In this Mother’s Day sermon, Rev. Tim examines the nature of Jesus’ message: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.”

Rather than a conditional threat, Tim reframes this as a call to radical advocacy rooted in the “Spirit of Truth.” Drawing on the maternal imagery of medieval mystics and the intellectual legacy of “Veritas,” this message explores what it means to hold a deep reverence for God in spaces where organized religion is often viewed with suspicion, spaces such as LGBTQ communities and progressive activism.

Rev. Tim argues that following Jesus isn’t about checking your mind at the door, but about marrying heart and intellect to defend the marginalized. Whether through the lens of a mother’s unconditional protection or the pursuit of social justice, we are invited to become advocates for a world that desperately needs truth.
