About This Sermon SeriesThe Bible is full of names like Abraham, Moses, David, Jonah, Peter, and Paul. They and others like them are well-known even to many people who don't follow Jesus. They are almost legendary stories that stand out from many others that are told in the pages of Scripture. But when we look closer, we find that there are literally hundreds of people who played a significant role in the history of the church who we know very little about, except that God worked through them to make a big difference. They don't catch your attention at first glance, but the reality is that simply because they were willing, God took these seemingly ordinary people and made them stand out in the crowd. This series tells their stories and helps us understand how Jesus wants to do the same things in our lives today. This Week's EpisodeThis week Pastor Jimmy concludes this series by telling the story of Demas, who is only mentioned three short times in the Bible, but whose brief cameo appearance is a cautionary tale of the dangers of allowing ourselves to be distracted by the empty offerings of the world and lured by temptation. Pastor Jimmy gives us a plan for how to withstand temptation, and reminds us to fix our focus on Jesus, because where our eyes go, our lives will follow. Wondering what to do with what you've heard?

Episode 36 features Valeria Luiselli's "Faces in the Crowd," a novella we loved and can't recommend enough. Our discussion includes a bit of her non-fiction, especially her essay "Relingos," as well as various interviews in which she shares her approach to writing and structure. Luiselli allows shifts in point of view and temporality to intermingle and eventually blend together in a story of a writer writing of her days obsessing over a poet in New York City. The novella is both dark and funny, and subtly deals with the way in which our pasts integrate and thus disintegrate our presents, and how identities shapeshift when lost in foreign lands and art. Episode 36 concludes our miniseries on Mexican authors, but rest assured it shall be continued! Let us know what you thought of the episode and the novella via social media, or email us at thecasualacademic@gmail.com. Stay casual, Alex & Jake

Valeria Luiselli's first novel reminds us of what it's like to be young and in love with literature.
