BODIES | Resisting & Insisting
The word BODIES is multifaceted. Each one of us is a body. Collectively we comprise a body. Spiritually, we are to 'take eat, this is my body' and we are to be the body of Christ.
A BODY is also what they call you when a name is too dignifying for their hurtful purposes. Cells and cages full of bodies. Not somebodies, just bodies.
Over the course of the next 46 days, from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, we will explore what it looks like for us to resist and insist that all bodies should experience good news. We will explore what it means to become a body (both communally and spiritually) that resists systemic injustice and insists on joy and generativity.

That exploration starts with Ash Wednesday. The themes found in this episode highlight the traditional disciplines of the lenten journey towards Easter - Fasting, Prayer, and Service.

Episode 7 of our Winter Series
Because faith traditions go back hundreds and even thousands of years, it’s natural for us to think that when we engage our faith we are trying to go back. Back to a time when the faith was practiced well. Back to a era when more people believed. Back to a season when faith was alive.
We even have phrases like, ‘We need to get back into the Bible.’
But when we explore the Scriptures there is a subtle movement happening. God is pushing things forward. Yes, God often reminders people to remember where they came from and what God has done in their past. But not so they can go back. But so that they can launch forward. God is doing a new thing.

Due to the tragedies and continuing escalation of violence and terror in Minneapolis, caused by the increased presence of federal immigration and border agents, we took a detour from our series.
Amos 5 highlights both the frustration when the power of empire has become corrupt and the hope of God to bring a river of justice. Not a justice that wields a sword, but one that brings life.
