The fullest you is not a threat to God or the community. When we believe and operate that who we are and the things we find passion and belonging in add value every where we go. Let those freak flags fly, meaning, move in your authentic self and let love lead.

We continue our series in Romans to Chapter 10. Sauter shares how the idea of the rapture is wildly irresponsible to share with 11 year olds and how we read/process the Bible matters. Learning that this faith is in our breath and when we can name what we love it can make room for even more people.

Rebecca Rick is back! For some of us, returning to the Bible after deconstruction is exciting; it feels like a return Home. For others, returning to the Bible can be me…complex. This week Rick talks about one of the methods she uses when reading the Bible- a method she describes here as Finding The Jim. Listen as she walks us through spotting “The Jim” in tales from the Bible, St. Urho, and the patron St. Patrick.

Romans has a high priority on how a community is flourishing with one another, the earth and the communities around them. When everything is in the right place everyone and everything flourishes. Also Sauter talks on Romans 8:28 and how you interpret that verse deeply matters.
