Holding Everything Lightly
Embracing Change with Faith: In this episode, we explore the theme of 'holding everything lightly.' When we release our grip on what we think we know, we find freedom to move more faithfully and nimbly. Yet, to do so, we must be deeply rooted in our relationship with God and our traditions. Like the Tabernacle that moved with the Israelites, our faith anchors us while allowing us to adapt and grow.

    Yes!... I identify with A LOT of what Andy is sharing. 'Innovation' is definitely an overused word and too easily tethered to a capitalist, materialist view of the world. I think 'entrepreneurship' is problematic as a term in faith spaces for the same reason. All that we do becomes performative for external rewards from the nearest onlooker. We've become excellent bean counters in the Church. This leads to a fraught relationship with money, power, and privilege, absent a wondering of the Spirit's movement among us and practice of the Jesus model. We can do several 'old' things from our tradition and they would be received as radically new things because we--the Church--haven't done them in a long time. Relationships of forgiveness and belonging, meaningful conversations around transformation, living lives of abundance and openness to the other and the broken, the practice of radical love, suffering, letting go, humility... these are the things that look new in the world we live in today. Teaching folks to follow is the ask. Not lead. Follow. I chose pilgrimage and spiritual practice as the old things that look new. We invite people to the experience; but God works as God works in that space. We try to stay as far away from articulating specific outcomes. We're learning to wait on what God might do through it all. This breaks my ego unfortunately. I have begun playing with "experiment" as a go to word to describe the work ahead of us because it feels like it honors imagination, discovery, individual journey towards God, the proverbial 'one step forward two steps back' orientation, and perhaps eventually meeting God's in unexpected places, peoples, actions. An experimenter doesn't pretend to know, but it expresses a desire and curiosity to find out. Holy anticipation and humility become a habits. I do think there are some things to learn from Silicon Valley models--especially decentralized autonomous collectives and (maybe) design thinking can be a little helpful, too--but I agree that it still pulls us into the quantitative race versus the qualitative waiting. So... Let's wait. Let's get dangerous. I'm asking... 'where is God?' I'm waiting... :))

    If the word god is in your vocabulary then you have a non-functioning brain. God is a word and nothing more. It is delusion. Or as Albert Einstein put it, it is the product and expression of human weakness. Either something is known or it is not known. If it is known, then everyone knows it - not a select group. Whatever it is that you refer to as a god is your own understanding based on your presumptions which cannot be handed one person to another nor studied and learned from continuously as everything else that is known to exist affords us the opportunity. You seem like good people but you are 100% deluded and 100% wrong. You will waste your entire lives.
