to power. ❤️✊🏾 If you agree, yay. Let’s work together. If you don’t: okay. We can dialogue about things civilly or you can choose to not engage with my content. You don’t have to follow me or like what I say. But please don’t bring negativity and threats to my page. There’s a thin line between violence online and violence in real life. Do not bring violence to me. #FierceLove #TruthToPower #ProgressiveFaith #Ubuntu #LovePeriod #StopBullying
Jacqui Lewis Instagram - It’s our anniversary! Celebrating 19 years of love and partnership with my wonderful husband, John Janka. We’re taking some time in beautiful Montreal to honor our journey together. Our interracial marriage, something that would have been impossible before the landmark Loving case in 1967, has been a journey of growth, support, and endless loving debates that keep us sharp. John is my best friend, my thought partner, and my greatest supporter. Thanking God for the day we met. Here’s to many more years of love and adventure and a relationship that heals and helps us grow into our biggest most generous selves both inside our relationship and in the world. ❤️🤗❤️ #LoveWins #Anniversary #MontrealMagic #LoveIsLove #InterracialMarriage #WeddingAnniversary #LovePeriod #GodIsLove #BlendedFamily #EverlastingLove #NatalieCole

Jacqui Lewis Instagram - America, let’s not fall for the circus. How can we crucify Trans people for being different when Jesus himself was crucified for being different? Trans Day of Visibility falls on the same day every year, March 31st. Trump demanding that Biden apologize for it falling on Easter when Easter is the day that changes year to year is beyond ridiculous. Our Trans siblings are holy children of God. What if we considered it a miracle that these two days overlapped this year? Easter, a day of renewal and hope, and Trans Day of Visibility- a day when we intentionally uplift the goodness of our Trans siblings. Easter 2024 may be behind us on the calendar, but the message lives beyond the holy day: Let’s double down on love, not hate. Watch this clip from my appearance on @capehartj on @msnbc on Sunday. It’s always a joy to be able to chat with Jonathan and friends. #Easter #TransDayofVisibility #GodIsLove #TransIsBeautiful #FierceLove #RevDrJacquiLewis #JonathanCapehart #MSNBC #LovePeriod #StopHate #TransLivesMatter

Jacqui Lewis Instagram - John asked me to marry him on Valentine’s Day in 2005. We had an intimate, sweet wedding @middlechurch. In my book, Fierce Love, I write about how full of love our wedding was: art-filled and full of a “rainbow tribe” of friends. As true as our love was, and as sure as I was that John was and always would be “my person,” my father chose to not come to our wedding because he disapproved of my marrying a white man, and a white man who was older than me at that. Time doesn’t heal all wounds, truth does. And rather than building resentment or pushing things under the rug, John bravely decided that we should travel to Chicago to see my father before our honeymoon- to understand whatever it was that made him feel like he could not accept us as a couple. To be honest. To tell the truth. Daddy & John talked. They shared life stories. They saw each other as humans. They eventually became friends. I believe that all love is beautiful. Real love heals. Whether you are in a same-race relationship or an interracial relationship, there are challenges and gifts. Some of the challenges that John and I face are external (yup, in 2024 some people STILL don’t want to celebrate an interracial couple). And some are internal (We love one another but we are people with our “stuff.”) John is my forever Valentine because he and I live our TRUTH together. Our love asks us to love bigger, deeper, more truthfully. Of all the choices I have made in life, John is my very best choice of all. #ValentinesDay #LoveIsLove #InterracialMarriage #LovePeriod #BlackAllWays #AllWaysBlack #LovingvsVirginia

