When is a cup of tea not just a cup of tea?
There are probably lots of answers to that riddle, but today the answer for me, was when it's a cup of tea that you have with Cathy Richard and it turns into a three and a half hour oasis of all things prayer, nature, faith, family, life... WOW! We got together to talk about details of the SOIL AND SOUL event that she is hosting/facilitating on May 19, and it turned into something so much more. Isn't that the way of God? Surprise, awe, wonder, abundance, a plan for our lives so much more than we could ever imagine for ourselves. And so often it comes in the conversations we have with one another. As part of our conversation today, Cathy brought up the series called, THE CHOSEN and I was like, "You are kidding me, it's been on my Flocknote list since March 19 and I just haven't gotten around to sharing the info yet!!" I even pulled out my notepad to show her! Clearly it was a sign that it was time. THE CHOSEN is a crowd funded series about the life of Jesus. The producer of the series is an Evangelical who wanted to tell the story of Jesus in a contextually robust way that would speak to all believers and perhaps touch the lives of those who have not yet encountered the person of Jesus. In order to do so, he brought together a Catholic priest, a Jewish Rabbi, and an Evangelical scholar as Biblical consultants. Though it sounds like the beginning of a joke, this collaboration has produced an incredibly moving series. It's also a testament to how people of different faiths can work together to do a whole lot of good!! Click the button to find out more about THE CHOSEN:
The producer and the three Biblical consultants also do a series of Roundtable Discussions that are fascinating. Watch the following video to find out more:
