Include and Transcend | How We Grow Pt 3 | Acts 17:22-25, 28

In the final part of our series called 'HOW TO GROW', we will look at how our faith moves beyond just a personal set of beliefs, and through empathy we can respect and include the beliefs of others. We recognize the desire for shared values and respect that those values are found beyond our own tradition or faith system.

In this episode, Jason spends some time talking about the tragic death of Tyre Nichols in Memphis, Tennessee. How does our faith hold injustice and systemic inequities? How does faith move us to justice? 

'HOW TO GROW' is a series exploring spiritual formation, the process by which our faith matures and adapts and expands and settles and fluctuates. Like the human body that grows, the mind that creates new neural pathways, or a relationship that deepens over time - our spiritual lives develop. Faith is not simply a list of beliefs, but a relational dynamic that fluctuates. How we tend to our faith and invest in our spiritual growth can make all the difference in living a life of meaning and purpose. 

The work of James Fowler from Stages of Faith is featured in this episode, as is the work of James Marcia.