Jacqui Lewis Instagram - 57 years ago my marriage would have been illegal. On this Loving Day, we celebrate the power of love that knows no bounds. John and my interracial marriage stands on the shoulders of the Loving decision, a landmark ruling by the Supreme Court on June 12, 1967, that affirmed our right to love freely and fully thanks to Mildred and Richard Loving’s bravery and conviction. Today, as rights that were long fought for are being threatened and stripped away across the country, we have to ask ourselves- what kind of world do we want? What world are we creating? Is it a world in which only white, cis people (and mainly men) are valued? Where whiteness and “blending in” are paramount? I reject that world. I reject it because there is so much beauty in the diversity with which God created us. I think it is SO fitting that #LovingDay occurs during Pride Month because, indeed, Love is Love is Love is Love is LOVE—unconditional, unapologetic, and unstoppable. Here’s to the beauty of our diverse love stories and the unbreakable bond that unites us all. ❤️ #LovingDay #LoveIsLove #UnbreakableBond #InterracialMarriage #GodIsLove #FaithfullyLGBT #FreeToLove #TodayInHistory @middlechurch @aclu_nationwide @uscraceequity #aclu

Jacqui Lewis Instagram - Ok about that debate. It was disappointing. Right now the only thing I know is this: democracy belongs to us- you and me, regular everyday people. And we need to step up and own it. Neither Biden nor Trump will “save us.” Join me Monday at 12:15pm EDT for an Instagram live with my friend @robertpjonesdc where we will dive into all things “America” in 2024. This is not the time to panic or listen to the loudest voice in the room. This is a time for deep reflection. Who are we, who have we been? Who do we WANT to be? And who is left out of that vision? We can vote for democracy. I love you all: BREATHE ❤️🇺🇸 #Democracy #VoteLove #Election2024 #Debate #RevDrJacquiLewis #ProgressiveChristianity #JustLove #PeaceForAll #JusticeForAll
Jacqui Lewis Instagram - Love is love is not enough this Pride. We have reached a historic number of anti-LGBTQIA bills, the highest in US history, and it’s ONLY June. Our queer & trans siblings are suffering at the hands of people in power. Gender-affirming care is being banned across the US, abortions are being banned, trans children are being outed by their teachers and school counselors, our trans siblings are dying at an alarming rate, saying love is love is not enough. FIERCE LOVE, as our senior minister @revjacquilewis has told us, is through ACTION. It’s what we do and what we say. Check the last slide for how you can help your trans siblings, check in on them, write in to your local legislator and be a voice for them, vote for them. They need us. ALL OF US. 🏳️‍⚧️🌈❤️ To our LGBTQIA siblings, here at Middle Church, we see you, we love you, and we will continue to fight for you, always.

Jacqui Lewis Instagram - I think the latter. Hurt people hurt people. We have to stop the chain of violence and domination and hatred that begets more violence and domination and hatred. God is Love.

Jacqui Lewis Instagram - Today is April 7th. We are in our 6th month of genocidal war crimes in Gaza. An estimated 33,000 Palestinians killed. There is no justifying the obliteration of entire people. Call Biden at 202-456-1111 from 11 AM-3PM Tuesday-Thursday and leave a message on White House Comment Line. Demand a Ceasefire. Every message must be heard. Use your voice. Let’s pray with ACTION. Enough is enough. #Ceasefire #FierceLove #LovePeriod #Releasehostages #ProgressiveChristianity #EndWar #StopHate
Jacqui Lewis Instagram - The church aimed to diminish women’s power, intelligence, and reputation, while also portraying God as a white man to gain our belief. But holy theology reveals that women were the last at the cross and the first to see Jesus, carrying wisdom straight from Christ and promoting a story of FIERCE LOVE. Watch @revjacquilewis full sermon from this Easter morning, “Nevertheless She Preached,” and discover how you can #BeLikeMary.💕 Happy Trans Day of Visibility Fam 🏳️‍⚧️
Jacqui Lewis Instagram - We see what is happening. We will not be silent. We will not be complicit. Israel’s government is willing to kill aid workers to ENSURE that they can kill Palestinians. Where is the value for any human life? People of morals- let us be moved by our collective conscience to speak up.💔✊🏾 #GodIsLove #ProgressiveChristianity #FierceLove #LovePeriod

