Who’s my neighbor? Not just the people I like, but the ones I’d rather avoid. The ones who need mercy, even if they’re "supposed" to be my enemy. That’s Jesus as the interpreter, showing us what love looks like when we’d rather draw lines.

Worship is different. It’s this beautiful practice that invites our whole selves—yes, even our bodies—into the mix. Science backs this up in wild ways. Did you know our bodies pick up on danger before our brains do? Or that trauma lingers in our muscles, not just our minds? There’s even research showing organ transplant recipients sometimes inherit memories from their donors. Crazy, right? (Side note: I’m ADHD, so tangents like this are my jam—bear with me!) The point is, worship isn’t just a mental or spiritual exercise. It’s physical. It’s holistic. It’s us showing up fully human to meet a fully present God.
