QUOTES
âBeauty is always coming toward us.â âWe are co-laboring with God to help people tell their story more truly.â
âGod's primary mission has not changedâŠGenesis three doesnât mean we forget about Genesis one and two⊠Itâs still the case that we are being formed into the image of Jesus in order for us to become like Him so we can rule to create and curate beauty and goodness in the world.â
âBecause I am primed to pay attention to danger, I donât practice looking for beautyâŠâ
âJesusâ capacity to see beauty just around the corner⊠with the man with the withered hand, with the woman caught in adultery⊠has everything to do with the degree to which He experiences Himself as a non-anxious presence in the world because He is so deeply connected with a Father who loves Him.â
âUnless I feel the love of God in my chest, it isnât yet fully real to me...â
âWe are the embodiment spread over the worldâŠwe are the gospelâŠwe are so loved by God that He wants us to be His representative, we are His incarnate presenceâŠâ
Jesus to us â âI am no further away from you now than before you made the mistake.â
âYou will see beauty as you create beauty as you become beauty because you are paying attention to me, who is never leaving.â
âGod is not so self-conscious, so anxious that He wonât share Himself with us. Heâs not worried that somehow, weâre going to do something, and Heâs not gonna get credit.â

To expand my worldview beyond the paradigm of Southern, Christian, rural, or working poor to a larger cosmic frame that is inclusive, universal, affirming, and accepting, I needed to see the parts and the whole in all their majestic splendor and their messy complexity.â

This podcast features Chapter Three of Jason Clark's recent book, Leaving and Finding Jesus. "We have been invited to trade a finite perspective with an infinite eternal life revelationâChrist in us, the hope of gloryâand nothing separates us from His love!In John 17, Jesus prayed that we would know this union, this oneness, just as He and the Father were one. Further, He revealed there is no darkness light wonât penetrate, no brokenness that wonât be made whole, no road He wonât join us on, no soil the Seed wonât transform, no consequence of sin that His justice wonât restoreâpast, present, or future..."To purchase the book you can go to https://a.co/d/cmOtbzh For more on Jason ClarkWebsite: www.afamilystory.orgPlease rate, review, share, and subscribe!Podcast intro and outro music by Wilde Assembly

For many, the message of Jesus Christ has not been associated with the overwhelming joy of living. The world is often filled with so much discouragement, depression, and striving just to be happy.

The guys discuss an ecstatic joy discovered at His Cross that brings a sense of satisfaction and completeness, so we are actually able to live & love confidently. Church community, righteousness, peace, and joy, our mystical union, the presence of God, encounter, bliss, measureless favor, and a happy God; in this podcast, the fellas get down to the serious business of joy.QUOTESâIn the Western Church, in some ways, we are afraid of spirituality.ââCessationism isnât based on an experience itâs based on something you havenât experienced yet.â âGod is happy.

The Trinitarian, mystical, joy-filled, supernatural good news, the mass exodus from the Christian institutional experiment we call 'church,' what 'mission' looks like for us in the 21st century with a non-toxic gospel, and the supernatural reality of living in union with the Father, Son, and Spirit, in this conversation, Paul and the guys dive into inclusion, evangelism, the creative spirit, the prophetic, the flow of compassion, and the wonder of hope.

âFor it logically follows that if God is all-good, all-knowing, and all-powerful, then God must also be all-saving.â
Often dismissed as a modern feel-good theology, Christian universalism is an ancient, orthodox, and biblical theology that was expounded by early Christians and early church fathers. Artman brings much-deserved attention to this wonderful spirituality.
In this conversation, David Artman shares that grace saves alone and goes to all. This inclusive approach to Christianity is variously called universal reconciliation, universal salvation, or perhaps most accurately, Christian universalism. David shares that the inclusive/Christian universalist approach is necessary because it offers the only Christian theology that successfully defends the goodness of God.