Jacqui Lewis Instagram - It might have been 1991 when I first met Dr. West. An AAR meeting likely. And for all these years, Brother West greets me with that big-brother I see you trying hard lil sis energy. Kindness. Affirmation. Even some joy. Outside of presidential politics, in every context-in the streets, in the church, in the academy—this brother gives me Ubuntu. He sees me, recognizes me. How potent is that. Can we all give that power to each other? See each other’s super powers and prickly bits. Celebrate. Encourage. So here we are, outside after some slamming worship at Yale, glowing from Bishop Barber’s sermon. Bad lighting. Grainy pic. Not a great selfie angle. BUT that joyful recognition from one tired love warrior to another. If you want to get in the middle of it with me- if you want to find your place, your voice in the movement for peace and justice for all around the globe, join me at the Freedom Rising Conference April 26-28 in NYC.

Jacqui Lewis Instagram - Mommy died 7 years ago today. She was 80 years old. Look at this face that comforted me when I cried. These soft lips that kissed me goodnight. I learned to tilt my head back and laugh hard from Mommy, to pray everyday from this beautiful sweet woman that I miss everyday. If you lost someone you love, say their name in the comments. Emma Lee Lewis is hers. Mommy, your love is eternal; you are everlasting life to me. Last year at our Freedom Rising Conference a love warrior brought this restored photo to me as a gift. Thank you friend. Hope you’re coming this weekend. Can’t wait to be in a community of love TOMORROW. www.freedomrisingconference.com for tickets to join us digitally or in person. #Mothers #MommyAndMe #Grief #FreedomRising
Jacqui Lewis Instagram - Fascism is knocking on the door, white supremacy is knocking at the door, false piety is knocking at the door. It is time to decide who we are.

America- I believe that you ARE strong enough to hold multitudes. Multitudes of beliefs, of types of people, of ways of living. The Election is upon us. We have a LOT of healing to do. Whoever you are, wherever you are, your voice matters in healing our fractured nation. Join me at The Freedom Rising Conference April 24-26 if you believe (or want to believe) there is a better way.

Jacqui Lewis Instagram - We ain’t got time to die yet church. We have so much to do, so much justice to make happen, so much love to give, and so much pain to heal. In @revjacquilewis’ sermon “Ain’t got time to die”. We learned what Johnson’s spiritual means for us during these dangerous times. Where plan 2025 exist. Where this a so called white nationalist church that uses God’s word to try dismantle love and harm our queer siblings. This time is critical. This is the fierce urgency of NOW, and we ain’t got time to die. “Lord I keep so busy praisin’ my Jesus  Keep so busy praisin’ my Jesus  Keep so busy praisin’ my Jesus  Ain’t got time to die”

My new book, The Just Love Story Bible, co-written with @sdaleyharris and illustrated by @cherylrasthuesday is available for Pre-order now (link in bio) and in stores Feb 25th.

I’m so excited to share this with you!!! #JustLove #FierceLove #LovePeriod #ChilrensBible #GodIsLove
Jacqui Lewis Instagram - “Queerness” has always existed. God created our queer siblings, after all. It’s our RELATIONSHIP to queerness that has changed based on societal “norms.” But God is still speaking: our queer siblings have so much to teach us just by living as their true selves if we are willing to listen and to not feel threatened. God has created a panoply of beauty, of ways to love. And true love ALWAYS expands us and is always holy. Grateful for a God who queers me, for @middlechurch which queers me. For to “queer” is to GROW into more love, no matter your gender or sexual orientation. ❤️🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #LovePeriod #InclusiveFaith #ProgressiveFaith #FierceLove #SocialJustice #WomensRights #FaithfullyLGBT #TransLivesMatter #GodIsLove #QueerFaith
Jacqui Lewis Instagram - Say it with me now: Jesus is not in the place where the Bible is used to beat queer people! 🌈♥️🏳️‍⚧️ That’s it. That’s the message. Happy Pride, y’all! #FaithfullyLGBT #GodIsLove #WhatWouldJesusDo #ProgressiveChristianity #LovePeriod #revdrjacquilewis #pridemonth #Pride24

