  • 6. Freedom (Filled Lenten Series 4/7)

    This week we open up John 4, the Gospel from Year A Scrutiny readings. We talk on freedom, authenticity and the importance of this scripture in Jesus's ministry. We hope you love it! The guiding quotes are:

    • “Although he is ostracized because of His radical goodness and she because of her dubious reputation, they are nevertheless two pariahs meeting in the solitude of rejection. Shared rejection frees them to be themselves with one another beyond all social conventions. ‘Freedom’s just another word for nothing to lose’ bellowed the tragic rock star Janice Joplin. Solitude, rejection, and exhaustion: Jesus and the woman share the same yoke.” - Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis 
    • “...That we must ourselves become evangelists out of our experience of conversion.” - Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis 
    • John 4

    • 4. Entering into the Desert (Filled Lenten Series 2/7)

      This week we dive into some personal experiences of the desert and name a few things helping us, hindering us and what we're seeking in this season of Lent.

      Our guiding quotes are:

      • “In the desert, a place of trial as the experience of the people of Israel shows, the dramatic  reality of the self emptying of Christ who had stripped himself of the form of God (Phil 2:6-7) appears most vividly. He who never sinned and cannot sin submits to being tested and can therefore sympathize with our weaknesses (Heb 4:15). He lets himself be tempted by Satan, the enemy.” - Pope Benedict XVI
        • Mark 1:12-15

        From the publisher's feed

        Welcome to the Thin Spaces Podcast! A place where three friends sit to talk about anything from culture, life and most importantly God. We define a Thin Space as a place in which the veil between Heaven and Earth is blurred. These encounters with God can excite us, bewilder us, leave us breathless and give us astounding peace.
