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."] In this sermon we talk about Thurman's experience of Halley's Comet and what his Mom taught him there, Brennan Manning's words about grace, Jesus' questions to Peter and how he never stops asking them, about what it means to know that you belong to God and how that is at the center of the journey of faith.