Jacqui Lewis Instagram - Biden or Trump: does it matter? Many of us are put off by politics right now, disgusted even. I choose to believe that we need to elect someone that we can fight with and call to task- not someone who seeks only to destroy, exclude and shut out. We cannot afford to hand our democracy over to Trump. Biden undoubtedly has a lot to answer for, but we can call him to task with the tools of democracy. Today is only the primaries. There is a long road to November. But we cannot afford to be apathetic, loves. We CAN fight. What do you think? How are you feeling right now? Keep sending me your wonderful questions- this community feeds me and gives me hope. ❤️✊🏾 #Vote #ElectionYear #FierceLove #WWJD #JusticeFoeAll #FaithandPolitics #GodIsLove #VoteLove #FaithfullyLGBT #PeaceForAll #EndWar

By all accounts, #CowboyCarter is a body of music that reclaims and reframes music and American history. Throughout the album Beyoncé gives the world a new, inclusive and expansive offering of music- lifting up our blackbirds and new black rising starts while truly honoring ALL of music history (Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Stevie Wonder, Linda Martell). May we enjoy this music. And it cause our hearts to open more. Art matters. History matters.

Beals, a member of the group known as the Little Rock Nine who integrated Central High School, had loved the 1968 Beatles hit from the first time she heard it — long before she learned in 2016 that her story had inspired it. The 82-year-old San Francisco resident said hearing Beyoncé’s rendition brought new meaning to the lyrics. As Beals streamed the song on Beyoncé’s new album, “Cowboy Carter,” she felt empowered knowing that nearly 67 years ago, she helped desegregate schools. “This song awakens so much,” Beals said.

Throughout the album Beyoncé gives the world a new, inclusive and expansive offering of music- lifting up our blackbirds and new black rising starts while truly honoring ALL of music history (Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Stevie Wonder, Linda Martell). May we enjoy this music. And it cause our hearts to open more. Art matters. History matters. This album imagines a way forward into something bold and NEW while lifting up the past and future. #CowboyCarter #Beyonce #FierceLove #artheals #LovePeriod #LittleRockNine #LindaMartell #TannerAdell #BrittneySpencer #TieraKennedy #ReynaRoberts #PaulMccartney ❤️✊🏾 R/p @poststyle: When Melba Pattillo Beals heard Beyoncé sing a line from the Beatles’ “Blackbird” on her new album last week, she was transported back to a morning in September 1957, when she and eight other Black students arrived at an all-White Arkansas school. Beals, a member of the group known as the Little Rock Nine who integrated Central High School, had loved the 1968 Beatles hit from the first time she heard it — long before she learned in 2016 that her story had inspired it. The 82-year-old San Francisco resident said hearing Beyoncé’s rendition brought new meaning to the lyrics. As Beals streamed the song on Beyoncé’s new album, “Cowboy Carter,” she felt empowered knowing that nearly 67 years ago, she helped desegregate schools. “This song awakens so much,” Beals said.

And YES, our queer siblings are holy. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️❤️ We have to remember that the Bible is a historical and political text written through the lens of the culture of the time period it was written in. The six texts that seem to condemn queerness are no more relevant today than the texts that forbid us from eating pork– and I know MANY a Christian who is not ready to give up their barbecue ribs at the cookout 😉. We have to stop using outdated texts to justify hate and exclusion.

