The Pastor's Table

The Impact of Institutionalized Sin | *Special Series* Northern Seminary & Systemic Sin (Part 3) | PT 16

Listen Later

All creation is groaning under the burden of sin. 

Sin is much more than an individual's bad behavior. The insidious nature of sin has impacted every element of creation. That destructive nature of sin is found in all institutions and has harmed many. 

Many times institutions have found to be more interested in protecting and advancing “the mission” than actually caring for people. What if people actually were “the mission”?   

Discussion Questions: 

  1. How would you describe the burden of sin on the structures found in the world? 
  2. Where do see systems at work that create unintended but harmful results for those in the system? 
  3. Beth, Tara Beth, & Mark talked about how people can be wounded at the expense of propelling an institution’s mission. How have you seen this at play from your experience?

    4. Check out Mark’s new course on Seminary Now: Pastoral Ministry: Calling and Resilience.
