Despite the censorship and controversy, Tokyo Revengers has been an anime (and now manga) that have taken my world by storm. I am obsessed with the tenacity of Takemichi Hanagaki and the absolute coolness of the Tokyo Manji Gang. This show has a ton that it can teach us as Christians, but we're focusing on a surprising thing it does despite a serious failing of the Bechdel test.

In this nerdy sermon, we're going to take a look at how Tokyo Revengers is doing the important work of dismantling discrimination. It presents us with people that we likely have preconceived notions about - and then it smashes those notions into the dirt.

Checkpoint Church is the place where all people from all walks of life are always welcomed with loving arms. We strive to steer clear from the modern temptations of being too ‘churchy’ or judgmental. We are the safe space for those who haven’t felt welcomed by the church before.
