Want to Read $ 13.14"My transition was a homecoming, a process of making peace, a fulfillment of my calling. When Jesus said he came so we would have abundant life (John 10:10), I think this is part of what he's talking about: being who we are, all of who we are. Living our fullest and truest lives, which means being honest (if only with ourselves) about who we are meant to be."-Shannon T.L. Kearns, In the Margins: A Transgender Man’s Journey with Scripture
"The message of the eunuchs also calls us to look around and ask: Who is being excluded? Who is not welcome? Who is there no space for? [...] There is nothing to prevent them from being baptized. There is nothing to prevent them from worshipping. They don't need to change to be worthy; they are made worthy by wanting to be included. Anyone who desires the water is welcome."-Shannon T.L. Kearns, In the Margins: A Transgender Man’s Journey with Scripture
