  • Advent: Joyfully Anticipating Love
    Dr. Meryl Herr joins Jasmine in our virtual studio for The Call to Love Experience LIVE. Meryl is the Director of Research & Resources at the Max De Pree Center for Leadership at Fuller Theological Seminary, and a contributing essayist and Project Lead of De Pree Center’s Advent Journal, Keeping Watch.
    This episode was recorded during week 2 of Advent. The communal conversation is centered around the beauty of the season and digs into Jasmine's essay in the De Pree Center Advent Journal, "Joyfully Anticipating Love."
    Centering Scripture: Mark 13:32-37 MSG & NIV
    "Oriented by Hope" by Dr. Meryl Herr https://depree.org/oriented-by-hope/
    "Joyfully Anticipating Love" by Jasmine Bellamy https://depree.org/joyfully-anticipating-love/
    Shout out to @brian_mclaren! Here’s the full quote mentioned in our conversation: “Whatever Christianity was supposed to be it was supposed to be about love. What would a system look like that was designed to help people become the most loving version of themselves. This is our invitation to reimagine the systems that we’ve inherited to produce a different result.”
