589 | Coffee to Go | Trinity Sunday

A short passage for a deeply complex concept … the Trinity. Rather than getting bogged down in conversation about Trinity in this episode of Coffee to Go, however, hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith focus in on the “sending” aspect of the scripture text.  God sends Son, Son sends Spirit. Spirit sends the Church (a.k.a. the people... us). There’s no getting around it. No matter how you understand the Trinity... no matter how you refer to the Trinity … the bottom line is the same.  As a disciple, you are being sent. It’s up to you to discern how and for what purpose. The blessing for this episode was taken from: Malcolm Guite’s “A Sonnet for Trinity Sunday.” The full text of the sonnet can be found at: https://malcolmguite.wordpress.com/2021/05/29/. For more on the Trinity, check out Project Zion Podcast: Percolating on Faith episode #175, The Triune God.
