SF506: Henri Nouwen on Power (Ep. 4) 12.01.2024 ↓

My agenda is to make us self-aware of our bent towards power - that every. single. one of us. are seducible, and that overcoming it is not always through a singular, defining act of downward mobility, but rather through small everyday deeds of kenosis. Music credits: Aleksey Chistilin

SF506: Henri Nouwen and becoming WHOLLY (Ep. 3) 11.01.2024 ↓

A disclaimer: some serious allegations have been raised about L' Arche, where Nouwen was shaped profoundly as he wrote his book "In the Name of Jesus." The issues he raises still speak proleptically about the circumstances surrounding the scandal to come, and our own ongoing need to be both WHOLE and HOLY. Music credits: Aleksey Chistilin

SF506: Mark Labberton on being "Called" (Ep. 2) 10.01.2024 ↓

Our primary calling is to be the beloved and to follow Christ. That is all, and we shall remain here for as long as he calls us to this first-love identity. That said, if he bids us beyond, into more specific secondary callings, we do well to take heed and obey, for denial of such can be dangerous to our souls. Music credits: Aleksey Chistilin

SF506: Mark Labberton on being "Called" (Ep. 1) 08.01.2024 ↓

Seminary can easily be a place where you are living in your head all day long, and scholasticism can be a pathway away from God just as much as it can be a pathway to God; You will need something more than academic and intellectual formation – you will need a vital spiritual encounter with Christ.
