Summary

One of the most overlooked aspects of Jesus’s ministry is how often he found himself in conflict—and with whom. Often it was not those who he was trying to reach, but members of his own tribe. If we're to reach across divides and love those who aren’t like us, we must accept and embody a particular trait of Jesus: the willingness to be misunderstood by our own side. If we choose not to, it will be our biggest barrier—and drive us deeper into division.

Twenty Years on Horseback; or, Itinerating in West Virginia William Marion Weekley http://www.adfreebooks.com - 500+ audiobooks, all ad freeWilliam Weekley was graduate of Asbury Seminary, Wilmore, Kentucky, and a bishop in the Church of the United Brethren in Christ. From the author’s preface, “It was not my purpose, in the preparation of this little volume, to make it an autobiography, but rather a narration of incidents connected with the twenty years of humble service which I tried to render the United Brethren Church among the mountains of West Virginia. These incidents present an all-round view, in outline, of the real life and labors of the itinerant preacher, a third of a century ago, in an isolated section, where the most simple and primitive customs prevailed.” Asbury UMC mrawle2000 Podcast by mrawle2000 My Community's Health Starts With Me My Community's Health Starts With Me This is a podcast dedicated to engaging and educating the community about topics surrounding community health and sexual health care.