This Holy Week, Donald Trump made headlines selling $60 Bibles to fund his mountain of legal fees—Christian Nationalism selling off Christianity’s clothes while the faith they’re killing still hangs upon the cross. The twice-impeached, white supremacy spouting, serial raping, grifter-in-chief is a fitting stand-in for the Roman soldiers in our Good Friday story. His entire life embodies the savagery of the American imperial project. In the same way that the soldiers’ cruelty exposes the violence beneath the Pax Romana’s glittery sheen, he is Christian Nationalism stripped of all the ways it tries to make itself respectable. Any pretense of following Christ is gone, leaving just the naked will to dominate. Let’s be very clear: Christian Nationalism is actively crucifying the one they claim is risen. Every time they invoke Jesus’ name to persecute God’s people, they drive another nail into his body. But we know how the story ends… 🙏🏾🙌🏾 Join us Middle Church Tomorrow, Easter Sunday: - 7AM EDT Sunrise Worship on YouTube - 9:30 AM EDT In Person Worship Only at East End Temple - 11:45 AM EDT Hybrid In Person and Online Worship - 3:00 PM EDT Online Worship *****AND TOMORROW EVENING, EASTER SUNDAY**** I’ll be on The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart to talk about what the promise of new life means amid so many tombs.

Caption : Reflecting on the life of Jesus—a Palestinian Jew—slain by the empire, we’re reminded of countless individuals whose lives have been cut short by oppressive laws and the insidious grip of power and hate. Trans rights face unprecedented assaults in our nation’s corridors of power. Policies and bills wielded by those in authority aim to obliterate our siblings’ narratives, stripping them of rights, healthcare, and bodily autonomy. In mourning Jesus, we mourn not only him but for ALL who are holy, sacred, and deeply cherished.

If you feel the collective pain of the world.❤️🙏🏾 The suffering of others should break all of our hearts- it should crack them open wide enough to love MORE, to “See no stranger” as my friend @valariekaur says. We are ALL God’s chosen ones no matter what we believe or don’t believe. I will keep ringing the bell for love until my last breath. Looking forward to my Insta Live with @valariekaur on Wednesday 4/ 24 at 7:00pm EDT. We’ll talk all things Revolutionary Love. Valarie’s book “See No Stranger” is a mission statement and rally cry for empathy for all. And don’t forget there are still digital and in person tickets to Freedom Rising Conference starting THIS FRIDAY the 26th. Tix at www.freedomrisingconference.com. I so hope to see you there ❤️✊🏾

I celebrate the little girl inside me- the one who worried about being too shiny, who sometimes felt the need to make herself small—the overachiever who wanted to do ALL of the things and be the best, and who always had a strong moral compass and an insane drive for justice. At 65, I feel more”ME” than ever. I’m less afraid of messing up (because messing up is human), less afraid of taking up too much space (who does shrinking serve?), and MORE committed to creating a just world for everyone. I know myself enough to laugh at myself when my flaws—like my stubbornness (who me? 🫢), and my difficulty resting—rear their heads. Here’s to knowing the best is yet to come. I wouldn’t change a thing. Much love to my friends and family and to all of YOU for helping me grow into the best Jacqui yet. ❤️✊🏾 📸: @davidpexton #FierceLove #HappyBirthdayToMe #LifeJourney #GeminiSeason #RevDrJacquiLewis #LovePeriod

Here we are again hearing Christian Nationalists call Trump a “Messiah.” This is plain blasphemy. Today we HAVE to remember that Jesus fought for the disenfranchised. He was not on the side of Empire. Period. The Christian Right is loud, but there are many Progressive Christians out here, my colleagues and friends, who are doing the work of correcting the narrative. Jesus is LOVE. God is LOVE. Our imperative from Jesus is to take care of one another. To call Trump a “messiah” is to turn against Jesus himself and to turn toward Empire. Throwback to my interview with @capehartj on @msnbc. Let’s reclaim our faith as a faith of LOVE, as Jesus intended. We CAN fight back in Jesus’ name. We must.

