What to Do about Locusts? | May 31, 2026

Mary Oliver has written about them. Roald Dahl, too. On their own, folks sometimes see grasshoppers and find them wondrous, whimsical, or even cute. What if there are hundreds of thousands of them, though? What if they threaten to collapse your whole food system? In the Bible, the species of grasshopper known as "locust" are regularly discussed. They aren't just an insect, then. They are a symbol of collapse. In that way, the Bible has lots of wisdom about what we should do when we face the reality of collapse, whether it comes in the shape of a locust or something else. Join us this Sunday as we think about finding our way to liberation when things seem to be falling apart, when the locusts are swarming our lives.
