“I once was lost, but now am found, ‘twas blind, but now I see.” “'Twas blind, but now I see.” These are the words that come from the lips of the blind man who was healed in today's gospel reading. However, most of you know them best as part of the hymn, “Amazing Grace,” written by John Newton. In his first career John Newton was a sea captain, and a slave trader. During a violent storm he cried out for Christ's mercy. He was “saved” from the violent storm and his life was transformed. He eventually became a minister of the gospel, and he played an important role in the abolitionist movement in England. It was after that transformational experience that he wrote the hymn “Amazing Grace.” “'Twas blind, but now I see.” All of today's readings connect in some way to blindness and sight.  In the First Reading we have the prophet Samuel who is able to see what David's father, Jesse, cannot see – that this youngest son of less lofty stature, forgotten and out in the fields, is the chosen one. Jesse's youngest son, David, is the one God has chosen to be king of Israel. And Samuel essentially communicates this message, “Humans see only appearances, but God sees the heart.” “'Twas blind, but now I see.” In today's Second Reading from Ephesians, we hear words encouraging us to do our own “shadow work” as Richard Rohr would say, our own work on self.  That is where we look to discover our blind spots.  We are encouraged to bring our self-deceptions into the light. At the time when Ephesians was written, those who were preparing to be baptized were being encouraged to do what was called a  moral inventory and look at their own self. Psychologists will tell you that we must bring our shames and our denials into the light, or they kill us from within. In essence, this is what repentance is about, and it brings not only newness of life, but also a new way of seeing. “'Twas blind, but now I see.” Finally, we come to today's gospel reading. This passage from John's gospel is one of the most profound and rich in the whole New Testament.  Today we are given this great theater-piece of a Gospel reading about a man born blind. In fact, because this story has so many clear roles, interacting characters, and dramatic lines, some scholars think this story was enacted in sanctuaries in the early church.  While there are layers and layers of meaning in this passage, we can only touch upon the surface here this morning.  However, I want to share with you some of the major themes so you cannot miss them. And I invite you to take your bulletin home and think about them throughout the week. Here is the way Richard Rohr lists the major themes: The “man born blind” is the archetype for all of us at the beginning of life's journey. The moral blame game as to why or who caused human suffering is a waste of time. The man does not even ask to be healed. It is just offered and given. Religious authorities are often more concerned about control and correct theology than actually healing people. They are presented as narrow and unloving people throughout the story. Many people have made their spiritual conclusions before the facts are in front of them. The man is a predefined “sinner” and has no credibility for them. Belief in and love of Jesus come after the fact, subsequent to the healing. Perfect faith or motivation is not always a prerequisite for God's action. Sometimes God does things for God's own purposes. Spirituality is about seeing. Sin is about blindness, or as Gregory of Nyssa once said, “Sin is always a refusal to grow.” Finally, the one who knows little, learns much and those who have all their answers already, learn nothing. “Twas blind, but now I see.” Today's gospel reading is one in which Jesus invites us into the story, a reading that is truly our story, and it speaks to multiple forms of blindness. This reading not only addresses one man's literal blindness. It also addresses a simplistic understanding of sin that was a common view of the day, yet another form of blindness. When the disciples voice this simplistic understanding of sin by referencing disability or hardship as somehow the result of sin, Jesus adamantly disagrees. Also, when the Pharisees assume that knowledge of the law automatically grants righteousness, Jesus counters this thinking by saying that precisely because they deny their sin and claim to “see,” they are in fact sinning and they are the blind ones. Jesus says this because “sin” at its most basic level is not recognizing Jesus as God's messiah, the person through whom God is at work to save the world. Blindness is not about the quality of our vision or the condition of our eyes. It is not about the darkness around us but, rather the darkness within us.  How we se others, what we see in the world, the way we see life, is always less about the objects of our seeing and more about ourselves.  Too often, we do not see God, people, things, or circumstances as they are but as WE are.  Until our eyes are opened by Christ, our seeing is really just a projection of ourselves onto the world. What we see and how we see manifest and make known our inner world.  They describe and point to the fears, attachments, and beliefs within us. If we wish to see God, life, and others as they really are then we must attend to what is going on within us. True seeing begins in the heart, not the eyes. We must begin to acknowledge the fears, attachments, and beliefs that live within us and how they have impaired our vision. To follow Jesus is to see differently. Sometimes, to follow Jesus is to be brought into a messy situation, maybe even a crisis. But, in the mess, God is doing a new thing. And, to have a conversation with Jesus and follow him is to be opened to newness. Sometimes, this newness means discovering we are blinded when we think we see perfectly. Sometimes, this newness means to be given new insight, a new way of thinking and being. This blind man was made new, and he was given new sight, a new life, and a new chance. Theologian, Nadia Bolz Weber, writes, “New is often messy. New looks like recovering alcoholics. New looks like reconciliation between family members who don't actually deserve it. New looks like every time I manage to admit I was wrong and every time I manage to not mention when I'm right. New looks like a very fresh start and every act of forgiveness. New is the thing we never saw coming – never even hoped for – like our blind guy in this story. But new ends up being what I needed all along.” And, by the way, such newness is also what we call grace, it is what we call love. Bolz-Weber continues by saying, “God simply keeps reaching down…reaching down into the dirt of your humanity and resurrecting you from the graves you dig for yourself through your violence, your lies, your selfishness, your arrogance, and your addictions. And God keeps loving you back to life over and over….There are times when faith feels like a friendship with God. But there are other times when it feels….I don't know….more vacant. Yet none of that matters in the end. How you feel about Jesus or how close you feel to God is meaningless next to how God acts upon you. How God indeed enters into your messy life and loves you through it, maybe whether you want God's help or not.” Yes, maybe whether you want God's help or not. In today's story, one of the most remarkable things is the fact that the blind man didn't seek out Jesus or ask for his help. Yet, he was healed and made whole in the end. And the powerful, life-giving truth of the gospel is that our suffering, our grief, and even our sin, will not have the last word. This story is truly our story. The inner darkness of our fears, our attachments, and beliefs is what keeps us from seeing. They cover our eyes like the mud on the eyes of the man born blind. In placing mud on the blind man's eyes, Jesus is holding before him the reality of his blindness. He wears thick black lenses of fear, attachments, and beliefs. We all do. Those who know this are sent to wash in the pool, to be re-created, to be made new in the waters of our baptism, and to see with new eyes. And, as the cool and refreshing waters of life wash over us – those baptismal waters in which we daily live – our eyes and our hearts are opened to behold the living Christ, standing before us as the chains of death and hell lay broken at his feet. There is then no other response than to raise our voice and cry out at last, “'Twas blind, but now I see! Lord! I believe!”

The disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray and he did. The way he opens the prayer both connects us to the season of Lent and frames what prayer is and how we're to approach it.

Nadia Bolz-Weber grew up in a community equating sexual purity with holiness. Now that she's a pastor, Bolz-Weber is calling for a broader definition of Christian sex. Then, how the Forest Service's first landscape architect protected wildernesses. Next, remembering Cold War veterans. Finally, hear Denver rapper Trev Rich on the "Spider-verse" soundtrack.

In episode 5, the sisters discuss human touch and other topics relevant to the #shamelessbook by @sarcasticlutheran Pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber. Naomi shares her thoughts after catching Nadia on her book tour. From perceptions around different kinds of human touch to purity culture and Christian charm school books, this episode takes another look at the way many of us were taught to “love the right way” according to Christianity and purity/abstinence culture. Join the discussion! What were you taught growing up about modesty, sexual purity, virginity, waiting til marriage til have sex, etc. Let us know in the comments below!Also mentioned: Rage Becomes Her by Soraya Chemaly and Doing Harm by Maya Dusenbery, Christian Charm Course by Emily Hunter and For The Love Podcast with Jen Hatmaker, as well as The Paranormal Podcast and everything Jim Harold.More About Shameless by Nadia Bolz-Weber Raw, intimate, and timely, Nadia Bolz-Weber’s latest book offers a full-blown overhaul of our harmful and antiquated ideas about sex, gender, and our bodies. Christians are obsessed with sex. But not in a good way. For generations countless people have suffered pain, guilt, and judgment as a result of this toxic fixation on sex, the body, and physical pleasure. In the follow-up to her celebrated New York Times bestseller Accidental Saints, Bolz-Weber unleashes her critical eye, her sharp pen, and her vulnerable but hopeful soul on the caustic, fear-riddled, and religiously inspired messages about sex that have fed our shame. In turn, Bolz-Weber offers no simple amendments or polite compromises, because the stakes are too high—and our souls and our bodies are worth too much. Instead, this tattooed, swearing, modern-day pastor calls for a new reformation. She urges us to take antiquated, sexist ideas about sex, gender, and our bodies and “burn them the f*ck down and start all over.” This is a journey of holy resistance. Along the way, as anecdotes to shame, heresy, and all-too-familiar injustice, Bolz-Weber dispenses grace, freedom, and courage. She shares stories, poetry, and scripture, cultivating resilient hope and audacious love rooted in good news that is “powerful enough, transgressive enough, and beautiful enough to heal not only the ones who have been hurt but also those who have done the hurting.”In Bolz-Weber’s most personal, bracingly honest book yet, she shares intimately about her life, with her trademark blend of vulnerability, humor, and candor. If you’ve been mistreated, confused, angered, and/or wounded by the shaming sexual messages so prevalent in religion, this one is for you.Also, be sure to tune into the next time for a special episode with Lydia’s good friends Bethany LaRue and Matt Brown of We Didn’t Ask for This Podcast!Get in touch with us at:Email: weturnedoutfine@gmail.comWebsite: weturnedoutfine.comTwitter: weturnedoutfineInstagram: wtofpodcastWe Turned Out Fine is created and produced by Naomi and Lydia Jackson and all editing elements by Lydia Jackson. ©2019 We Turned Out Fine.

Publicity-hound in sheep’s clothing, Nadia Bolz-Weber, former pastor of a fake church in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) denomination, is in the news again. Last August, Bolz-Weber made the news by proclaiming that “consumption of pornography” shouldn’t be shamed. In her view, there’s nothing intrinsically wrong with watching “ethically sourced” porn as long as people consume it in moderation. Her defense of the moderate use of ethically sourced porn is that “People have viewed erotic imagery since we could scratch it on the inside of caves” and that “[o]ur bodies are wired” to respond to porn. No …
