Speaker: Jeff Jarvis
\nWe get asked why we insist so often on wrestling with stories and passages from the bible. Some argue that a collection of writings, thousands of years old, has to be outdated and irrelevant to modern life. Many will point to disturbing stories depicting violence, misogyny, or slavery – or even its contradictions with modern science as reasons to dismiss it. We fully acknowledge these issues.
\nYet, despite these and other issues, we still believe the bible stands as one of the greatest tools for spiritual reflection and learning we\u2019ve encountered.
\nThis Sunday as we close out our \u201cStories that Changed Our Worlds\u201d series and begin a new series called \u201cWatering Our Worlds\u201d – I\u2019m going to retell one of the bible\u2019s most problematic stories and demonstrate how, even in 2023, it can still provoke deep reflection, and ask hard questions, ultimately leading to what we call around here, \u201cTaking water our world\u201d.
\nInvite a friend or family member and join us this Sunday at the Spiritual Gym.
