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 consider how prayer, hospitality, and solitude are at the heart of Jesus's ministry and what they have to do with discipleship (with some help from Henri Nouwen's book Reaching Out).
