Jesus calls us the salt of the earth and the light of the world—but what if you've never quite believed those words were meant for you?

In this Summer Sabbath Series episode, we revisit Matthew 5:13–16 and reflect on what it means to be salt and light in a world that often dims people's dignity. Together, we'll explore how God's invitation isn't simply to shine, but to recognize and lift up the light in one another. Join Sister Leslie for a thoughtful reflection on faith, belonging, justice, and the beloved community.
