Summary of Ordinary Life for July 21, 2024
* * *
Dear Ones -
I am so excited to announce that on Sunday, September 22, Dr. Jacqui Lewis will be spending the day with us. There will be more details to follow but I did want you to know so you could save the date. The theme of her time with us will be
Toxic Politics and Fierce Love
“Fierce Love” is the title of her most recent book.
The title I gave the teaching I offered this week is -
Embracing the Storms that Embrace Us
We live in stormy times. I begin with the fact that Jesus, in his teaching, asserted from the beginning that what he was doing was going to cost him his life. The assumption that we can avoid turmoil by “following him” is a mistaken one. The foundational tenet of the early Jesus movement was radical inclusivity. This is something our culture still has problems with and enacting it causes trouble.
That’s a brief summary of this week’s time in Ordinary Life.
The audio/video versions of the talk has some differences from the text I spoke from. You can find the text of the talk, the presentation slides and links to the audio and video version of the talk using the links below.
