Trinity Sunday: Deeds Over Creeds?
from St. John’s Park Slope Hosted by St. John’s Episcopal Church, Brooklyn
In Apple TV’s “Physical,” Sheila Rubin believes that she needs to look great to matter. In the show, we’re let in on her inner dialogue which consists of nitpicking different aspects of her body. Her negative self-talk motivates her to diet and exercise, but it also results in compulsive behavior, an eating disorder, and unending body shaming of those around her. By the end of season one, she’s successful, but it’s come at great cost. She’s fit, but she’s pushed away everyone she’s ever loved. The show is a good illustration of the truth that bad ideas about ourselves and God aren’t neutral; they’re toxic. Check out Rev. Ben DeHart’s sermon on the Trinity — God!
