Jesus In This Mess

Have you found the truth? And if so, is there truth that you are missing? Or is your paradigm complete? In this week's episode, we explore the pursuit of truth and the risks of believing we are right.

In this episode, Jonathan references a story and a non-fictional piece that he wrote about this subject.

Does God ordain the particulars of our lives? Or does he let us make our messy way along? Or is it something in between? And what about the mess that we inherit from our ancestors? In this week's episode, we explore the ideas of for-ordination and free agency.

How do you see God? Has he met you where you are at? And in your seeking Him, have you discovered that he is more than you expected?

It is easy to divide the lovers of God by what they think they see in Him. But in reality, we are one thing: a mountain rising from the valley floor, our eyes turning upward toward the light.

Can we be reborn? And if so, can we be reborn again...and again? Is there a better us coming? And how do we try when we don't yet know, but merely believe that God is leading us?

Letting go of the need for human validation and approval while at the same time embracing the legitimate need for community and connection.

Discussing the things He asks of us.

Finding Jesus in places and ways that we might not expect.
