In this episode… My fabulous fall road trip took me through 8 states, 8 hotels, and 2,500 miles of driving over the course of 16 days. I share the highlights, where I want to go back for a return visit, and what I'd do differently next time.  Resources from this episode We had a great breakfast at Wild Eggs, a restaurant chain in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio. I've been attending concerts at the Ruoff Music Center (it will always be Deer Creek to me) since it opened in 1988. This is a great venue for concerts! I also highly recommend the Embassy Suites by Hilton Noblesville Indianapolis Conference Center, within walking distance of Deer Creek.  If you are traveling through west-central Indiana, stop in at the Old 55 Distillery in Newtown, Indiana for a tasting and tour the facilities. My church is in Indianapolis, Indiana, but I participate online from Orlando in worship services, classes, and on a committee. If you're looking for a church that is open and inclusive and is doing important work to eradicate racism and discrimination, check out St. Luke's United Methodist Church.   One of my favorite activities in Nashville is to attend the Grand Ole Opry! Franklin, Tennessee has a delightful downtown area with shops and restaurants. I had a delicious lunch at Puckett's Restaurant. In Birmingham, I stayed at the beautiful Renaissance Birmingham Ross Bridge Golf Resort & Spa. The buffet breakfast in particular is divine! Cruise with Us!

Gil Rendle says in the intro that this conversation with Father Greg Boyle is “one of the richest conversations I've ever been in.” How grateful we are to have recorded this beautiful and rich back and forth between Gil, Rev. Lisa Greenwood, Father Boyle and Rev. Justin Coleman! Father Boyle's approach to gang intervention rehabilitation and re-entry at his organization Homeboy Industries is not really about providing services, although they do provide holistic services from education to tattoo removal. The real heart of the work is relationship and creating a culture of kinship, tenderness, and joy. Boyle returns again and again to the heart of God and the heart of Jesus, inviting us again and again to embrace our own belovedness and everyone else's belovedness.   In this conversation… Gil shares the difference between the work of improving and the work of creating (01:06) The short game of trying experiments and the long game of deep institutional work (04:39) Father Boyle's vocational journey that led him to start Homeboy Industries (16:41) Providing services vs being in relationship (22:35) The theology that guides Father Boyle (31:58) When there is so much grief and pain, how do you not get caught up in a constant cycle of desolation? (36:54) Creating a culture of the Gospel (42:03) Why Father Boyle says “Gang members have taught me everything of value.” (50:41)   QUOTES “We're always getting ahead of ourselves, right? Just about tomorrow or lamenting what I did yesterday. Ouch. Why did I say that? And as opposed to staying anchored in the present moment. I think that's where the joy is.” -Father Boyle [27:41] “Don't just look at the services. Look at the language that's being used. Look at the approach towards the other person.” -Rev. Coleman [48:54]   Father Greg Boyle's bio Gregory Boyle is an American Jesuit priest and the founder of Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, the largest gang-intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry program in the world. He has received the California Peace Prize and been inducted into the California Hall of Fame. In 2014, the White House named Boyle a Champion of Change. He received the University of Notre Dame's 2017 Laetare Medal, the oldest honor given to American Catholics. He is the acclaimed author of Tattoos on the Heart and Barking to the Choir.  The Whole Language is his third book, and all net proceeds go to Homeboy Industries.    Rev. Justin Coleman's bio Justin grew up in Texas, and attended Southern Methodist University, graduating in 2000 with a major in religious studies.  He, too, was highly active in SMU's Wesley Foundation, and served as Associate Pastor at SMU's Wesley Foundation from 2001 to 2003 as he began seminary studies at SMU's Perkins School of Theology.  Justin transferred to Duke Divinity School in 2003 and graduated with a Master of Divinity in 2005. Justin's first clergy appointment was to University UMC, as an intern in 2004 and then as Associate Pastor from 2005 to 2007.  In 2007, Justin was called back to the Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church, where he is an elder, and was appointed Associate Pastor at St. Luke's United Methodist Church in Houston, Texas.  For six years from 2008 to 2014, Justin served as the Executive and Lead Pastor of the Gethsemane Campus of St. Luke's Church and led it through a remarkable period of growth in ministry and service to its community.  From 2014 to June 2017 Justin served as the Chief Ministry Officer of the United Methodist Publishing House in Nashville, Tennessee.  During this time, he has also continued to frequently offer lectures, sermons, and lead worship.   RESOURCES & RELEVANT LINKS Read Gil Rendle's paper “Jacob's Bones” for free off our TMF website here.

