The goats don't think King David was used by God but that God was used by King David. Do you hear the echoes today?

When you're a goat but you need WiFi.

Marshmallow the goat often wonders what big feelings people in Scripture were experiencing? She wonders how those big feelings might make our ancestors of Faith more relatable today.

Marshmallow likes that lying down in green pastures isn't just something we need to think of in an afterlife, but something that is a part of our role as God's Creation here and now.

Meshach the goat wonders why it's hard for some folks to read Scripture in one hand and the newspaper in the other? She thinks if they did, Luke 6 might have some phrases like "Blessed are the hungry, for those who cut and underfunded SNAP will know fear".

Shad the goat heard that Jesus says the poor, meek, and merciful will be first. He's not sure why some Christians preach a prosperity Gospel or fly around on private planes.

Abendagoat thinks that using AI to help us humans relearn how to listen to the wisdom of Creation would bring us back into the Creator's intent for the world. He wonders how much we could gain from the wisdom of goats?

Lupe the goat is still shocked and appalled at the cutting of USAID. The meager assistance being given by the US government (<1% of the annual budget) wasn't enough, and cutting it will cost tens of thousands of lives annually. He's pretty sure that's not what Jesus would do.

Frieda the goat loves all things green, but mostly loves laying down to take breaks. She hopes we all remember Sabbath (rest) is an act of love and an act of resistance against systems that extract and demand far too much of us.

Paco the goat has always wondered, if humans are supposed to be stewards for the rest of Creation, how can they steward that which they don't know? How can they care for plants, fungi, mosses, animals, and insects whose names they don't even remember?

Billie knows the early goat gets the back deck. He also knows faith is a journey just like his daily walk to his favorite eating spot - the paths wind and weave and it's generally about the herd with which you're walking more than the destination. #ccdoc #goats #goatsky

Astrid wants to know how much growth would be affected if the Pension Fund actually divested from fossil fuels? Would the Pension Fund be open to how divestment could play into their goals of Safe, Smart, and Secure? She is sure we can partner together for a better future for our common home ❤️

Frieda the goat likes low places because Jesus taught that we should hang out with those who are downtrodden and marginalized.

Astrid thinks it's good the Disciples of Christ voted overwhelmingly in favor of opposing Project 2025 (GA-2515) and it's inconsistency with the Christ we know.

As a herd the goats know it's about the community, not the individual. The goats applaud the General Assembly for passing GA-2513 in favor of disability justice and inclusion within the ministries of the church.

Abendagoat likes the parable of the Gold Samaritan. He knows Jesus wants us to show mercy, and he hopes we listen to our indigenous siblings enough to recognize the call to mercy is not limited to human peoples, but inclusive of goats, all Creation, and even landscapes.

Marshmallow the goat knows God doesn't send floods as punishment despite what ancient myths may say. Instead she knows the good goatherd who takes on the big issues hurting people - like climate change, concentration of wealth in the powerful, and a lack of radical community.
July 8, 2025 at 7:01 PM
Paco the goat knows that Jesus wasn't just talking when he said the greatest commandments of loving God and loving neighbor are similar. Paco is pretty sure it's the absolute core of Christianity and a lot of American Christians need a refresher course.

Meshach the goat often finds it worthwhile to have silence and ponder deeply; She thinks perhaps that is one of the things that is missing most from those with wealth and power - they have everything, which is why they eschew and even fear the nothing.
July 6, 2025 at 3:04 PM
Shad and Lupe learned this week about the Good Samaritan. They hope we will learn to go forth and show mercy just as in Jesus' parable.

Benny the goat knows that the job of prophets and followers of Jesus remains the same regardless of the empire according to Walter Brueggemann, singing an alternative future to the empire. He hopes we all sing a brighter future today.

Minnie wants Congress to know if the climate change you're causing with this bill isn't warming up things fast enough for you, she has some good news about how this bill plays into what Matthew 25 says (not her interpretation) about taking food away from the hungry and healthcare away from the sick.
July 3, 2025 at 7:22 PM
Lupe the goat's favorite part of the Bible is the gospels. They make it pretty clear how to live a good life - with humility, service, and love; he hopes humans might someday learn this from their Jesus the way the goats have.
July 2, 2025 at 10:47 PM
Meshach the goat is fairly confident that as hard as those in power try to look away, climate change will impact them just as much as the rest of us. She also has hope for all us humans because the rest of the world is not turning back to the dark & dirty ages of fossil fuels like the US.
