Putting Down the Highlighter

from Conversations in the Barn

I used to carry a leather-bound Bible with my name in gold letters, color-coded, underlined, worn soft at the edges from years of use. I loved what it said about me. In this episode, a sermon on Colossians 2 sends me back through my own story: a leadership class in Lexington, a habit I'm not proud of, and a 300-year-old sermon by John Wesley that finally named something in me I didn't have words for. It's a conversation about the difference between a spiritual discipline and a performance, and about what happens when a good thing quietly becomes a measuring stick. I don't land on a tidy answer. I'm still working it out. Maybe you are too. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
