During each episode of the Open to Wonder podcast, hosts Chris Schoon and yours truly explore with our guests all kinds of faith questions: big ones, small ones, weird ones, and hard-to-talk-about-in-church ones, and we invite listeners to imagine what faith looks like in our day-to-day lives.
In Season One, we went Beyond Sunday to explore the ways in which faith is formed during the hours we spend outside the church’s buildings. Those episodes laid a wonderful foundation for the ‘Bonus Episode’ conversation we had with with activist, author, pastor and sought-after speaker, Sandra Van Opstal. Sandra spoke on Worship, Justice and the Two Words That Can Shape How We Love Our Neighbors—and what a conversation it was! So. Much. Wisdom.
In fact, even though I was present for the live conversation with Sandra, I’ve since listened to the recording three times (and counting!) because every time I hear it I come away with fresh notes, quotes and insights to apply in my own life. The best part? Like our guests in Season One, what Sandra said about the ways in which faith is formed and lived out in daily life was both challenging and do-able.
Here’s how to use our conversation with Sandra to start your own conversation (with your congregation, small group, friends and/or family) on living justly:
