When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self.

How Change Comes
“Perseverance is not a long race; it’s many short races one after the other.” – Walter Elliot
When looking at the problems we face, it’s easy to become overwhelmed like the children at the end of the book “Cat in the Hat”
We feel like the mess around us is ‘so deep, and so wide, and so far and so tall, there’s no way we can clean at all.’ And we end up giving up.
I often felt that way serving in a poor community in Jackson, Mississippi. The disparities in access to healthcare, nutrition, education, transportation and even at times drinking water.
But coming together with other good people working together across race, class, religion and partisan politics, with organizations such as Working Together Jackson and Working Together Mississippi we were able to make incremental change.
We picked one small part of the problem, worked on it, and then worked on the next, in succession. Together we expanded healthcare access for women and children, fixed some of the roads, saw a failing school district improve and took down the Confederate Flag.
Not all at once, but one after another continuously striving, persevering through setbacks and disappointment.
That’s how change comes.

Send us a text How Do We Meet Our Needs? “The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” - Matthew 4:3 Just before Jesus began his public ministry, he was led into the wilderness where he was forced to face three types of temptations that are common to humanity. Surrendering to any of these would have derailed him being who God called him to be. The first temptation is seemingly so harmless that that we often fail to recognize it when we are facing it. Jesus was hungry. He both wanted and needed to eat. We need food, clothing, shelter, emotional and physical support and intimacy. We all get hungry for these at times. There’s no shame or sin in that. They are human necessities. The challenge we face is to resist the temptation to take short cuts that compromise our values, dignity, or the dignity of another person in order to meet those needs. Like Jesus, we trust our footsteps to God’s pathway and trust that our needs will be fulfilled the right way at the right time. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

Send us a text There’s Still Time for Love to Save Us “Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.” - Joel 2:13 The prophet Joel warned the people of his day of the pending calamity they would suffer if they continued down the road they were following. The same type of warning applies to many of us today, and it certainly applies to all of us collectively as humanity. Our lack of care for the world around us, our lack of care for each other, will lead us to more hardship and suffering. But even in the midst of this dire warning, there was yet a seed of hope. If we sincerely have a change of heart that leads us to changing the way we treat each other and the way we live, there’s still time for us to advert these disasters. There’s still time for love to save us. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

Send us a text “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them.” - from Matthew 6:1 If we are practicing our religion and spirituality in order to look good or to win the respect of others, then we are doing it for the wrong reasons. Alternatively, Jesus shows us a spirituality where our prayer simply becomes our way of life. Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, (Live life with awe, wonder and trust.) your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. (Never give up the hope the world as it should be.) Give us today our daily bread. (Stay centered and focused in the needs of the moment.) And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. (Practice Forgiveness) And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil. (Always seek to be in the right places, doing the right things, for the right reasons) This kind of righteousness doesn’t need the affirmation of anyone. I’m Horace McMillon.

Send us a text Let’s Give Up Injustice for Lent “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness[a] will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.” Isaiah 58:5-12 I’m Horace McMillon.

Send us a text “So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us…” from 2 Corinthians 5:20 Many Christians around the world participate in a season called Lent. The season lasts 40 days and concludes with the execution, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Lent begins with an earnest self examination. If it is true that God appeals to the world through the people who claim to know and love God, how we carry and conduct ourselves matters. Are we showing up with God’s joy, recognizing and being grateful for all the good that is? Are we showing up with God’s hope, tenaciously holding on to the belief in a better tomorrow no matter how difficult things are today? Are we showing up with God’s faith, stubbornly fighting through every hardship unwilling to bow down to despair or injustice? Most importantly are we showing up with God’s love, for ourselves, for our neighbors near and far, for the world and all creation? How are we showing up in the world? I’m Horace McMillon.

Send us a text “No, Lord,” Peter declared. “I have never eaten anything that our Jewish laws have declared impure and unclean.” But the voice spoke again: “Do not call something unclean if God has made it clean.” - Acts 10:14-15 Peter and many of the earliest Christians didn’t believe Gentiles could really be Christians unless they were willing to live under customs, traditions, laws, and understanding of Scripture that they already had. Peter’s vision showed him that God has other plans. Many Christians both over the centuries and today have the same mindset. They think these other folks aren’t really Christians if they don’t think, believe, and act as they do. This century’s Gentile Christians are LGBTQ Christians. Many Christians believe these folks must be excluded from the community. But God has other plans. Don’t call anyone unclean who God has made clean. God’s love is bigger than that. #60secondsofhope #dailydevotion #dailyinspiration #dailydevotional #love #inclusion #inspiration #growth #positivity #positivemindset #personaldevelopment Support the show…

