May 8, 2022 “Eyes on the Scarred Sacred”

Nichola Torbett is a spiritual seeker, gospel preacher, podcaster, writer, resistance fomenter, dog-walker, and nonviolent direct action trainer. Driven by her passion for both spiritual formation and social change, she co-founded Seminary of the Street, a training academy for love warriors, in 2009 and Second Acts, a liturgical direct action affinity group, in 2014.  She is co-editor of Resipiscence: a Lenten Devotional for Dismantling White Supremacy and a frequent contributor to The Word Is Resistance, a podcast from SURJ-Faith, as well as to enfleshed, radicaldiscipleship.net, and GEEZ magazine, for which she currently serves on the board.

In this sermon, she fearlessly tackles the enigmatic vision of the living but slaughtered lamb in Revelation (Revelation 7: 9-17) and finds guidance for approaching the real-world crises of today.
