I don’t like being in front of a camera; I avoid it in fact. (Yes, I know the irony of saying that and being the woman who sent half-naked photos of herself through the Twitterverse earlier this year.) So, when my friend John-Marc Ormechea (otherwise known as @EpicTillich on Twitter), asked me to talk with him via Zoom my response was: hell no! Nah-ah. No way. Hard pass. But what I said was: “uh, sure.” And I mustered up all the courage in my 140 pound frame and sat with John-Marc and talked about my journey in Christ, Martin Luther (#swoon), and Liturgy as a beautiful feature of The Episcopal Communion. It was fun. I talk with my hands *a lot*. I choked up at one point (now you’ll know what I look like when I’m about to cry). I’m *VERY* animated; everything is right there on my face to see (good news: I’m a bad liar because of this animation).
Anyway, here is that video. And, all my gratitude to John-Marc Ormechea for asking me to talk to him about things that I’m passionate about. I’m beyond honored.
You can find John-Marc Ormechea here: https://epictillich.wordpress.com/ or on Twitter: @EpicTillich. You’ll blessed as I have been.
I finally watched this video interview yesterday. I’m not gonna lie, Lauren, one of my first thoughts was, ‘oh my gosh, she’s gorgeous!’ 🙂 I really appreciated your sharing your testimony, your love for Luther, and the presence of the gospel message in liturgy. It was a very thoughtful
and inspiring exchange. I hope you continue to share, because I learn a lot when you do.
Sabrina, thank you for taking the time to watch this video. I also appreciate your encouragement; it goes further than you may realize. I’m grateful for our interactions and learn a lot from you, too 🙂
