Swiss L'Abri

Grace is something we talk about all the time and is central to the Christian message. But it is all too often not our lived reality. This episode is a wrestling with that tension and a call to better understand the love of God in the face of our legalism and perfectionism.

A look at the notion of metaphor, informed by the work of Lakoff and Johnson, and what it adds to the how we understand systems of belief.

An examination of how disenfranchised grief and ambiguous loss can complicate the experience of undesired singleness.

This guest lecture examines what we may learn from looking at the theme of desert in the Bible. To do this, Dr. Marques Rollison presents a look at a newly published essay by the late french theologian Jacques Ellul. (Q&A at end of talk).

This is a cross post from another one of our branches (the L'Abri near Boston). It is about the issue of whether God is a projection and how we often make God in our own image. After the lecture on imagination in our last episode I think it is interesting to have this lecture point us to some of the ways that our imaginations can go astray. In doing this we can create a phony god for ourselves. This god is often in contrast with who God is as he is revealed in Scripture and in the person of Christ.
