What Makes Change Possible?
Katie Kinnison preaching
So last week we talked about what softening our hearts might mean. We wondered how we might keep ourselves a bit more open and relaxed so that our response to Life isn't so quick to be fight or flight.
Have you been paying attention to your heart? Just notice. Remember not to judge.
We are going to keep talking about how we respond to the world, about how we keep ourselves available to Love and still powerful.
This week we'll take that passage from Matthew 15 that we read last week and look at its context. What might we learn from the life of Jesus that can help us have strong hearts of flesh, life-giving hearts, rather than hearts of stone.
Yours ever in that hope,
Katie
