Salt, Light, and the Upside-Down Kingdom

Have you ever felt like it is your specific job to set everyone else straight? We often mistake being the ​“salt of the earth” with a duty to act as the morality police or to fiercely guard religious traditions. But when we look closely at the life of Jesus, we see Him constantly turning those very traditions on their heads — not to be rebellious, but to reach the people on the margins.

We explore the tension of what it really means to preserve the world around us. What if our calling isn’t to enforce rules, but to preserve the inherent worth of every person we meet? We dig into the difficult reality that salt cannot do its work without contact. You cannot influence a world that you refuse to touch, even if that contact threatens your reputation.

This conversation invites you to reconsider your impact. It challenges you to stop forcing your own ​“flavour” on others and instead listen well enough to bring out the beauty God has already placed within them. It is a call to move beyond judgment and into a life of restorative love.
