Chocolate Meat, Cubism, and Jesus The Christ

Only Patricia could connect Chocolate Meat, Cubism and Jesus. Along the way, she also deconstructs some of the childish thinking that religious people might have about spiritual maturity. Praying we all allow Jesus to wash our eyes so we can truly see.

Our Elements series is about how spiritual maturity is not just knowing a bunch of fancy words – it's living them out. So perfect that Linda brought it back to John 15 to show us what it looks like when these truths come to life.
