For the session to be discussed on January 26, 2025

David Cassady

In this episode we discuss the importance of recognizing and celebrating individual gifts within the context of Christian community, emphasizing that every member’s gift is vital to the body of Christ. The conversation covers personal anecdotes, the undervaluation of non-traditional gifts in church settings, and the role of different communities, including the neurodivergent community, in enriching church life. Jaylyn shares a reflection on how the concept of ‘The Underdog’ aligns with Paul’s message about the indispensable nature of all parts of the body of Christ. The discussion concludes with a reflection on the church’s role, likening it to the human body, as presented in Rachel Held Evans’ and Barbara Brown Taylor’s writings.
