Inclusion isn’t easy—it’s work. But if we want to protect both people and planet, we have to choose cooperation over control, compassion over comfort, and curiosity over fear. This week’s reflections remind us that living our values isn’t about being right, it’s about being real, even when it’s uncomfortable!
Have you ever noticed how often people talk about love, faith, and community, but then draw the line when it means actually including someone different from themselves? It’s easy to preach compassion, but a lot harder to practice it when the person across from you challenges your comfort zone.
Welcome to Mythologizing the Bible, where we’ll be taking a look at three readings from the Christian Bible through the lens of “sacred myth.”
As we reflect on the readings for the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time, Cycle C, we’ll explore how living our values—honestly, courageously, and cooperatively—requires us to bridge differences rather than build walls.
In this episode, we’re asking an honest question: What if inclusion, not ideology, is what truly defines our humanity? Because protecting each other and the world we share starts with the difficult, daily work of understanding one another, especially when it’s uncomfortable.
