Paying Ridiculous Attention to Jesus

Season 7 Episode 7 - THE WAYS OF JESUS: Why Our Weakness Is a Strength...Really!


Listen Later

Join Rick for the fourth episode of the new series—“THE WAYS OF JESUS.” We all have rutted narratives that emerge from our painful experiences. But Jesus tells us, over and over, that our un-rescued pain is beauty disguised as ugly. We see weakness as the unwelcome byproduct of pain. But in the Kingdom of God, real weakness is exposed as arrogance. Jesus’ opposes the “strength” of the Pharisees because they are arrogant, and arrogance is really a belief in, and a trust in, your own strength and resources over outside sources of strength and resource. Here we explore the mechanics of strength catalyzed by weakness.