The reason why there are so many dots we can't connect is because we are trying to make sense out of our lives with our heads and not our hearts. Listen to Pastor Jevon as he starts the new series Connecting the Dots and talks about Joseph's dreams and how most often, God doesn't make sense, but His ultimate goals come to fruition for us all.   See sermon notes and more at https://stlukesumc.com/sermons.     Subscribe to receive our latest messages: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2noPhgDOhmto8RUWahIww?sub_confirmation=1     To support St. Luke's United Methodist Church in our mission to be an open, antiracist, justice-seeking church, visit https://stlukesumc.com/give.    We are an open community of Christians helping people find and give hope through Jesus Christ - regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, nationality, disability, or socioeconomic background.      ——  STAY CONNECTED  Website: https://stlukesumc.com  St. Luke's UMC Facebook: https://facebook.com/stlukesindy  St. Luke's UMC Instagram: https://instagram.com/stlukesindy   St. Luke's UMC Twitter: https://twitter.com/stlukesindy  St. Luke's UMC YouTube: https://youtube.com/stlukesindy  St. Luke's UMC Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/stlukesindy 

Choose to believe people who hurt us don't know better. No healthy person is born to hurt. Typically when people cheat or act selfishly or thoughtlessly toward others its because of their insecurity or fear or lack of receiving compassion themselves. Most of them time when we hurt others its because we've been hurt. Hurting people hurt people.   See sermon notes and more at https://stlukesumc.com/sermons.     Subscribe to receive our latest messages: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2noPhgDOhmto8RUWahIww?sub_confirmation=1     To support St. Luke's United Methodist Church in our mission to be an open, antiracist, justice-seeking church, visit https://stlukesumc.com/give.    We are an open community of Christians helping people find and give hope through Jesus Christ - regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, nationality, disability, or socioeconomic background.      ——  STAY CONNECTED  Website: https://stlukesumc.com  St. Luke's UMC Facebook: https://facebook.com/stlukesindy  St. Luke's UMC Instagram: https://instagram.com/stlukesindy   St. Luke's UMC Twitter: https://twitter.com/stlukesindy  St. Luke's UMC YouTube: https://youtube.com/stlukesindy  St. Luke's UMC Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/stlukesindy 

Paul writes and says, “We appeal to you, brothers and sisters, to respect those who labor among you, and have charge of you in the Lord and admonish you; esteem them very highly in love because of their work.” Now, it sounds like some simple, off the cuff advice from Paul to people not responding well to criticism, but if you think about this topic and start to tease out the depths of the idea you realize this is a matter that has application for every area of our lives and can determine the level of our success and satisfaction. So let's consider the importance of learning to handle criticism well. I've organized these around three R's. The first stands for Receive. Receive Criticism Non-defensively. We all need helpful criticism to be better and we all need people who can be tough with us if we're going to stay sharp.  Respond Rather than React to Criticism. When we respond, when we listen, ask questions, show appreciation and answer calmly, we give opportunity for something productive to occur. Realize More Is Usually at Stake than a Single Relationship. When we handle criticism in a way that leads to breakthrough, growth, respect, you can count on the fact that more people will benefit than just us and our critics.   See sermon notes and more at https://stlukesumc.com/sermons.     Subscribe to receive our latest messages: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2noPhgDOhmto8RUWahIww?sub_confirmation=1     To support St. Luke's United Methodist Church in our mission to be an open, antiracist, justice-seeking church, visit https://stlukesumc.com/give.    We are an open community of Christians helping people find and give hope through Jesus Christ - regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, nationality, disability, or socioeconomic background.      ——  STAY CONNECTED  Website: https://stlukesumc.com  St. Luke's UMC Facebook: https://facebook.com/stlukesindy  St. Luke's UMC Instagram: https://instagram.com/stlukesindy   St. Luke's UMC Twitter: https://twitter.com/stlukesindy  St. Luke's UMC YouTube: https://youtube.com/stlukesindy  St. Luke's UMC Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/stlukesindy

We know that Mother's Day can bring so many emotions. For some, it's a day of joy, others a day of grief. For most moms, 2020 was difficult in ways we could have never seen coming.
