"Rediscovering" is a podcast about participating in the process of spiritual formation in our actual, everyday lives. Here, Jordan shares different writings, poems, and thoughts that have come from places of prayer and reflection.
On this episode of Rediscovering, I have the honor of interviewing Strahan Coleman, a writer and musician from New Zealand. Strahan's work has been formative in my life, and I pray that this conversation is a blessing to you! We talk about his new book, Beholding, stumbling through God-given dreams, dead dreams, grieving, and living prophetically. My favorite kind of conversation. Thank you, Strahan!

Power To Become
In the anger that comes with aching for a better world, we are left longing for power. It's inescapable, this desire to see God. John begins his gospel describing Jesus as the One who offers us "power to become children of God". But the power to become what we long to be isn't accessed through anger and control. It's accessed through trust, or acceptance of God as he is. Is there a way God is inviting you to accept him as he is, right now?
“He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him. But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God.”
John 1v11-13, NRSV

Advent of Gentleness
“The birth of righteousness and love in this stern world is always a virgin birth.” -Frederick Buechner
We're made to tell and hear stories. As we approach Christmas, we might be reminded of the slowness in our own stories. If you're like me, you'll find it hard to go through seasons of slowness without getting demanding, forceful, and even confused about whether God is still with you or not. God continually shows up in surprisingly gentle ways. He takes the long route of development, and I believe it reveals something about his nature. I believe it reveals that he cares more about you and I than he does the timeline.
Here's the poem I quoted:
“I now see this is who you’ve always been
The Writer who is unafraid to set down the pen
To look at the words written with delight and grace
Until they carry this love that cannot be erased”
