Glimpsing the Heavens, Resisting on Earth

Listen Later

Christopher Mack explores how Stephen’s life of re-telling God’s Story stripped from our lens of the myth of redemptive violence allows us to behold Divine Love and resist the real world oppression of death-dealing forces and their stories. [Acts 7:54-60]

 

Reflection Questions:Glimpsing the Heavens, Resisting on Earth

  1. What’s a realistic way for you to practice the presence of God this week?
  2. How do you respond to the invitation to love ourselves and others, by practicing self-reflection, self-control, self-development, self-care, and self-giving rather than self-indulgence?
  3. Where in your life have you been tempted to imitate the violence of someone who has wronged you, rather than imitate and reflect God’s generative Love?
