Prayer for the week of the election

10/11/2024

Moving from "What if...?!?" to "Even if...!"

Sunday evening, November 3, 7-7:30 pm

We're gathering on Zoom for prayer to surrender all of our "what if...?s" to God, and to receive the Spirit's "Even if...!s" from God, so we can navigate a fraught week connected to God who holds the world in love, and to our fellow Americans/human siblings whom we are called to love. Come what may and no matter what.

Zoom link will be sent out in an email the day before.

Navigating Politics

10/5/2024

Quick Dip and Deep Dive resources to help us stay grounded in the Way of God instead of the Way of Fear as we navigate American politics in this moment.

1- QUICK DIP: Practicing Civic Discipleship

a recorded conversation from The Trinity Forum with Walter Kim & Adam Taylor.
The polarization and confusion among Christians in this moment have left many unsure about how to pursue faithful engagement in public life. So what does it mean to follow Christ in the public square? How can we be formed to exhibit and embody Christian virtues in a way that reflects our primary citizenship in the kingdom of God?

2- DEEP DIVE: Faith & Politics for the Rest of Us

A 14- session Theology Class course with Trip Fuller, Diana Butler Bass, and Tim Whitaker.
In a time where the public square is increasingly tribal and algorithmically addicted to outrage, over-simplification, and performative politics, a tour of these rich yet neglected theological traditions can inspire and fund a more vibrant Christian voice in the public square as we seek to embody the love of neighbor to which we are called.

Brings together a number of alternative theo-political visions to introduce a multiplicity of vibrant, yet neglected traditions in public theology. With the help of some of the most powerful voices in the academy, participants will be introduced to these traditions and get to put them into action as we wrestle with our present moment, discovering the potential for an alternative public Christian witness.
