Today’s talk is a real good one. A bit off the beaten path, maybe—but it’s a discussion worth having. Today Jay really focuses in on statistics. Statistics vs. The Individual. We know maybe “statistics” isn’t the right word, but it’s the best fitting one we could think of. Jay discusses how society, as a whole, seems to want us boiled down to being a number, a statistic. They don’t see anything past that. They want to group us by gender or non-gender, by race, by religion. But we need to go deeper than that. We need to be more than numbers. We need to be diverse in all ways. More nuanced ways. Not just boiled down to some category made so everyone fits into the same molds. The reality that we’re living in is tough, but that’s where the diversity of thought can help. We all don’t have to agree, we all don’t have to see eye to eye. We just need to get to a place where we know that just because someone disagrees with us, they don’t need to be our enemy. Revolution loves nuance and wants to help give everyone, including ourselves, the tools needed to think and to change and to grow. Revolution is compelled by grace—despite success or failure. Let’s go deeper and find what helps us not feel like a statistic! Let’s go deeper!


This talk was given on September 3, 2023 from Seattle, Washington.

  • God or ?

    01:00:43|
    Ever found yourself at the mercy of a car repair bill? I was too... until I learned something powerful. Tag someone who needs to hear this! Last week, my car's engine light turned on, and I was quoted $5,000 for repairs. 😳 But instead of panic, I reached out for help in my community. With the right resources and some guidance, I managed to fix it for just $300! It's incredible how necessity pushes us to learn new skills. I never thought I’d be doing mechanic work, but here I am! The best part? We’re all in this together. Community isn’t just local; it’s global. When we share knowledge, we empower each other. What skills have you learned from necessity? Let's keep this conversation going! revolutionchurch.cominstagram.com/revolutionchurch94x.com/Revolution_199www.youtube.com/@RevolutionBroadcastinghttps://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=7FXFBB8PSWEEC&source=url#CommunitySupport #DIYMechanics #LearningTogether #Gratitude #CarRepair

    Ever had a car problem that felt like the end of the world? I just faced a $6,000 repair bill. Here's what I learned:🚗 Tag someone who needs to hear this!Life threw me a curveball when my car went into limp mode right after my kids returned from a great trip to the Grand Canyon. With a check engine light flashing and a hefty repair estimate looming, panic set in. But here's the twist: I reached out for help and got connected with a mechanic who guided me to fix it for just $300 instead! This experience taught me the importance of community support and resourcefulness. Instead of spiraling into debt, I took control and learned something new—how to fix my car. Life isn't always easy, but it’s all about finding solutions and leaning on each other. Have you ever faced a financial scare? What did you do? Let’s share our experiences and support one another in this crazy ride called life!
