Theme or Focus: Defining Righteousness
💭 Question of the Week
What is righteousness?
Tasha’s Takeaway:
We began our very first study hall with a question that seems simple at first but quickly revealed its depth. Righteousness isn’t just about being “right” — it’s about being aligned: in thought, word, and deed. For some, it meant integrity and truth. For others, it meant living in such a way that reflects love, justice, and compassion. Together, we realized righteousness isn’t a destination — it’s a daily practice.
✨ Highlights
Top Insights:
Righteousness and self-righteousness aren’t the same — one is rooted in humility and alignment; the other, in ego and performance.
It’s possible to be right and still be out of order if your intent or delivery causes harm.
True righteousness often shows up quietly — in how we treat others when no one is watching.
Shared Resources:
A reflection on Matthew 5:6 (“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness...”)
A short article on moral alignment and integrity in leadership
Song recommendation: “Righteous” by Mo’ Def (for lyrical reflection)
🔄 Accountability Corner
Last Week’s Intentions:
This was our very first study hall, so we didn’t have a previous check-in — but we did start with the shared intention to show up consistently and build community through accountability and shared growth.
This Week’s Focus:
Notice where you naturally align with your values — and where you don’t.
Practice awareness instead of judgment when you catch yourself out of alignment.
Commit to one act of quiet righteousness this week (something that feels right even if no one sees it).
Journal Prompt:
Where in your life are you being invited to live your values more fully, not just believe in them?
Resource Share:
Members are encouraged to share one resource or quote that helps them reflect on righteousness.
📣 Announcements
Next week’s study hall will build on tonight’s conversation and explore: Righteousness as the foundation for our personal and professional systems.
Weekly lecture/workshop series starting in November will introduce a new framework for aligning intent with action.
🕊️ Closing Reflection
“Righteousness begins where performance ends — when your actions flow naturally from who you truly are.”
This first study hall set the tone for what’s to come: honest dialogue, gentle accountability, and a shared pursuit of alignment.
Until next time…
