Episode Synopsis

In this sermon we begin a series inspired by a book called What Makes You Come Alive: A Spiritual Walk With Howard Thurman by Lerita Coleman Brown. We use Thurman's famous quote to jumpstart our reflections on what it means to live in the spirit of the resurrection. [The quote: "Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do that, because what the world needs is more people who have come alive."] This sermon revolves around the importance of silence in our communion with God. We'll talk about the desert fathers, a book of dopamine, another book about someone's search for the quietest place on earth, and how our bodies play music.
