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. In this series, we will sit down with actual parents and explore new, creative, and healthy ways to talk to our kids about God, religion, sex, gender, inclusion, death, justice, racism, money, boundaries, and discipline. 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.

Death and resurrection sit at the very center of the Christ story. The iconic image of a man on the cross has pierced our collective consciousness for thousands of years. What does it mean? What does it reveal? Did Jesus die for our sin? There seems to be a mystery at the heart of this provocative image. Mystery is not something you can’t understand. Mystery is a bottomless, limitless, and endless knowability. In this series, we will explore the metaphors, images, and ideas the early writers used to communicate meaning for this enigmatic event. We will stand with a long line of people across the ages in contemplating the significance of this Christ story. In doing so, we will be invited ourselves to discover ways in which this image might move us today.
