Pursuing Humility

Throughout the season of Lent, we’ll be releasing weekly episodes focused on themes of reflection, prayer, and contemplation. As you listen to this episode, we invite you to take a moment to slow down, quiet your heart, and hear what God may be saying to you.

Throughout the season of Lent, we’re releasing weekly episodes focused on spiritual practices.

We live in an age of speed and overwhelm, where we often feel we are expected to do more, move faster, work harder, brush past boundaries and limits, and shave margins. When we inevitably fail to meet all demands, we are left feeling not only exhausted, but often diminished.

“Part of what you start to see is that… our limits … are actually what foster our relationship with God, with others, even with the earth … that’s the stuff of life.”

 

But what if, instead of seeing our limitations as an impediment, we could learn to view them as a blessing, even a gift? In You’re Only Human, theologian and scholar Kelly Kapic provides a theologically grounded approach to understanding and receiving the gift of our human finitude.

He offers us a way to find joy and relief in our incarnational limits and use them to foster greater freedom, spiritual growth, and deeper community.

This podcast is drawn from our Online Conversation from December 2022. You can access the full conversation with transcript here.
