Guest speaker and author Chris Heuertz joins us for a discussion on his most recent book, "The Sacred Enneagram."
Dr. King said, "The church must be reminded that it is not the master of the servant state, but rather the conscience of the state. It must be the guide and the critic of the state and never its tool." Central to what it means to be a child of God is a call to advocate for justice and righteousness. From Abraham to Paul, the Biblical imperative to stand up and speak for and with the oppressed, vulnerable, and marginalized is unavoidable. To say nothing is to say something. We will explore the many ways we can become socially engaged advocates who effectively work for the universal flourishing of all people.

The book of Jonah isn’t just a cute children’s story about a magic whale. It’s a shocking, disturbing, and unsettling story that disrupts our biases, labels, and categories of “us” vs “them”. It’s about the death of a man’s worldview, a nation’s invitation to healing, and a God’s infinite compassion. This story is about radical forgiveness. It’s about me and you. Do we need to be thrown overboard so we can see the world in a new light? May we come to see through the story of Jonah that God is far more loving, compassionate, and generous than we could ever imagine. And may that compassion flow to us, through us, and from us.
