Listen "Seeking Shalom | Jeremiah 29"
Episode Synopsis
Season 1 | Seeking Shalom | Jeremiah 29
In Episode 2 of this inaugural season, we explore Jeremiah 29. The people of Israel are in exile in the land of Babylon, and through the prophet, God instructs the people to seek the peace of the city.
Questions abound... what would it feel like to be in exile, what does it mean to plant new gardens in a foreign land, what is Shalom, and what does it mean to Seek the peace ...we wrestle with these and many more.
This podcast is a partnership between 40 Orchards and Processing Faith…
40 Orchards invites people to wrestle through Biblical texts using the ancient Jewish concepts of midrash.
In a 40 Orchards study, where you will likely be led by Steph or Lisa, every question is safe, everyone is welcome, and every voice is valued. We believe there’s room for all of us. No person and no question is off limits—because we know that together we can expand each other’s experience of what is sacred, whole, and good.
You can learn more about 40 Orchards and sign-up for a study by going to 40orchards.org.
Processing Faith is a space created by Jason Steffenhagen for people to do exactly that…process their faith. It’s not one thing…but more like a good recipe. It’s like 1 part pastoral care, 1 part theological exploration, and 1 part wrestling with all the questions.
