The meaning of life isn't to find happiness or to find order and control. It's to find connection with the Image of God, perfect in Jesus and present in your neighbor.
In Acts 17 Paul is in Athens and he's deeply concerned about all of the idols - so many idols - even idols to unknown gods! He argues with the philosophers that God isn't an idea - God isn't way up there or on the other side - God is here, not so far, and what a scandal that he might look like the Nazarene son of a Jewish Carpenter.
After listening to this episode: What are your idols? What has the pursuit of your idols caused you to miss out on? Have you made God or Church or Community into an idol?
What would change if you began to see by the light of Christ what the light illuminates right here and now?
