In this time of uncertainty, ambiguity, and loss what do we do with the natural feelings that emerge within?  Do we ignore them? Shove them under the carpet? The book of Lamentations in the Bible, reminds us that a healthy spirituality is honest with our feelings and that God is a safe place to be who we are.  All of us is welcome in the presence of God and there needs to be space created to mourn and express feelings of loss.

This week, Jake discusses the idea of liberation and how that relates to Hope as we begin our church's season of "Advocating Hope."

John Mark and Jake couldn't get together to record this week because of physical distancing, so we pulled out an episode from the vault that was recorded but never released.  This is an interesting conversation about Cain and Abel and what we can learn about faith through this story.  

Listen to a brief conversation with John Mark and Jake about the current state of affairs or city, nation, and planet are facing with the spread of the coronavirus.  When this time of ambiguity and uncertainty is over, how can this pandemic make us a more loving, kind, and compassionate people.  What if these has forced us a society to slow-down and re-orient ourselves towards a healthy framework?
