(July 2026) “I am more than one thing: Honoring our many identities.”
In her TED talk, “The Danger of a Single Story,” Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie names this truth: We are much more than one thing. All of us have intersecting identities, roles and responsibilities. Beyond our ethnicity, the color of our skin or our birthplace, we may also be a sister, a mother, a daughter, a friend. We have various vocations, hobbies and joys.
In this session, we’ll explore how the multiple identities of several women in Scripture shape their faithful living. Esther is not just a queen, but a niece, as well as part of an oppressed community of faith. Ruth is so much more than just a widow. Mary Magdalene has more identities than can fit within the allowed word count of this paragraph. So do you!
