Questioning Faith (Matthew 13:24-30)- Riana Shaw Robinson

Rev. Riana Shaw Robinson guest preaches for us on the parable of
the weeds, inviting us to wrestle with difficult texts and name
our feelings with challenging teachings of Jesus. What might the
parable of the weeds teach us about asking hard questions?
And how might God be expanding our understanding of goodness
as we face the reality of the harmful and the helpful living
in close relationship to each other?





Riana (she/her) is a preacher, pastor, and prophet who is
passionate about speaking the truth in love, offering a constant
invitation for people to see themselves as beloved, and providing
various ways to respond to the command to love God, self, and
neighbor. She is a mom of 4, East Bay Native, Oakland resident,
and Minister of Word and Sacrament in the Reformed Church in
America currently serving with Miriam Song's Church, which
centers the healing, wholeness, and flourishing of women of color
guided by the divine liberation embodied in the person of Jesus.
