Drunken Pastor

•

Jay is back! And he’s here to drink Diet Coke and talk Galatians…and he’s all out of Diet Coke. Well actually, he’s quitting Diet Coke, and we wish him luck – but all the same that just leaves us with Galatians. Who has bewitched you? Do you believe what you’ve heard? These are questions Paul asks right up front in the next installment of Galatians. Paul and Jay pick up right where they left off, with the same themes that weaves its way through this letter from Paul and sets the foundations for Revolution: Doubt, Faith, Contradiction, and Grace. Is doubt the opposite of faith? Or is it an element of faith? If there is no hierarchy and we give up our identity, what does that mean for us today? What do we hold onto after that? What if someone does something great or helpful, but then you learn they aren’t perfect? Does that change what they did? If we all fall short, how can we have room to judge? Are we so focused on our identities and traditions that they’ve become more important than the other people we deal with? Can exploring these questions lead to a higher truth? A God beyond God? We believe it can. These are some tough conversations, but let’s learn to have them. Let’s learn to see that it’s okay to disagree, as long as we disagree well. Jay dives into all of this and more before the caffeine wears off since iced tea can only do so much. This is the part in Paul’s letter where things begin to get a little more dicey, but it’s okay, because we’re not scared of the tough conversations. (Maybe we are, but we do them anyway!)


This talk was given on February 6, 2022 in Seattle, Washington.

    01:20:29|
    In this conversation, the Jay explores the themes of sacred and secular as articulated by Paul Tillich, emphasizing the interconnectedness of these realms. The discussion touches on current events, community support, and the role of politics in faith, while advocating for a more inclusive understanding of spirituality that transcends rigid separations.
