Ditch the afterlife scoreboard. Widen the circle of care and acceptance now—honor shared humanity, learn from hardship, and fix the narrow doors that quietly shut people out. It’s not complicated and it’s an ages old message!
Have you ever noticed how telling the truth out loud can shine a spotlight on what’s really happening… exposing what’s broken, revealing who stands with us, and forcing a choice between comfort and courage?
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 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Cycle C, we’ll explore how honest speech often divides before it heals, how focusing on core values builds endurance, and how everyday allyship, like using your privilege to pull someone else out of harm’s way, can turn friction into real change.
In this episode, we’re asking an honest question: What if we drop the supernatural framing and treat these stories as a playbook for courage and solidarity where we live? What small, scheduled step would make that real this week? Because “peace” without truth isn’t peace; it’s quiet complicity.
