Do believers in Jesus really care about envisioning a better future?
The podcast of Michael Mezz and Heather Plett/Holding Space are having this conversation.
But are believers?
My favorite quote pre-Jesus was "be the change you wish to see in the world" Ghandi- and then I got "freed" from the slavery of work's righteousness, guilt and shame of never doing enough to make the world better/save the world. Jesus saved the world so I don't have to.
And I still believe that, but now, I want a hope for a better future. And I don't know what my faith is saying about that.
I need an alternative story, Lord.
As the bombs drop.
As the poor suffer.
As we ignore the pain and buy more.
