In a world enamored with violent power over others, ensuring security for only some, Christopher Mack shares an alternative empire defying wisdom from those on the margins. [2 Kings 5:1-14]

Reflection

• Where might you glimpse God in the surprises, setbacks, and ordinary moments of your life?
• How might you listen to the wisdom of the marginalized this week?
• How can you mirror Jesus’ relationship to power and the powerless?
