from Vox Veniae Podcast · host Vox Veniae
How might some of our unquestioned core beliefs keep us from growing in the Life of Christ? On the fifth Sunday of Lent, Christopher Mack wonders how we might jump off the treadmill of unfulfilled dreams and imagine what arrival at purpose and belonging in the Life of Christ looks like. [Philippians 3:7-14] Reflection Are there some dreams for your life that seem ill-fitting in light of the life of Christ? Does understanding the love of God we experience and extend to others as cruciform, invite you to reexamine your own belovedness or someone else’s? How does the cruciform love of God expand your longing and understanding of bearing good fruit?
