1-23-22 - We need All types of Species and Churches

The readings for this week are Nehemiah 8:1-3, 5-6, 8-10, Psalm 19, 1 Corinthians 12:12-31a, and Luke 4:14-21.  This week we look at ecosystems and how they need all types of species for the ecosystem to be successful.  It takes generalists and specialists alike in order to have a successful environment.  The church is not that much different from that and how are we learning from ecosystems to make for a healthier overall Church.  Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.

Remember to answer this week's question:
How is the church embracing our different gifts?

How then is the Church using these gifts? #FaithandSciPod
