When the Bread of Life simply cannot be contained..
from The "Surviving Saturday" Podcast · host Chris
We often think of Jesus' resurrection on the third day after his crucifixion as a quiet, clandestine act, carried out quietly in the dead of night. But that was no small stone that was rolled away. And we are talking about making "death work backwards" here. What if our assumptions are wrong? And what might that mean about the power of the Resurrection in our own lives? It makes one wonder whether one perhaps should expect a little more force, noise, and messiness than one would like when the Holy Spirit gets all up in one's business, bringing about foundational changes and such. For this "one," at least. In this episode, licensed mental health counselor (and Allender Center Fellow) Wendy Osborn shares an insightful meditation on one of her newest hobbies, and it's implications for how we understand resurrection and spiritual transformation. (And nope, it's not gardening this time-that was Episode 16, ICYMI).
