“Tradition is at once a passing on and a betrayal.”

John 16:12-15 “Revelation is progressive.” Ok. But how do we know God’s revelation when we hear it? Looking for community and listening for the Jesus story.

Romans 5:1-5  The Spirit empowers the recapitulation of Jesus’s story. But how do we proclaim the Jesus story without perpetuating a narrative of oppression? How about starting with this: God doesn’t give us crosses, the Romans do.

Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31 Finding our way in harmony with the created order: listening to Lady Wisdom. The bottom line might be just that: learn to listen. 

Make sure you grab your tickets to Wild Goose Festival in Hot Springs, North Carolina on July 7-10! We’ll be recording and I’d love to meet more LectioCastians.
