When the Walls Shake: Finding Faithful Resistance in a Time of Crisis

Dear Holy Covenant family,

When the world trembles — from political upheaval to personal grief — how do we hold fast to hope? How do we remain rooted in compassion when everything feels like it’s shifting beneath our feet?

In my latest blog post, When the Walls Shake: Faithful Resistance, I reflect on the story of Paul and Silas in prison — how even in chains, their faith stirred the very foundations. It’s a story of defiant praise, sacred disruption, and the kind of hope that sings even in the dark.

We, too, are called to be that kind of hope. Not the kind that denies struggle, but the kind that resists despair. The kind that claps with the beat of justice and shakes loose what keeps others bound.

I hope you’ll take a moment to read the full reflection — and share it if it resonates with you. Let’s be a people whose love shakes walls, not builds them.

Peace and Blessings,

Rev. Christopher Czarnecki

Senior Pastor, Holy Covenant UCC

Let’s lift up Pastor Chris’s voice — and continue living our bold faith, everywhere. 🕊️
