An Odd Place To Start | Luke 1

Season 1 | An Odd Place To Start | Luke 1

Luke starts his gospel, not with the story of Mary and Joseph, but with the story of Zachariah and Elizabeth.

We wrestle with what it means for Zachariah and Elizabeth to be named 'righteous' and the miraculous encounter that Zachariah has while in the temple.

How can their story help prepare us for Advent and the coming Christ? 

 

This podcast is a partnership between 40 Orchards and Processing Faith…

40 Orchards, with Steph and Lisa, invites people to wrestle through Biblical texts using the ancient Jewish concepts of midrash.

In a 40 Orchards study, every question is safe, everyone is welcome, and every voice is valued. We believe there’s room for all of us. No person and no question is off limits—because we know that together we can expand each other’s experience of what is sacred, whole, and good. 

You can learn more about 40 Orchards and sign-up for a study by going to 40orchards.org.

Processing Faith is a space created by Jason Steffenhagen for people to do exactly that…process their faith. It’s not one thing…but more like a good recipe. It’s like 1 part pastoral care, 1 part theological exploration, and 1 part wrestling with all the questions.