A “She?” Is God Non-Binary? ⁣ ⁣ My God is a curvy black woman with dreadlocks and dark, cocoa-brown skin. She laughs from her belly and is unashamed to cry. She can rock a whole world to sleep, singing in her contralto voice. Her sighs breathe life into humanity. Her heartbreaks cause eruptions of justice and love.⁣ ⁣ Of course, because God is a mystery, we don’t know everything about Her. So, out of our imaginations and our yearnings, our hopes and our fears, we make stuff up. ⁣ ⁣ At our best, we project goodness, power, kindness, and love onto God. At our worst, we create a God who is punitive, angry, judgmental, and harsh. We do this because we are those things, and we think they make us safe.⁣ ⁣ What does your God look like?

Trans Day of Visibility falls on the same day every year, March 31st. Trump demanding that Biden apologize for it falling on Easter when Easter is the day that changes year to year is beyond ridiculous. Our Trans siblings are holy children of God. What if we considered it a miracle that these two days overlapped this year? Easter, a day of renewal and hope, and Trans Day of Visibility- a day when we intentionally uplift the goodness of our Trans siblings. Easter 2024 may be behind us on the calendar, but the message lives beyond the holy day: Let’s double down on love, not hate. Watch this clip from my appearance on @capehartj on @msnbc on Sunday. It’s always a joy to be able to chat with Jonathan and friends. #Easter #TransDayofVisibility #GodIsLove #TransIsBeautiful #FierceLove #RevDrJacquiLewis #JonathanCapehart #MSNBC #LovePeriod #StopHate #TransLivesMatter

Likes : 821Jacqui Lewis - 804 Likes - John asked me to marry him on Valentine’s Day in 2005. We had an intimate, sweet wedding @middlechurch. In my book, Fierce Love, I write about how full of love our wedding was: art-filled and full of a “rainbow tribe” of friends. As true as our love was, and as sure as I was that John was and always would be “my person,” my father chose to not come to our wedding because he disapproved of my marrying a white man, and a white man who was older than me at that. Time doesn’t heal all wounds, truth does. And rather than building resentment or pushing things under the rug, John bravely decided that we should travel to Chicago to see my father before our honeymoon- to understand whatever it was that made him feel like he could not accept us as a couple. To be honest. To tell the truth. Daddy & John talked. They shared life stories. They saw each other as humans. They eventually became friends. I believe that all love is beautiful. Real love heals. Whether you are in a same-race relationship or an interracial relationship, there are challenges and gifts. Some of the challenges that John and I face are external (yup, in 2024 some people STILL don’t want to celebrate an interracial couple). And some are internal (We love one another but we are people with our “stuff.”) John is my forever Valentine because he and I live our TRUTH together. Our love asks us to love bigger, deeper, more truthfully. Of all the choices I have made in life, John is my very best choice of all. #ValentinesDay #LoveIsLove #InterracialMarriage #LovePeriod #BlackAllWays #AllWaysBlack #LovingvsVirginia

Whether you are in a same-race relationship or an interracial relationship, there are challenges and gifts. Some of the challenges that John and I face are external (yup, in 2024 some people STILL don’t want to celebrate an interracial couple). And some are internal (We love one another but we are people with our “stuff.”) John is my forever Valentine because he and I live our TRUTH together. Our love asks us to love bigger, deeper, more truthfully. Of all the choices I have made in life, John is my very best choice of all. #ValentinesDay #LoveIsLove #InterracialMarriage #LovePeriod #BlackAllWays #AllWaysBlack #LovingvsVirginia
Likes : 804Jacqui Lewis - 783 Likes - 57 years ago my marriage would have been illegal. On this Loving Day, we celebrate the power of love that knows no bounds. John and my interracial marriage stands on the shoulders of the Loving decision, a landmark ruling by the Supreme Court on June 12, 1967, that affirmed our right to love freely and fully thanks to Mildred and Richard Loving’s bravery and conviction. Today, as rights that were long fought for are being threatened and stripped away across the country, we have to ask ourselves- what kind of world do we want? What world are we creating? Is it a world in which only white, cis people (and mainly men) are valued? Where whiteness and “blending in” are paramount? I reject that world. I reject it because there is so much beauty in the diversity with which God created us. I think it is SO fitting that #LovingDay occurs during Pride Month because, indeed, Love is Love is Love is Love is LOVE—unconditional, unapologetic, and unstoppable. Here’s to the beauty of our diverse love stories and the unbreakable bond that unites us all. ❤️ #LovingDay #LoveIsLove #UnbreakableBond #InterracialMarriage #GodIsLove #FaithfullyLGBT #FreeToLove #TodayInHistory @middlechurch @aclu_nationwide @uscraceequity #aclu

