Episode notes

i think a lot of our listeners are fall into that category of what we would call the exhausted ority, right? We believe there's a large portion of americans that are just exhausted of political and cultural strife. How do you engage in political and cultural issues with a sabbath spirit built into it? Because that's the only way that the exhausted majority cannot just check out because they will tey don't have.

This week David’s theological wingman Curtis returns from his July sabbatical. He’s rested and raring to go, but rather than dive into another hot political or cultural issue, Curtis actually has some remarkable insights to share about the nature of sabbath rest and the spiritual discipline of letting go, stepping away from our illusions of ultimate control and placing all our striving in God’s hands. In the second half of this episode Curtis also shares some important thoughts about the nature of remembrance and loss based on his experience at the 9/11 Memorial. If you’re a regular listener who is tempted to skip this episode because it’s not Good Faith’s regular political/cultural fare, then this episode is even more for you.
