Liturgy – Jesus Centered
Leticia reflected on what it means for your church to be Jesus-centered, connecting her own story of finding a truly welcoming community with the challenge of embodying Jesus’ love in real, lived ways. Using the story of the woman caught in adultery from John 8, she highlighted Jesus’ relaxed presence, compassion, and refusal to condemn, contrasting that with how easily faith communities slip into judgment, certainty, and power-seeking. She emphasized that the sacred is found not only in Scripture but in everyday moments of connection, vulnerability, and shared humanity, and that following Jesus requires imagination, curiosity, and showing up for one another. Ultimately, she invited the community to measure everything—systems, actions, and interactions—by whether they look, sound, and smell like love.
