Born of a virgin? How can that be? What does this mean?

Let me introduce you to Qoheleth. Who is he? To some he’s a skeptic, cynic, pessimist, nihilist, existentialist, realist, or atheist. To others, he is a master teacher who is honestly and relentlessly trying to make sense of this life. In this series, we will explore his controversial journal that is often at odds with his mainstream religious tradition. We will consider his unorthodox views on mortality, afterlife, God, justice, and wisdom. In doing so, we will discover solidarity and permission (within our own tradition) to be honest about our disillusionment with life.

We're joined by special guest Derek Webb, American singer-songwriter from Nashville, TN. For 25+ years he has been giving language for our ever-evolving faith. He explores uncertainty, politics, grief, freedom, fear, and hope in his music. In doing so, he magically integrates both the head and the heart.

We are all shaping the generation behind us. They are all watching and listening to everything we say and do. The question is, “How are we shaping them?” What are we passing off to them? For many, this reality creates enormous anxiety and worry. So we devour parenting books and podcasts looking for an owner’s manual. But the truth is there is no one right way to parent.

We will learn how to worry well and not pass our own anxieties off to our kids. And we will explore how to raise humans to be who they are, not who we want them to be.
