Whether we are aware of it or not, everyone is being "baptized." While the church baptizes believers in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the culture is baptizing us into the trinitarian values of consumption, production, and acquisition. This week on the Lifeschool Podcast we talk with author and pastor Eric Peterson and get a pastoral perspective on the power of baptism to lead people deeply into a more sacred way of life. When we operate out of our identity–believing that we are God’s beloved children and that our heavenly Dad is really pleased with us–we can live in freedom and a deeper connection to others, seeing everyone as part of the same divine family. No longer do we need to prove our worth or importance or earn our Fathers affection. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

How our culture is constantly “baptizing” us in ways we may not be aware of.
Why Christian baptism reshapes our identity and worldview.
How the Church today has largely lost the full significance and power of baptism.
Ways to embrace the implications of your baptism throughout each day.

Get started here... From this episode: “Pay attention to how often water is present and its importance in your daily life. Let it remind you, like the sacrament of your baptism, that you are now immersed into your true and restored trinitarian identity. You can now live as a full-fledged member of God’s family of missionary servants, sent as a disciple of Jesus into your world to make more disciples...filling the world with God’s glory.”

176. 2020年最难的一段日子里，你是怎么熬过来的 | My Way

再过一个星期，2020年就要结束了，这是怎样的一年呢？每个人答案都会不一样，但我想，应该很少有人会怀念这一年。

看理想电台在今年1月份上线的《My Way》年华特约专栏一直关注我们日常生活的很多困境，生育、留学、自由职业、亚健康、年龄焦虑、亲子关系等等，作为今年的最后一期，我们想邀请你一起关注和分享“希望”这件事。

本期年华特约专栏《My Way》由看理想与怡园酒庄联合出品

这一年你或许有不少觉得看不见前方、坚持不下去的时刻，到底是怎样的希望和信念支撑着你呢？

前段时间，我拜托同事帮我在微博和粉丝群做征集，邀请各位看理想电台的朋友聊聊“2020年最难的一段日子里，你是怎么熬过来的”这件事。我挑选了一些在这里和你分享，也希望他们的故事能给更多人一些温暖和力量。

另外，设计部唐醋排骨今天在公司休息室用年华2019煮了热红酒，味道好极了！今天是平安夜，祝大家平安夜快乐，也预祝圣诞节快乐呀~
