Every reading of the text offers each us us an opportunity to align or realign with God's heart. We must always be the first converts to our interpretation.

and (re)Aligning with God: Reading Scripture for Church and World (Kindle only $2.99) <a href="https://amzn.to/3Mu1gtx">https://amzn.to/3Mu1gtx</a>
Here are some questions for reflection:
Where do I struggle to align or realign my life with the message of Jesus?
What are the blindspots in which I’m not the first convert to the texts that I study?
Where do I need to be reminded to put into action the clear teaching of Scripture?
What is really holding me back from living out the Word?

Years into a success ministry as a United Methodist pastor, Ben found himself struggling with alcoholism. Listen in as he shares a powerful testimony about the transformational power of 12 steps. We don't merely talk about alcoholism but about the deeper roots of addiction. Addiction isn't really even the problem per se; addiction is a solution but its a bad solution to even deeper problems.

He draws from personal experience as well as from his expertise in communication theory to help us to love our immigrant neighbors more effectively.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p><p class="p2" style="color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wilfredo Alvarez, Ph.D. is Associate Professor of Communication and Media at Utica University in Utica, New York. His teaching and research focus on communication issues related to social identity (i.e., race, social class, and immigration). Specifically, he is interested in how micro (personal relationships), meso (groups and organizations) and macro-level (popular culture) communication practices (e.g., pervasive discourses of race and gender) are deployed institutionally to create, maintain, and resist systems of oppression, discrimination, and social inequity in U.S. society. He primarily teaches courses in intercultural communication, interpersonal communication, and organizational communication. </span></p><p class="p2" style="color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";
