First Christian Church of Louisville Podcast

Rev. Dr. Caitlin Simpson continues our Lenten series by exploring how we can acknowledge and let go of the heavy things in life. This week we are cultivating calm and stillness and letting go of anxiety as a lifestyle. Where do you need more calm and stillness in your life, where do you need to let go of anxiety? Scripture: John 12:1-8

It is time to shout Hosanna and join the parade! Grab your palms! It is time to cultivate laughter and song and dance and to let go of our need to be in control or even try to look cool. Let us celebrate our king who enters humbly, with people shouting, full of hopes and dreams for a future shaped by justice, mercy and love!

Rev. Dr. Caitlin Simpson continues our Lenten series by exploring how we can acknowledge and let go of the heavy things in life.

This week we are cultivating a resilient spirit by letting go of numbness and powerlessness. We explore the story where Jesus is challenged to answer the oldest question, first explored in Job, why do bad things happen to good people? How does his answer centering around repentance help us to move away from numbness and feeling powerless and strengthen our spirit's ability to move in a world full of tragedy? How can repentance move us to forgiveness and life, away from simply perishing?

This week, we explore Jesus' protective image of God as a mother hen, where do you need God's protection these days? How can letting go of busyness and productivity as status and strength allow us to cultivate our ability to rest and play? How does the powerful protection of a loving mother help us to rest and play, part of whole-hearted and abundant life?
