Compass Podcast: Finding the spirituality in the day-to-day

[138] Faith and outrage: Jesus’ teachings in a polarized culture


Listen Later

We’re tackling the topic of living out our faith in a complex and often polarized world. Recently, the outrage sparked by the opening ceremonies of the Paris 2024 Olympics, particularly a controversial scene perceived to mock Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper,” has ignited debates and outraged responses.

We’ll explore how to express our faith authentically without adding to the division, drawing on examples from the teachings of Jesus, the early Christian community, and even a unique punk rock venue in Berkeley, California. Join us as we discuss how to adopt Christ-centered humility, build bridges, and embody the fruits of the Spirit in our public lives.
