This is the Jerusalem Council episode. This is the BIG CHURCH MEETING - there was tension, conflict, drama -- do we need to make the 'new people' assimilate? Now that they're here, can we segregate? Which identifiers are essential? When a new person joins a community -- does the person change, or does the entire community change? Can we figure this out together, or should we just spit up? This podcast gets real - we talk about Awaken Identity and the urge within each of us to either cut and run or cling to control when we feel vulnerable.

Discussion questions:

What are the Awaken identifiers in your experience?

When you're stressed are you more likely to cut and run or fight for control?

Have you ever resisted a 'new thing' and then found yourself totally blessed by it once you opened yourself to it?

At Awaken we say, "because our God is a welcoming God, we welcome you" -- have you encountered God's welcome at Awaken -- have you extended the 'welcome' to Others?
