Saying yes to new experiences brings about radical equity.

Jonathan Williams unveils the final of Forefront Brooklyn's new core values: Radical Equity.

Same is safe, different is dangerous -- or so the saying goes. We're afraid of new experiences because they take away our control and power, but God's kin-dom only comes when we're able to say "yes" to that which feels different. Our faith should always evolve and feel a bit dangerous, and we can only bring about radical equity when we're willing to say "yes" to that which feels different.

This is the fourth sermon in our "Make A Joyful Noise" series.

HOW WE GOT HERE | "Organization"

What does church history tell us about organizing a church?

Sarah Ngu starts off our new series: How We Got Here. It begins with a closer historical look at the organizational structures of the church. Sarah touches on the commissioning of deacons in the book of Acts and shares her personal story as a queer person growing up in the conservative church and what it means for them to be appointed as a deacon for the first time as an openly queer person.
