In this short preview, you will hear Patrick and Jonah describe the overarching theme for this year’s podcast. Coming to our selves means separating from everyone else. The self is a "two edged sword", cutting, on the one hand, towards the dignity and beauty of our free individuality, and on the other, self-hood is destructive for the existing bonds of community that used to hold us together. In the age of individuality, are we simply destined for "war"?
Christ’s deed - his death and resurrection - created a new human body, a gift he offers to those who unite themselves with him. But there is something else that Christ is still working to accomplish. This year’s podcasts will explore the mystery of human community - the death forces in our relationships today and the resurrection forces streaming towards us, aiming to birth new communities and transform all creation in the process.
