Becoming We
The Radical Act of Loving Our Neighbor
THE GIFT OF DISORIENTATION
November 20, 2016 • Sara Wolbrecht
At Salt House, we use the language of "kairos" moments to name significant times in our lives where God invites us into a process that can lead to growth and transformation. We're diving into a series of kairos moments - the kairos of the presidential election results and the kairos of concluding our fall series on "Becoming We" (and how these are very connected).
BECOMING WE: RACIAL RECONCILIATION
November 13, 2016 • Cara Meredith
Guest Speaker Cara Meredith. Every human life on this planet reflects the image of God. But in this broken world not all lives are treated equally. How can we honor others, offer and receive forgiveness, and see those whom Jesus sees as marginalized?
THROWING COMPASSION
October 23, 2016 • Sara Wolbrecht
In her brave TED talk (March 2015) Monica Lewinsky says, "[in 1998] I was Patient Zero of losing a personal reputation on a global scale almost instantaneously." Today, the kind of online public shaming she went through has become constant - and can turn deadly. Sunday at Salt House, we'll take a look at the online culture of humiliation through the lens of the gospel - and examine the responsibility we have to change that culture.
BULLHORN
October 16, 2016 • Sara Wolbrecht
Christians are often known not for what they are for, but for what they are against. We see this in the current election cycle as lines are drawn once again around what each candidate is for and against. And yet: Jesus's message, the gospel, is a message that is decisively for - for love, for justice, for forgiveness, for grace, for change. How did the greatest message of all time get so misconstrued? And what can we do about it?
EMBODIED
October 9, 2016 • Kara Haug
Belonging. Intimacy. To be known. This is what we long for most profoundly - yet why is it so hard? This Sunday at Salt House, Kara Haug of Grace Unbound (a ministry of sexuality education rooted in the Spirit), leads us into how our intimate God restores us everyday through our bodies, through communion, through relationship.
POWER & PRIVILEGE
September 25, 2016 • Sara Wolbrecht
Privilege. Power. These words dominate the conversation in our current global conversation as we reel in response to discrimination based on race, gender identity, and more - most recently in this week's horrific treatment of Terrence Crutcher and Keith Lamont Scott. Join this vital conversation as we lean into the Jesus-patterned response, how to identify and leverage our privilege for the sake of the oppressed.
THE LOOK OF LOVE
September 18, 2016 • Sara Wolbrecht
Jesus calls us to "love our neighbor as ourself" - yet we're living in a current political & cultural climate that throws around labels and blame to the very people Jesus calls neighbor. These are the very ones we are to love, to engage with, to invite to the table. The very folks we would call THEM? Jesus invites us to see as US.
