This week, we share a "Space for God" devotional offered by Ken Wettig (Coracle Community Minister to the Shenandoah Valley).

Conversation | "Biblical Roots of Justice, Mercy & Humility" | Kendrick Curry & Rich Dean
This week, we share the second installment of Coracle's 2024 "Justice, Mercy & Humility" Soundings Seminar Series. This series explores the continuing relevance of Micah 6:8’s exhortation to “act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.”
In this week’s conversation, Bill Haley is joined by the co-chairs of the Coracle Board, Rev. Dr. Kendrick Curry and Rich Dean, to explore the deep biblical foundations of the pursuit of Justice and mercy in humility. They also unpack some of the areas where the church has fallen short of holding these three pursuits together, and they candidly discuss what steps are needed to bring healing and reconciliation.

Happy Easter! Christ is Risen! This week, we share a “Space for God: Beauty” devotional offered by Margot Eyring (Coracle’s Spiritual Direction Coordinator). Margot takes us on an imaginative journey through a handful of stories in which Jesus encounters people in their need, brokenness, and distress. As is always the case when Jesus encounters us, beauty and restoration are the results. May this encourage you to draw near to our Risen Lord this Easter season!

Ultimately, he helps us reframe this pivotal moment in Jesus’ ministry through the cosmic hope and longing of creation in Romans 8:23.

Customer Reviews
Yes!
So grateful for such thoughtful, timely content. This is exactly what the Church needs to move forward in helping our communities flourish…out of the overflow of what God is doing in us as we reflect on the truth.
Excited for weekly Spiritual Formation!
I have been blessed through the years by Coracle’s ability to hold together our personal relationships with God (Spiritual Formation) with our call to bring God’s presence to the brokenness we see in our world (Kingdom Action).
I’m excited to see the ways Coracle brings its unique offerings to the podcast space!
