Why this, why now
Elizabeth and I host a group in northern Colorado that have some rich discussions about our faith life. Often, these spark some writing inspiration for me. Most impactful was a study of James we did in 2022 which resulted in a summary of the entire book of James! Look for this in future posts.
We recently started exploring the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7 and took an unexpected deep dive in the Beatitudes in Matthew 5:3-20.
I think the initial expectation was that this was well travelled territory that would be more confirming than convicting. Given the current state of affairs in the world post-COVID and especially the perpetual social chaos in the U.S., it was a bit of both.
What kind of community are you looking to build here
If you are one who wonders and ponders, please join in the discussion. I am interested in sharing, but also receiving perspectives from others as we journey together in this faith walk. Share with others who can benefit as well as contribute their experience.
What you can expect
I will post at least weekly and share the summary from our group discussion in the hope that this will spark some thinking for others. My hope is this will be an encouragement to others, but also that others will share their experience and perspective.
Looking forward to the thoughts and discussion.
Together we have a better chance of finding our way to the Cross-shaped life!
