Happy Friday Storied!
It was lovely connecting with you all last night, thanks for being flexible with the change in time. We might be experimenting with different times more coming up so be on the look out for that.
If you’re new here, welcome! We hope you find Storied is a safe and generous space to be yourself spiritually, emotionally, intellectually— and maybe even make a few friends a long the way.
You are always welcome to comment below with your thoughts, connect over in our Storied Facebook group, or hit reply to this email and get in touch directly. We love hearing from you all (even when we sometimes don’t always get a chance to respond!)
Enjoy this week’s issue!

Ambassadors of Free-ING Speech
By Chris Llewellyn
“Everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial.”— 1 Corinthians 10:26
“Gentle words bring life and health; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.”— Proverbs 15:4
Anyone else finding it ironic that the Christian community that brought us “ban Harry Potter” and “put Christ back in Starbucks” have become champions of free speech? 🤣
Free speech is the conversation in the zeitgeist since Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter and (some) Christians seem delighted. The Babylon Bee is surely gearing up for a blitzkrieg of objectionable memes.
