After his baptism, Jesus continued his spiritual Pilgrimage in the wilderness. Wandering alone, he spent time in prayer and fasting as he sought clarity about the next steps in his ministry. His experience in the wilderness and the temptations he faced gave him insight into the obstacles we create that stifle our own spiritual formation. We are excited to be joined by Lola Davidson, Peer-to-Peer Manager at Covenant House LA, to discuss the Sleep Out event that Westwood UMC is participating in! Question to Consider – How, if at all, do you distinguish between pain and suffering? <a href= "http://www.theloftla.org/?fbclid=IwAR0eW0uH6w9wde4QbnOp-WXBgzwoiQKfLhAX--7DopUEOUOOoj9SO60Vq_I"> www.TheLoftLA.org</a>

Loft Gathering: The Practice of Feeling Pain

The Loft is a progressive Christian community that is unapologetically inclusive. If you're curious about what a socially and politically progressive Christianity looks like, this podcast is for you.

This podcast is the edited audio from our weekly Sunday gathering of people who are interested in following Jesus’ spiritual path of radical compassion.

Their are four values that inform and help form our community:

- Conversation is the center of our gatherings. We facilitate a conversational approach to thinking about and living out our faith together.

- Belonging defines who we are and aim to be. We are not isolated individuals but people who belong in divine grace.

- Compassion is God’s love in action. It is in serving and helping others – we actively take the good news out into our city and the world.

- Decolonization is our theological approach. We are committed to the ongoing work of decolonizing Christianity in order to better love and serve the world.
