Episode notes

i think we're all caught in this flow of loss, and we can't avoid that. i would really encourage you to visit the korean war memorial. It's one of the most profoundly moving memorials i've ever seen. And if we are trying to re constantly recapture what was lost, where we are going to live a futile, exhausting life. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this is just an amazing, like, post-war era of gain.

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.
