Send us a Question!Hello Darkness My old Friend... Today we sit down with Cody Balfour, the Director of Family Life at Koinonia Church, to discuss his book "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark," which addresses fear and anxiety from a uniquely Christian perspective. Cody pastorally opens his heart and offers hope for many walking in darkness and despair. We reflect on hope, resilience, and the impact of embracing the resurrection in the face of adversity, drawing inspiration from biblical teachings and the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Before this, we wrestled with a few Terrible Tweets: 1)  We confront a controversial tweet from Grimke Seminary, sparking a dialogue about inclusivity and the importance of diverse voices in theological education. With open hearts and evolving perspectives, we challenge the notion that pastoral roles should be exclusively masculine, advocating for a broader understanding of faith that embraces all genders and backgrounds. 2) Then we take notice how lucrative the business of fear is as we reflect on the death of Hal Lindsey.If you want to learn more about Cody, check out his site here.
