When cycles of fear and injustice finally break, what follows isn’t silence —i t’s a song. Judges 5 bursts with celebration as Deborah sings of freedom and new beginnings. In baptism we do the same: we declare that our old identity is gone, and our new one — rooted in God’s compassion, grace, and patience — has begun. This Sunday, celebrate the sound of freedom as stories are sung, waters are stirred, and lives are made new.
