Today we set up the rest of season 2.   I walk through the symptoms of the world we live in:1.  Verbal extremism regarding Jesus2.  Sound bits that keep us scared or overly hopeful through belonging3.  I know syndrome - keeps us from learning because we already know4.   We all know something is wrong because we were made in the image of God 1-3 is signs of The Great Alienation - listen to learn more.Solution:  own your own story, by reading and understanding God&apos;s story. Next week we will be looking at Mark chapter 1 if you want to read along.   See you next week.

I taught and preached on a regular basis for 25 plus years. &nbsp; I feel like that&nbsp; there are important things, maybe the most important things to be talked about and discussed. &nbsp; A blog is too static, but a podcast is a place and space to share and point and ask questions. &nbsp; If I had a podcast, this is what it would be.&nbsp; God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit can we discussed without guilt or shame or headlocks.&nbsp; &nbsp; Invitational is always the stance of the God-head. &nbsp; I want to invite you to experience that invitation.&nbsp; &nbsp;
