Stairway to Earth | Reimagining Jacob’s Ladder
In this episode we look at the story of Jacob's Ladder (or the Stairway to Heaven) found in Genesis 28. Oftentimes, this passage could be used to show that heaven is above and earth is below and the goal is to get from the earth below to heaven above. But what if we look closely at what happens in this story?What does Jacob name as the 'House of God'?In which direction are the angels going?What implications does this have for the places and spaces in which we operate and exist? The physical places and spaces, the relational space between one another, and the mental space in which we exist. Also...I might have read some good lyrics by The Dave Matthews Band for all you kids who grew up in the 90s! Enjoy!

Ripple Effects In Creation | Reimagining Noah’s Ark
The story of Noah and the Ark is a classic children's story from the Bible. We love the animals and the bravery of Noah and his family. We love the dove being sent out from the ark and coming back with an olive branch. And the story ends with a rainbow! Who doesn't love a rainbow?!But what happens when we also notice that there is an incredible loss of human life? What happens when all of creation - plants and animals - are also destroyed because of the darkness within humanity.What does this story teach us about God? What does this story teach us about what it means to be human? How can we reimagine this story?This week I'm joined by Christine Ford, associate pastor in White Bear Lake UMC. You can connect to her work at their website: http://wblumc.org/.Enjoy!