Send us a text Give to Everyone: Stop Practicing Selective Compassion “Give to everyone who ask of you, and if anyone takes away what is yours, do not ask for it back again” - Luke 6:30 This verse comes from the middle of some of Jesus’s most challenging teachings. Jesus is challenging us to think, act, and react differently. The sequence ends with Jesus’s declaration that we will experience our highest level of wellbeing if we do. So why give to everyone? To avoid making ourselves the judge. To share the mercy, grace and forgiveness that we’d like to receive ourselves. It’s easy for us to help people who we feel deserve it… people in bad situations through no fault of their own. If we have any love in our hearts, it’s easy to help folk like this. But what about people who find themselves in bad situations largely because of their lack of character and judgment, because of their poor choices and bad habits? Our well of empathy for them tends to run dry. We can’t be who or what Jesus we are calls us to be until we stop practicing selective compassion and start practicing compassion universally. #60secondsofhope #compasion #empathy #growth #inspiration #positivity #positivemindset #personaldevelopment #Luke #sermononthemount #dailydevotional #dailyinspiration #dailydevotion Support the show…
Send us a text Liberation Prayer* Fill us with the joy they tried to steal. Fill us with the hope they tried to kill. Informed by the history they tried to hide, may our feet You always guide. May our love always defeat our hate. And in doing what’s right may we never hesitate. Give us the patience and determination to persevere, regardless of victory looking far or near. Give us ears to hear each other’s stories and eyes to see each other’s pain. Give us hands and hearts to bandage each other and tongues to encourage and sustain. Finally we pray that whatever the challenge, and even in loss, You grant us the grace and faith to be able to say, it is well with our souls** as we carry our cross. We pray this in your name, God who sees us.*** Amen. *The Greek word often translated as salvation is also correctly translated as deliverance or liberation ** My father’s favorite hymn. *** Hagar’s name for God as pointed out by Delores Williams Support the show…
Send us a text What Kind of Progress Do We Want? “American progress is described by problem, paradox, and irony… We must continue to ask what counts as American progress.” - Nichole Renee Phillips There are some people who just want their seat at the table and a fair chance to play. There are others who want to flip the table over and demand we play a different game. There are some who insist that everyone should have a chance to enter the race. There are others who go further and insist that everyone should at least have running shoes and get to start at the same time. But maybe, just maybe, we shouldn’t set life up as a game where there are winners and losers. Maybe we shouldn’t treat life as a race where a handful of winners get a medal and the rest get nothing at all. We need to think very carefully about what kind of progress we want. We have to develop the moral imagination to envision a different kind of world, and the dogged determination to pursue it with everything we have. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

Send us a text ‘If they can make penicillin out of mouldy bread, they can sure make something out of you.’ – Muhammad Ali Some of us listening to this or reading this right now are not in a good place. We’ve made mistakes and poor choices. We’ve sometimes acted in bad faith with a lack of discipline, integrity, and courage. Perhaps some of the good people in our lives have distanced themselves from us or walked away from us entirely. Perhaps the people we have surrounded ourselves with are just as broken and dysfunctional as we are. There is no human life that is beyond God’s redemption. None of us are too far gone. God works for the good in everything for those who love God and align themselves with God’s purposes and intentions. (Romans 8:28) The same love that saved the sinner hanging on the cross is available to us. The same power that raised Jesus from the grave lives in us. (Romans 8:11) It is this power that will transform us and eventually transform our circumstances. Certain doors may be closed and certain opportunities lost. But God offers new possibilities and purposes for us as God’s grace renews us daily. (Lamentations 3:22-23) Don’t give up on yourself. God hasn’t given up on you. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

Send us a text “I requested of my Lord and Master to give me a work, I did not care how mean it was, only to try and see how good I would do it.” - George Liele What if we were to pursue excellence every day? Whatever our gifts, whatever our calling, whatever our opportunities, imagine doing everything we can to make the most of them. How would our lives change? How would our communities change? How might this world change? Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. (Ecclesiastes 9:10). And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; (Colossians 3:23) It’s only when we be our best, give our best, do our best, that we can see the best outcomes in our lives and in the world around us. Let’s see how good we can be? I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

Send us a text “Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.” - Oprah Winfrey The writer of Proverbs said that as a person thinks in their heart, so they are. (Proverbs 23:7). Even if a selfish, greedy person were to put on a lavish banquet, the meal would not be worth eating. There is no joy there. One of my favorite miracle stories is that of Jesus feeding the multitude. In the Gospel of John’s telling of the story, Jesus was concerned about the wellbeing of the crowd and wanted them to bit to eat in order to sustain them. He has the disciples ask the crowd if anyone had something they could share. Only one little boy offered up his lunch. Rather than complain about what he didn’t have and what others didn’t do, Jesus gave thanks for what he had and began to share with everyone. Then a miracle took place and the whole crowd had more than enough to eat. I don’t know if the miracle was God miraculously multiplying the food, or if the miracle was the change of heart the crowd had watching Jesus and the boy- causing everyone to share. I just know all our miracles begin with generosity and gratitude. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.
