Ep. 25: The Spiritual Practice of Paying Attention: How Poetry, Truth-Telling, and Living Into Your Questions Can Bring You Closer to God and Your Neighbor, with Drew Jackson Created For
-
- Christianity
“Faith is always asking to put flesh on.” In this episode Drew Jackson invites us to explore how our profession of faith is connected to our story, context, neighborhood, historical context, and embodied life. As we pay attention, engage in truth telling, lament, and explore our questions we can understand more of who God created us to be.
Drew is a New York City based pastor and poet. His debut book, God Speaks Through Wombs: Poems on God’s Unexpected Coming is a deep and resounding reflection on the first 8 chapters of the Gospel of Luke. In our time with Drew, he treated us to a special reading of one of the poems entitled, “I Struggle with the Word Deserves.” His poem is included in our show notes so that you can follow along.
You can also find an episode reflection with invitations for deeper self-examination and more resources in our show notes.
