Redemption Church Podcast

On this Formation Sunday, Christine leads us in teaching on the generous worship of Mary as she offers Jesus an anointing with perfume. We continue with a formation practice of giving and receiving – offering what we have, and asking for what we need. 

This year our theme is Jubilee: the Year of Radical Release. We've been exploring the Economics of Jesus and this March we are practicing Releasing Control as our Formation Practice. We are doing this through Sabbath. Listen in as Mike teaches on Zacchaeus and we step into our new formation practice.

As we continue to explore Jubilee and the Economics of Jesus, we are honored to welcome Erin and Kendall Dooley, co-founders of BLK South, as our Exploration Guests this morning. The Dooleys will share their story of choosing to return to the land and how this practice of Jubilee has set them on an adventure with Jesus in liberation and joy.    #jubilee #theyearofradicalrelease
