"Love without truth lies.
Truth without love kills."
-Chris Rice, "From Pandemic to Renewal"

What might happen in our world and the bigger world if we, as followers of the Jesus Way, release His power in our lives?

As you know, I've been on a journey to learn more about the depths of God's love towards me.

Real love.

Unconditional love.

Love without constraint.

An immeasurable, God-sized love as described in Psalms 103. 

Chris Rice, Director of the United Nations Office of the Mennonite Central Committee and author of "From Pandemic to Renewal: Practices for a World Shaken by Crisis," leads us in a remarkable conversation about life post-pandemic. In Part 1 we talk through difficult topics:

• Mental exhaustion
• Economic disparities
• Escalating Divisions

Today's podcast prompt is to reflect on Chris's piercing words:

"Love without truth lies. Truth without love kills."
