Romans 10:9-11Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “ Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”Faith is not private, because confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord is a public declaration. There is only room for one person to be Lord of your life and it's either Jesus or someone else. But the good news is that Jesus's message is for everyone.

Public Faith, Private Strength: Living as Children of God The Homily begins by reflecting on the daily act of making choices, . . . . . . beginning with a personal story about struggling to wake up early for school. This serves as a metaphor for the broader and more meaningful choices we face in life, such as choosing to be kind, forgiving, and generous. However, the most crucial decision is choosing God. God's Children Choosing God brings not only spiritual benefits, such as being gathered, cleansed, and made into God's children, but also emotional strength and confidence . . . much like the boost we feel when a parent is present and supportive. The Homily continues and draws parallels between this and recognizing God's constant presence. We hear briefly the biblical story of Jesus raising Lazarus, and true faith requires more than good works; it demands a public and unwavering profession that Jesus is the Son of God. This faith should be visible even in ordinary moments, like praying before meals in public. The season of Lent is highlighted as a special time to renew this choice for God, affirming that only in Him do we find true fulfillment and salvation. Listen to this Meditation Media.

“Love of God, love of neighbors. Seek the kingdom, the good of the world. And in that good of the whole, your own good. And be attuned to what is around you in joy and also in sorrow.” (Miroslav Volf)We're in a crisis of meaning. It's like our existential compasses are off kilter. Uprooted from faith, social, and civic communities—the very institutions that once supplied narratives, a sense of identity, and belonging.But meaning and purpose are central to our spiritual health and therefore thriving. And theology comes into play because psychologists are more concerned with how meaning is made descriptively—looking at the cognitive and affective processes of our brains and behavior. Whereas theologians are concerned with prescriptive meaning, commenting normatively about how we should live.This episode features renowned theologian Miroslav Volf (Henry B. Wright Professor of Systematic Theology at Yale Divinity School / Founder and Director of the Yale Center for Faith and Culture) and author of the bestselling book, Life Worth Living: A Guide to What Matters Most.We need stories of love and hope to define our lives. And much of Miroslav's life's work has been devoted to understanding what constitutes a life worth living.In our conversation, he shares about a God who is with us, who is loving, and who created us for love, calling us to an active role in the flourishing of this world.In this conversation, we discuss:How to discern what really matters and how to be intentional about a life worth livingThe need to challenge the hyper individualistic assumptions of our day, focusing on thriving life as a life of connections and convictionsSpiritual health as dependent on our relationships with one another, with God, and creationSpiritual practices that quiet, create space, and slow us down—allowing us to attune a broad and secure space for human becoming and unfoldingMiroslav speaks openly and vulnerably about his own experiences of faith, suffering, hope, and flourishingShow NotesLearn more about the Yale Center for Faith and CultureCheck out Miroslav's best-selling book, Life Worth Living: A Guide to What Matters Most (co-authored with Matt Croasmun and Ryan McAnnally-Linz)Reorienting theology around the concept of human flourishingHonor everyone, love God, love neighbor, seek the kingdom, stay attuned in joy and in sorrowCrisis of meaning and the need for deeper reflection on what matters most“We need stories of love and hope to define our lives.”Interdisciplinary research in psychology and theologyMiroslav reflects on his early life in 1970s Croatia (then Yugoslavia)Anthony Kronman's Education's End: Why Our Colleges and Universities Have Given Up on the Meaning of LifeMiroslav's early faith: “Jesus is alive.”“His experience was that people who believe are idiots, that they can't know anything, that they are these parasites that want to undermine whatever the society's trying to do. And so that was my first initiation, so to speak, in the public living of my faith. … but, it was also beautiful.”A way of life that is worth suffering for—holding a treasure.“Another occasion where we were actually beaten and chased out of a village that was completely communist-dominated. And we kind of disrupted it by … We spoke about Jesus … and they chased us out of the city to beat us up … and then we had this kind of sense of joy.”Practices vs ReflectionMoral practices and felt experience“There's always a kind of excess beyond what we can actually say, what we can describe, what we can explain. We stutter often when we try to—especially describe experiences like joy or like suffering. They're beyond the words. That's the beauty of them—giving oneself to them.”Miroslav Volf on thrivingThriving is framed around three elements of human experience: agency, circumstances, and emotions—knit together through the lens of the kingdom of God and Christian imaginationAgency: Love God and Love neighbor.Circumstances: “Thy kingdom come” vs “give us this day our daily bread”Emotions: Attune to the world. “Rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn.”“Love of God, love of neighbors. Seek the kingdom, the good of the world. And in that good of the whole, your own good. And be attuned to what is around you in joy and also in sorrow.”Primordial goodness: Goodness is always prior to evil.Spacious public faith and Christ as the key to flourishing lifeChrist as a moral teacher and exemplarThe “aliveness” and presence of Christ“I often don't experience God.”Martin Luther on faith: Christ as a gem, encased in our faithChurch fathers on the presence of Christ as “heated iron in fire”—the heat doesn't come from the iron but from the fired—similarly, God heats us from within.Exclusion & Embrace: A Theological Exploration of Identity, Otherness, and ReconciliationPorous boundaries and our nature as relational beingsJürgen Moltmann's autobiography A Broad Place“Religion really cramps our style… But in Miroslav's theology, personal wholeness in Christ is spacious and freeing.”Exodus 3: God promising to lead Israel out of bondage and constraint and into freedom and a broad spaceLoveRelational image of God and relationalityGod as ultimate lover—”God loves us while we are still so far away”Life Worth Living: A Guide to What Matters MostChristian faith and pluralismArticulating a coherent answer to what it means to live a life that's worthy of our humanityThe Recipe: “You can't put all the ingredients together as you wish. They have to fit together.”“We make truth claims.”“I think we go wrong when we don't honor people's own search for truth. The whole book is about having truth-seeking conversations about something that has a claim upon your life. And argue with others, but argue in such a way that honors everyone. And so for me, this is a kind of central Christian conviction that comes straight from the Bible, from 1 Peter. Short commandment: Honor everyone. That's what I need to do. Whatever they do, whatever they think, especially honor those who've spent so much time trying to think through some of these issues as many of the figures have that have, that are not necessarily Christian.”“Honor everyone.”Nurturing the ascetic practices of self-reflection and disciplineSpiritual exercise by Pam King: Creating SpaceTeresa of Avila and the Interior CastleRelationality, reciprocity, and mutual flourishingRobin Wall Kimmerer in *Braiding Sweetgrass: “*All flourishing is mutual.”“Human thriving isn't thriving when it's the expense of other people's thriving.”“And it's a kind of strange paradox. At our disposal, but it's all reference to me and to my experiences. … We have a really narrow scope of concerns.”Mary's Magnificat: “God coming and taking the mighty down from their thrones and transforming the entire world.”“What I want is the expansion of the horizon of concerns. Our horizon of concern is the horizon of God's mission in the world. God's mission is our mission.”About Miroslav VolfMiroslav Volf is the Henry B.

