100 Day Rebuild
Welcome to the 100 Day Rebuild. For the next 100 days, Joseph Choi and Jason Liu will rebuild what we believe in. Follow along as we demolish, blueprint, and rebuild our worldview... from cultural to political to spiritual beliefs, and everything else in between. 🏰
John is a pastor, theologian, and Joseph's favorite Twitter influencer. He had some SUPER interesting insights that not only challenged misconceptions about Christianity and religion but also helped us begin to heal our own relationship with our spirituality.
Today we covered lots of topics including:
- The effects of losing our childlike sense of wonder
- Transcending your old worldviews
- "Contemplative Christianity"
- The long term mission of humanity
Also- we highly recommend listening til the end so you can hear the coolest benediction we've ever heard.
How do ancient religions hold up against current values? The disappointing answers to this question have caused many people to leave their traditions, and caused many more to just not want to get into religion at all.
In an effort to reconcile these values we hold, we talked to Brian about modern interpretations of ancient texts, how to integrate faith and LGBTQ issues, and religious pluralism.
In this convo we were able to dive deep into deconstruction and examine a lot of our old beliefs through a new lens. We explored:
- Is God really punitive and wrathful?
- How can faith drive social justice?
- What role does trauma play in the way we view sin, and how do we heal from it?
Carolyn offered some new narratives that we'll definitely be reflecting on as we continue with these next 100 days.
