Gentleness and Respect
A happy and merry Christmas from everyone here at Revolution. Jay did a special Christmas Day talk for everyone, and we think it will perk you up more than salt in your coffee! Today Jay talks about the Christmas Spirit…but probably not in the way you’re thinking. He focuses on trying to find a way for us to live the Christmas Spirit all year long—but we don’t mean decking halls and sleigh rides, we’re talking about the spirit of kindness that we almost all unify with for one day of the year. But if it can be done one day, it can be done all days! We just have to get there. Today Jay also discusses the idea of echo chambers. It’s easy for us to see other’s echo chambers and judge them while ignoring our own, but the truth is no one is exempt from echo chambers, we all have them and we’re all part of them—they just look different. But the real paradox and conundrum we face is that even though no one is spared from being a part of an echo chamber…Christianity shouldn’t actually be one…but it is. Jay looks at the letters of Peter and James today in discussing how we can hopefully swap out our personal echo chambers, and instead focus on the humanity of everyone. Because if we focus on that then maybe we can find a path to expand our ‘echo chamber’ rather than be limited by it. If we see ourselves in each other, it makes it easier for us to be kind and gentle to all, and to treat everyone with respect. Unifying together is how we survive! By focusing more on our commonalities than on our differences. And in doing that, we learn how to become “curious, instead of furious” (thanks for great idea, Linda!)
This talk was given on December 25, 2024 from Seattle, Washington.

Why Revolution
55:35|It’s important to talk about good Biblical scholarship. It’s a short step to align the Bible with our views rather than our views with the Bible and its teachings. We create a new gospel that doesn’t reflect what the Bible says. Is it too late for Christianity? It can feel hopeless but there is HOPE for reconciliation.
