In this final sermon before moving into a permanent community space, Teopixqui Dez reflects on how a small gathering became a movement\u2026 and what it means to carry that momentum into a new chapter. Continuing the series on living a PACK Life, Dez explores two powerful themes: the idea that \u201cpacifism is the privilege of the protected\u201d and the concept of Kairos\u2026 those pivotal moments that shape us, challenge us, and ultimately help us grow. Drawing from history, personal experience, and the stories of the congregation, he discusses the difference between passive peace and meaningful action, the lessons hidden inside life\u2019s hardest moments, and why community gives us the strength to transform pain into purpose. This sermon also marks a milestone in the church\u2019s journey as the community prepares to leave the space where it began and open the doors to its new home.
