Together in Decline (Ruth 1:1-22)- Barnabas Lin

Climate. Economy. Politics. As everything declines, including our own bodies, how are we supposed to live as the people of God? Guest preacher, Barnabas Lin, walks through the story of Naomi to show how her life provides wisdom for life during times of sustained devastation.  Barnabas (he/him) has over a decade of ministry experience (primarily in Chicago, IL) and holds a Master of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary, where he is now working on a PhD in Theological Ethics. His academic focus is on reclaiming theology for public good (language, economics, and non-violence) and developing the theological agency of all Christians. He currently serves as Bethel Community's "Theologian-in-Residence." For fun, Barnabas enjoys baking bread, loves musical theater (Come From Away, The Color Purple, and Sunday in the Park with George are his favorites), and is determined to learn how to surf before he turns 40.