And for all these years, Brother West greets me with that big-brother I see you trying hard lil sis energy. Kindness. Affirmation. Even some joy. Outside of presidential politics, in every context-in the streets, in the church, in the academy—this brother gives me Ubuntu. He sees me, recognizes me. How potent is that. Can we all give that power to each other? See each other’s super powers and prickly bits. Celebrate. Encourage. So here we are, outside after some slamming worship at Yale, glowing from Bishop Barber’s sermon. Bad lighting. Grainy pic. Not a great selfie angle. BUT that joyful recognition from one tired love warrior to another. If you want to get in the middle of it with me- if you want to find your place, your voice in the movement for peace and justice for all around the globe, join me at the Freedom Rising Conference April 26-28 in NYC.

I learned to tilt my head back and laugh hard from Mommy, to pray everyday from this beautiful sweet woman that I miss everyday. If you lost someone you love, say their name in the comments. Emma Lee Lewis is hers. Mommy, your love is eternal; you are everlasting life to me. Last year at our Freedom Rising Conference a love warrior brought this restored photo to me as a gift. Thank you friend. Hope you’re coming this weekend. Can’t wait to be in a community of love TOMORROW. www.freedomrisingconference.com for tickets to join us digitally or in person. #Mothers #MommyAndMe #Grief #FreedomRising

In @revjacquilewis’ sermon “Ain’t got time to die”. We learned what Johnson’s spiritual means for us during these dangerous times. Where plan 2025 exist. Where this a so called white nationalist church that uses God’s word to try dismantle love and harm our queer siblings. This time is critical. This is the fierce urgency of NOW, and we ain’t got time to die. “Lord I keep so busy praisin’ my Jesus  Keep so busy praisin’ my Jesus  Keep so busy praisin’ my Jesus  Ain’t got time to die”

It’s our RELATIONSHIP to queerness that has changed based on societal “norms.” But God is still speaking: our queer siblings have so much to teach us just by living as their true selves if we are willing to listen and to not feel threatened. God has created a panoply of beauty, of ways to love. And true love ALWAYS expands us and is always holy. Grateful for a God who queers me, for @middlechurch which queers me. For to “queer” is to GROW into more love, no matter your gender or sexual orientation. ❤️🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #LovePeriod #InclusiveFaith #ProgressiveFaith #FierceLove #SocialJustice #WomensRights #FaithfullyLGBT #TransLivesMatter #GodIsLove #QueerFaith

I choose to believe that we need to elect someone that we can fight with and call to task- not someone who seeks only to destroy, exclude and shut out. We cannot afford to hand our democracy over to Trump. Biden undoubtedly has a lot to answer for, but we can call him to task with the tools of democracy. Today is only the primaries. There is a long road to November. But we cannot afford to be apathetic, loves. We CAN fight. What do you think? How are you feeling right now? Keep sending me your wonderful questions- this community feeds me and gives me hope. ❤️✊🏾 #Vote #ElectionYear #FierceLove #WWJD #JusticeFoeAll #FaithandPolitics #GodIsLove #VoteLove #FaithfullyLGBT #PeaceForAll #EndWar
