I‘m not very religious but I feel the author offers some very practical advice here, much of it based on humbling experiences from her own life. It‘s still hard to believe the scathing remarks she was subjected to simply because she called for compassion.

I‘ve been listening to this a chapter a day for the last few weeks and enjoyed it. As @Lcsmcat said it‘s more of a memoir than an instruction manual but I liked the stories. I‘m almost always interested in stories of women in power and how they got there. I wish she would do an update for the year 2025.

Lcsmcat Wouldn‘t that be awesome?!?! 8mo

More a memoir than an instruction manual, but a heartening and inspiring book for our times. #BeBrave Thanks for coming along for the ride @kspenmoll @Deblovestoread @Bookwormjillk

Bookwormjillk I just listened to the chapter about driving in the fog this morning and liked it. I agree with you though- more memoir than how to. 8mo

How‘s everyone doing with this? I‘m six chapters in, and I think the title might have been more accurate if it were Learning to Be Brave. I‘m enjoying reading about Bishop Budde‘s journey, but I was hoping for more practical advice, I guess. Thoughts? #BeBrave @kspenmoll @Deblovestoread @Bookwormjillk

Bookwormjillk Oh my gosh I completely forgot 🤦‍♀️ I‘ll start tonight 8mo
Deblovestoread Still haven‘t started. Hoping for this week. 8mo

Bookwormjillk Ok I finished chapter 1 and am surprised she was allowed anywhere near Trump this time around. Not complaining though! 8mo
Lcsmcat @Bookwormjillk T may think he‘s Henry VIII, but he‘s not the head of the Episcopal church! 😂 He had no choice in the matter. 8mo
Bookwormjillk @Lcsmcat yeah I‘m just surprised he showed up 8mo

I‘d just like to take a moment to share a lil‘ picture I took of a small misprint in this morning‘s liturgy at my church 😆

I‘m sure it was completely unintentional; our admin likely copy/pasted the first Sunday of Lent liturgy from last year and didn‘t notice there were adjustments needed, but still. It made me chuckle.

marleed Oh, I bet that made some MAGA folks irritable. 8mo
Lcsmcat How I wish! 8mo
BarbaraJean @marleed The MAGA folks are few and far between at our church! The music director, who was leading this section, just skipped the names, which was probably the best way to handle it. @Lcsmcat I know, right? My husband commented “I'd rather pray for Biden anyway.“ 😆 Although for my own mental and spiritual health, I need to pray for both... 8mo

Lcsmcat @BarbaraJean We quit naming him during Trump 1, just pray for the “leaders of the nation and the world.” 8mo
BarbaraJean @Lcsmcat We tend to fluctuate back and forth between using specific names and using the more general “leaders“ language. I have a hard time with hearing his name, especially in prayer. Even more so when I'm on the schedule to lead the Prayers of the People! The specific name is difficult for me, but it also helps me exercise the muscle of compassion, which I need so deeply—especially right now. 8mo
Lcsmcat @BarbaraJean Yes, we all need to exercise those right now! But that doesn‘t make it easy. I‘m reading Bishop Budde‘s book right now. 8mo
BarbaraJean @Lcsmcat It's needed but SO hard. I need to add her book to my TBR. Maybe by the time I clear some reading space in my schedule, there will be some library copies available!! 8mo

BarbaraJean @mcctrish I know, right? 8mo
marleed @BarbaraJean That makes me happy! My fear is that so many places of worship have given way to Christian Nationalism that it‘s become harder for those believing in the separation of church and state to find comfort there. 8mo
BarbaraJean @marleed The Christian Nationalism that is creeping into so many Christian spaces is heartbreaking to me (and is one of the reasons I don't regret leaving the evangelical spaces I was previously part of). I'm glad to be a member of an Episcopal church that is progressive in its theology and encourages people to THINK for themselves instead of telling them what to think. 8mo
