Let us live like Christ and invite all into our home and treat them to a warm hearth and hearty food. Look into the gospel of Mathew, starting in chapter 7 and through chapter 10. Lets us strive to be open and listen to other people. Let us consider who we are as humans and Lutherans.

In this episode of BL+ we are joined by Pastor Terry from New Beginning worship community. We discuss the death and resurrection of Christ and how it feel for all of us to be entombed but un-decayed. Terry starts us off with the suggestions about maintaining one's own mental health, particularly here in Colorado. https://coloradocrisisservices.org/ http://www.umbrellacollective.org/ Pastor Nicole talks about Gaming for mental health and Jesus. Maybe we should do that? Our extroverts need us right now. Give YOUR extrovert a facetime and play monopoly together for a while, then pretend COVID-19 happens and you realize fighting over wealth and land is silly and just agree to share the whole board with each other and spend the "bankers" money on booze. Then take some time to notice your local wildlife and then sit and enjoy the silence. Pollution is down, too. Try looking at the night sky with whatever lenses you have. But stay inside! We cam flatten the curve by staying inside together. If you have any questions on how to stay together inside, email AJ at AJ@Westviewboulder.org   AJ is also beta testing some ads for the podcast. Just a test. Please leave AJ any feedback about the ads that you may have!   Please navigate to westviewboulder.org to visit our community, listen to our podcast or view our service livestream.

In this first beautiful week of April, we are still locked down. Once again, however, through the magic of the internet and some lovely tools that very smart people made, we gather once again to discuss Being Luthern and More. We are joined this week by guest Kellie Martindale. Kellie takes some time to explain the RIC process and what it means to be inclusive and AJ asks some questions about the raising of the saints in the gospel from Passion Sunday. We greatly appreciate you joining us in our conversation, and if you would like to join in on the conversation, reach out to Pastor Nicole or myself. Nicole@westviewboulder.org or aj@westviewboulder.org   If you have questions/comments/or concerns, email me, AJ, at AJ@westviewboulder.org In this time of isolation, it's important to feel connected to your community.

Thank you all for joining us! Pastor Nicole and AJ discuss the future of Lutheran church services, Pentacost and the unbinding of Lazarus. We plan on shaking things up like the resurrection of Lazarus. Things are kinda crazy right now, and it would be silly to expect that everything will be the same once we're all safer(er). We also want to hear more from our community and from Lutherans at large. To that end, if you would like to join Nicole and AJ for a conversation about what it means to you to be Lutheran or what you would like to see from the Lutheran church and it's people, please reach out to Nicole at Nicole@westviewboulder.org   If you have questions/comments/or concerns, email me, AJ, at AJ@westviewboulder.org In this time of isolation, it's important to feel connected to your community.