We are now in our final series in our Public Faith season called, “A Public Faith: Examining the Claims of the Christian Faith - A Study of John.” Nearing the end of his Gospel account, the Apostle John states that, though there was much he could have recorded, he chose to write what he wrote “so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ…” (John 20:31). Why did John write his Gospel the way he did? Why does John record different events than the other Gospels? Why are the particularities of his account worth considering? In our series, we will question what Christians claim about Jesus by looking at the significance of John's unique account.

Public Faith in Polarized Times with Mark Labberton, Claude Alexander, Walter KimIn a public square increasingly riven by tribalism, identity politics, and polarization, how can Christians wisely and faithfully engage?We were joined by Mark Labberton, Claude Alexander, and Walter Kim in August of 2021 to explore ways of understanding and approaching Christian public engagement beyond the ruts of timid quietism or belligerent culture-warring:“It's easy to think about public faith in terms of our public character. In other words, how we conduct ourselves in public. And that's critical, that's very important. The posture, the characters of integrity. The ability to bring joy and peace to others. But there's a deeper issue at stake of not merely character, but the very presence of the gospel in society, the presence of faith in society."So the gospel no longer becomes this narrow vision of personal and characterological transformation, which it is including, but it also encompasses this very expansive vision of the implications of faith for every sector of human existence and endeavor.” - Walter KimThe Church's Historic and Global WitnessDrawing on both the church's historic witness under times of stress and persecution, and the ways in which the faith is expressed globally, Labberton, Alexander, and Kim offer a vision that is both sobering and hopeful:“I do think for me, there's the assurance that God is not the least bit surprised or undone by this moment. In fact, it's quite familiar if you look back on the pages of both the Hebrew scriptures and the New Testament, you find plenty of evidences of the makings of such moments as this.“So the sense of faith against staggering power or resistance to change, or to deep confession or all of that, that's familiar biblical terrain. That's why it required the death of God in Jesus to be able to actually take all of this with the deep seriousness that it requires.” - Mark LabbertonThe Church can be a Blessing in Polarized TimesWe believe you'll find their vision for a church that can thrive in the midst of difficulty and serve as an exemplar of unity in a time of fragmentation and political polarization inspiring.This podcast is an edited version of our Online Conversation from August, 2021.

Public trust in state institutions has plummeted from 61 percent 10 years ago to 33 percent today, according to the 20th edition of the Israeli Democracy Index of the Israel Democracy Institute, which was presented this week to President Isaac Herzog. The report also showed, against the backdrop of government plans to reform the judiciary, that over a  decade, a majority of Israelis support the Supreme Court having the authority to overturn laws passed by the Knesset if they are found to be contrary to the principles of democracy. Prof. Tamar Hermann, Academic Director of the Viterbi Family Center for Public Opinion and Policy Research at the Israel Democracy Institute, spoke to KAN reporter Naomi Segal about the report.

Welcome to the 1st sermon in our series on the missional disciplines. The mission of Refuge is to “build our identity in Christ for the sake of the world.” One of the major ways we do that is to “practice” being like Jesus: following him, trusting him, becoming more of who we really are by practicing Gospel truths. This is not an effort to change who we are, it's actually an effort to become MORE of who we now are, in Christ. What we do individually in growing our relationship with Jesus, what we do with fellow followers of Jesus in growing our relationship as the Church, and what we do as the Church in proclaiming and demonstrating this new Kingdom are all important.  For the rest of August, we are going to look at 5 practices of mission or spiritual disciplines of mission. God has gifted each of us in different ways to see and be passionate about these areas, and when we work together in harmony, we carry out the mission of the church while gloriously and freely giving of our selves and leaving the results to the work of the Holy Spirit!  The 5 practices we will be looking at are: Engaging in Public Faith Gathering for Public Worship Ministries of Compassion, Mercy, and Justice Integrating Work and Faith Hospitality Each of these practices are incredibly important in the life of the New Testament Church, and we want to learn how to practice each of these better, together, as we continue to build our identity in Christ for the sake of the world!
