Life Recovered

On this weeks episode, Garrett and Tamara discuss RE 189 and Sarah's interview. They reflect on the story of the fisherman which was one of their favorite RE intros ever.

Things take an interesting turn when they go into the Kavanaugh hearings and discuss the #metoo movement. To top it all off, Garrett & Tamara say nice things about a very cool person.

Tam was touched by the following and wanted to include it in our show notes. Garrett agrees with all of this and signs his virtual name as well.

"As a leader and author, pastor and teacher, let me just be positively clear where I stand on a few things. In the most outrageous twilight zone ever, these issues have now become "partisan" but to me, these are purely a matter of my faith which compels me. I will always champion a working faith ethic that:

.

Believes women.

.

Condemns the pervasive, patriarchal power structures that keep women silenced, underpaid, underrepresented, exploited, denigrated, shamed, and abused.

.

Names, repents from, resists, and actively fights white supremacy in all its forms, structures, systems, language, and evil practices.

.

Actively resists children being held in detainment apart from their parents at the border as a wicked, punitive, unconscionable political strategy.

.

Refuses to accept the dehumanization of immigrants, refugees, Muslims, Mexicans, and brown and black bodies everywhere.

.

Affirms the LGBTQ community, defends their rights, and cherishes their humanity.

.

Believes we have a better story to write together than the divided, contentious, fear-based example we see in culture right now. We can do better. We are better than this.

.

The thing is, this is the only way I understand the gospel. I cannot come to any other conclusion than this path laid out for us by Jesus. Anything other than a radically inclusive faith that honors the dignity of every person makes no sense to me. I can't find any other road through my faith than one that condemns patriarchy, misogyny, sexism, racism, homophobia, ableism, abuse, and white supremacy. NOTHING ELSE MAKES SENSE. This is who Jesus is and what He came to do. I can't say it any plainer. He came to loose the chains of injustice and set the captives free. Full stop."
