Embody Love, Mutuality, and Shared Purpose

At its core, religion, spirituality, and even politics seek a divine foundation of relationship. The Trinity encapsulates this essence—a profound gift of interconnectedness with God, self, others, and the world. It boldly proclaims that God embodies relationship itself. Jesus' path beckons us to embrace a way of living, loving, and relating that mirrors this divine interconnectedness. We, like the Trinity, exist in intrinsic relatedness, woven into a web of mutual interdependence.

The Trinity is a loving companionship, a divine community of friends. In this divine dance, love flourishes in relationship, and joy is found in shared delight. The joy of two persons united in common purpose mirrors the ultimate happiness of the Trinity.

Genuine love flows effortlessly between those who share common values and passions. Together, they spark innovation, creativity, and courage. This is the essence of true community, as Jesus affirmed: where two or three gather, new possibilities emerge.

A community rooted in the Trinity treats each member as a subject, never an object. Just as the Trinity knows and loves each person intimately, we are called to relate subject to subject, fostering trust, mutuality, and empowerment. This transformative dynamic has the potential to reshape relationships at every level—personal, societal, and international.

Belief in a Trinitarian God demands a radical shift in how we perceive and engage with one another. It challenges power dynamics, gender roles, and the very essence of friendship. Yet, throughout history, this Trinitarian vision has often remained theoretical rather than practical.

Embracing the Trinitarian model of God calls us to embody love, mutuality, and shared purpose in all our relationships. It challenges us to transcend ego-driven power struggles and embrace the transformative power of interconnected community.
