S2 E2: God Is Not Your Superhero
from sundaymorningsleepin · host sundaymorningsleepin
We love superheroes! Love them! But it occurs to us they only ever really fix the problems they have also created, and we cannot depend on them to sweep in and fix all the day to day stuff that breaks our hearts. This Advent, as we await God's breaking into the world again, it's important for us to remember that God doesn't break in to fix it, but to continue to shape us in the covenant to live in compassionate and just community. Living in denial leads to false hope; living in the truth--even when it's ugly-- leads to true hope and transformation. And since it primarily has to do with people, it is intrinsically political. How will you speak up and use your voice to build compassionate, just community? Kris delves into Isaiah's lament in chapter 64:1-9.
