Living an Open-hearted Life // TGP Episode 36

In this episode, Beth and Jenna chat about writing To The End, Blessed is She’s 2019 Lent devotional, and about how, despite being terrifying, the practice of vulnerability is actually the key to an open-hearted life -- one that imitates Jesus and the Father. Resources mentioned: "I call heaven and earth today to witness against you: I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Choose life, then, that you and your descendants may live..." // Deuteronomy 30:19 “To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.” // C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves
