😀👍  Today on Open Door OC Professor and Pastor, RC Wilkinson begins a new series through the minor Prophet, Haggai. Israel had been through a lot and Haggai called on them to "consider your ways" and not return to living selfishly, corruptly, and irresponsibly. This is a timely message for all of us as we prepare to rebuild a new normal and move forward as a nation, and as people who were tasked by Jesus to love our neighbors like we love ourselves.  #OpenDoorOC 

Today on Open Door OC Professor and Pastor, RC Wilkinson talks about what we need to do in order for us to not have to repeat this kind of trouble in the future. We need to rebuild God's Kingdom through His love and generosity toward our entire human family.  Here is how...  #OpenDoorOC 

 What happens if you push yourself too hard? What happens when your body tells you to stop yet, you keep going? Portia shares how self-care brought her back to health and it can help you too. Portia is passionate about promoting a holistic and inclusive approach to self-care that takes into consideration how cultural and social factors as well as experiences of discrimination based on identity markers (e.g. race, class, gender identity, sexual orientation) may trigger one's need for self-care and shape one's willingness--or reluctance---to engage in self-care practices. Preston has been an Assistant Professor of Public Health at Cal State Los Angeles for the past three years, and will transition to Cal State Fullerton, this Fall. Her research focuses on addressing health disparities and promoting health equity through inclusive approaches to self-care at the individual and organizational level. She earned her Doctorate of Public Health from UCLA, a Masters of Public Health in Health Behavior and Health Education from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and her Bachelors degree in Cultural and Social Anthropology from Stanford University. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. 

 In this mini diary video I call out the worst advice churches give to parents with kids who are LGBTQ. If your church advises or even hints that you as a parent should shun your child, you need to find a new church or faith community. That kind advice is 100% inconsistent with the teachings of Jesus in the Bible.

 In this quick video I cover one of the most offensive words used to disparage and dehumanize LGBTQ people. The "H" Word is used by fundamentalists and evangelicals, aka, Fundagelicals, to degrade the humanity of people they have been misled to believe the Bible condemns. It's not a Bible word. The Truth has been uncovered that the "H" Word was added to the Bible when certain members of the religious right within the publishing industry inserted the "H" word in the Bible to replace a word that is NOT who or what LGBT people are. It's the big cover-up and the Fundagelical agenda to marginalize and dehumanize LGBTQ people.
