Teresa Graham+FollowNotre-Dame’s Miracle Statue ReturnNotre-Dame just got back its Saint Thomas statue, and it’s kind of wild—the statue survived the 2019 fire because it was out for restoration days before the blaze!

Talk about a comeback story for the ages! #Religion #NotreDame #Paris50Share
Matthew Barnes+FollowCrenshaw neighbors unite for real changeCrenshaw just witnessed something powerful—hundreds of neighbors came together not just for free essentials, but for a real sense of hope and connection. Black Men United and People’s Independent Church of Christ, joined by Judge Greg Mathis, didn’t just hand out appliances and toiletries—they listened to what people actually need. Many volunteers were formerly incarcerated men now leading the way in giving back. This wasn’t just about charity; it was about rewriting the story for our community. What would you like to see next—more job training, mental health support, or regular grocery giveaways? Let’s talk about what Crenshaw truly needs. #Religion #Crenshaw #CommunityUnity00Share
Teresa Graham+FollowNorth Nashville’s legacy gets a new chapterMary’s Old Fashioned Pit BBQ was more than a restaurant on Jefferson Street—it was a community anchor for decades. Now, with Mary’s doors closed, Mt. Zion Church is stepping in to keep that spirit alive by buying the building and turning it into a hub for outreach and support. Imagine the same spot that once brought neighbors together over BBQ now serving as a center for food, clothing, and resources for North Nashville. How do you feel about historic spaces being reimagined to meet today’s needs? What memories do you have of Mary’s or Jefferson Street? #Religion #NorthNashville #CommunityLegacy00Share
Dr. Robert Barnes+FollowWhy St. Joske’s still rings in downtown SAThe bells of St. Joseph’s Church echo through downtown San Antonio every day, a living reminder of how a determined community can stand up to big business. Decades ago, parishioners refused to let Joske’s department store bulldoze their beloved church—even when the archbishop was ready to sell. Their passionate stand saved this Gothic Revival gem, now wedged between the Shops at Rivercenter. Step inside during its open hours and you’ll find stunning stained glass, soaring ceilings, and a piece of San Antonio’s history that nearly vanished. How do you feel about preserving old landmarks in the face of urban growth? #Religion #SanAntonio #StJosephsChurch00Share

The store’s still run by the Teitels, and it’s a total time capsule (with a Star of David mosaic at the door). Proof that food—and family—can break all the rules and still thrive! #Religion #NYCStories #FamilyBusiness00Share

Turns out, we all still matter, even when we’re half-asleep on the couch. Anyone else relate? #Religion #Aging #Purpose120Share

John Nelson+FollowWhy Carlos King Really Left RHOACarlos King, the mastermind behind The Real Housewives of Atlanta, didn’t leave because of drama—he left because he felt a bigger calling!
