• “God has been active in the past, is active in the present, and will be active for future generations.”
• Joshua 4
• 1 Corinthians 11:24-26
• “We don’t think fondly of Jesus as if that’s the end of His story, but it’s this calling of Jesus to mind when we remember [in communion].”

• Deuteronomy 6
• Psalm 77:11
• Psalm 111:3-5
• “It’s this mutual spiritual practice: It’s God speaking into our lives, us speaking into the lives of those around us, and me reminding myself of who God is and HIs actions.”
• “When you start thinking about spiritual disciplines, you can’t actually do them without memory.”
• Jeremiah 31:33-35
• Episode 43: May They Be One
