We will walk it with God as well … a path of grief and a path of joy.

Ep 442The Beauty of Doing the Right Thing

The Beauty of Doing the Right Thing The first place where we often experience awe in our lives is when we witness the moral beauty over the kindness, strength, courage and grit of others, a place where, as Toni Morrison phrased it, “we allow goodness its own speech.” We let it speak for itself.

The Joy of Cleaning Ourselves Up You can't spend much time in the stories of Jesus without coming across the dreaded R-word: Repent!

Ep 432Helping Teens Find Their Spiritual Self

In this episode we will explore the topic of teens and spirituality. At NewChurch Live we are anchored by the theology of the NewChurch. The Academy of the New Church Secondary Schools (ANC) is a high school based on that theology. In this episode we interview staff and students to discuss the topic of teens and spirituality, an area to which ANC is very much paving the way. At ANC they believe spirituality and education are not two separate entities, they are interconnected in ways that inspire and prepare young people for principled and useful lives in this world and the next.
