26: On Place: Where do we go from here?

After three great episodes on how our places shape our loves and what we do about it as believers, Ashley Hales and Brandon J. O’Brien give listeners a road map for what to do next. We invite you into a thicker discussion about faith and culture here at the Finding Holy Podcast.

Even with different places and cultural histories, we’ve been able to identify why place matters with @dennaepierre @brandonjobrien and @aahales on #findingholypodcast. Listen in.

The places we live pre-date us. Our relationship to place and time are complex. @aahales and @brandonjobrien on #findingholypodcast

Staying put helps you take place seriously for your own formation. Listen in to @josehumphreys @dennaepierre @brandonjobrien on #findingholypodcast on culture, church planting and place.

There’s something deeply Christ-like to stay put, to let a place shape you even if you expect there are ‘better’ opportunities elsewhere. Listen in to @aahales and @brandonjobrien on a #theologyofplace on #findingholypodcast.

ONE SMALL STEP

We ask you a few questions to help you work through your spot in your place:

• Look at the root systems where you live — how did things become the way they are? Start as locally and concretely as possible.
• How can I see a bigger picture about what my place is really like right now? What do I not see?
• Explore the idea of staying put — what’s appealing and what’s scary about it? Place effects us internally.
• What is God asking me to do right now: Who is in front of me who needs to be seen?
