Let’s explore what the next stage is beyond polarizing identity politics. This is a stage where one has claimed a particular identity, as well as identifying as anti-racist. What does this look like?

"A Countercultural Community of Caring" by Rev. Kayla Parker23:20

In an age of isolation and individualism, intentionally building communities of care is countercultural.

"The Gift of Failure" by Rev. Anastassia Zinke18:28

2M ago18:28

18:28

As we conclude our Gift of the Dark Woods series, we will consider the story of Peter’s failure as a primary spiritual gift. Peter’s story so parallels our own failures, fears, and missteps. Even towards the end, Peter fails to keep his promise to Jesus, denying any association with him three times when the going got rough. But again it is this ...…

"The Gift of Getting Lost" by Rev. Kayla Parker21:14

2M ago21:14

21:14

The path of life is rarely clear or straight-forward. We find ourselves lost in a Dark Wood, unclear which direction to go, perhaps having strayed from the path we thought we were on. It is at these times that the gift of getting lost is that we begin to pay more attention than we usually do. Perhaps we are looking for blatant signs when the su ...…

The idea of temptation may conjure remembrances of small or significant longings.

"The Gift of Thunderstruck" by Rev. Anastassia Zinke24:45

Ancient civilizations and religions all metaphorically describe the voice of the divine coming through thunder and lightning. We often describe experiences of insight as a “sudden flash,” “seeing the light,” or “rocked my world.” The storms of life can make way for moments of insight that can offer us direction. Rev.

20:10

When we allow ourselves to accept the journey within the Dark Woods, the resiliency of the human spirit tends to shake things up a bit as we begin to awaken to nudgings toward a fuller life. But life is messy. Life is uncertain. Rather than a problem to be solved, what if we saw uncertainty as a gift helping us let go of all we cannot know so t ...…
