Sunday Means Embracing

Carolyn looks at five elements of Sabbath rest – the spiritual, physical, emotional, intellectual and social.

If God turned intentional ceasing from work into a holy activity, then we ought to ask how that decision and action impact our work, as well.

Carolyn introduces the topic of a Sunday God for a Sunday People. She approaches it through systems thinking and particularly connects Sunday to empowering us to live in a universal system of relationships.

In today’s program Carolyn hears Jesus saying, “I know what the traditional view is regarding the commandments, but in God’s Kingdom we do thing differently!”

We Americans often have a type of love/hate or even distrustful or resentful relationship with our legal system. In today’s session we will ask an even more controversial question: “Just how important is God’s law anymore?”

The beatitudes provide the means for us to not only be Christ’s disciples, but especially for us to be authentic salt and light in our worlds of daily work.

The 8th Beatitude tells us to expect persecution. In today’s broadcast Carolyn Schoenborn addresses the Who, What, When, Where and How of Christian Persecution in the Workplace.

Why has there always been so much violence in the history of the human race? Is it ever possible for the world to be at peace? This week we’re going to talk about what Walter Wink calls the Myth of Redemptive Violence and its significance for the Seventh Beatitude in Matthew 5:9: “Blessed are the peace-makers for they will be called the Children of God!”

This week we’re going to talk about the sixth beatitude (Matthew 5:8): “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God!” Obviously, this beatitude centers around one really big issue – purity. Carolyn Schoenborn says Scripture has a pretty amazing message about that!
