A new paper in the New England Journal of Medicine—written by two Canadian critical-care physicians and a Harvard Medical School bioethicist—asks whether the dead donor rule should be "reassessed" for MAiD patients. Specifically, it explores whether organs could be retrieved while a patient is sedated, unconscious, and still alive, with the organ retrieval itself becoming the cause of death.As reported by the National Post, the authors argue that requiring a formal declaration of death before organ retrieval may be "ethically arbitrary," and describe the proposal as "a Pareto improvement: no one would be made worse off."In this episode, we break down:- What the paper actually says, including its important caveats. The authors are not calling for the dead donor rule to be abandoned, no jurisdiction is currently considering this proposal, and they explicitly call for "open, transparent dialogue."- Why this proposal has unmistakable Canadian fingerprints. Canada now leads the world in organ donation after MAiD, with 41 cases in 2021 compared with 20 combined across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Spain. Since 2016, there have been more than 155 MAiD organ donors in Canada.- The five-minute "no-touch" protocol that currently separates death from organ retrieval, and why some researchers believe it should be reconsidered.- The objections from within the medical ethics community, including bioethicist Lainie Friedman Ross, who told NPR: "Which I think is murder."- The broader pattern: 2016 (terminal illness only), 2021 (terminal illness requirement removed), and March 2027 (mental illness eligibility). The phrase "No one is proposing that" has often meant "not yet published." This proposal is now published in one of the world's leading medical journals.I warned for years that euthanasia and organ donation were on a path toward convergence and was repeatedly told it was misinformation.Now, the discussion is appearing in a peer-reviewed medical journal.SOURCESSharon Kirkey, "'Death by organ donation': Doctors raise possibility of retrieving organs from MAID patients while they are still alive," National Post (July 23, 2026):https://unpublished.ca/news-feed-item/2026-07-23/death-by-organ-donation-doctors-raise-possibility-of-retrieving-organs"Contextualizing the Dead Donor Rule in an Era of Voluntary Euthanasia," New England Journal of Medicine:https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMms2601611NPR – Lainie Friedman Ross interview:https://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/npr/nx-s1-5883714/a-new-proposal-for-organ-donation-sparks-concernCanadian Blood Services – Professional guidance on organ donation and MAiD:https://professionaleducation.blood.ca/en/organs-and-tissues/professional-guidance/deceased-donation-after-maidNational Post (prior reporting) – American recipient of a heart from an Ontario ALS patient who died by MAiD:https://ca.news.yahoo.com/american-man-gets-heart-38-110042532.htmlPRE-ORDERDo No Harm?: How the Healthcare Industry Legalized Murder (Skyhorse, March 2027)https://www.amazon.com/dp/151078893XBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenDo No Harm? - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1683585763?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_SC8YGT87SPJ1VB8SAYP1Let's connect!Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenRumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -Ketone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

July 15, 2026 - Vacation Bible School Day 4 - Wednesday PM Bible Class In this episode of the Wednesday evening class Chris opens with community announcements then turns to a focused study of Mark 9 and the father's plea, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief." The session examines how that personal struggle with doubt connects to a larger defense of Scripture's authority. Topics covered include the inspiration and unity of the Bible, illustrated by key passages (Mark 9:24; 2 Peter 1:20–21; 2 Timothy 3:16) and practical apologetics. Chris reviews recent class presentations by Bill (archaeological consistency), Dale (fulfilled prophecy), and Joey (scientific consistencies), and draws on an Apologetics Press illustration (Eric Lyons) provided in the course guide from Neil to show how improbable it would be for many diverse human authors to produce a seamless, enduring book without divine guidance. Evidence for unity highlighted in the episode: the 1,600-year span and 40 authors behind 66 books, multiple languages and continents, diverse backgrounds (from Pharaoh's house to fishermen, physicians to statesmen), harmony of theme (Old Testament — Christ is coming; Gospels — Christ came; Acts–Revelation — Christ is coming back), and consistency of moral instruction and historical detail. Specific textual examples include the consistency on lying (Exodus 20, Proverbs, Ephesians) and Paul's and Peter's attestations to Scripture's divine origin and permanence. Chris draws one of the program's most vivid demonstrations by linking Genesis 2–3 with Revelation 21–22: the river and the tree of life, the presence and removal of the curse, and the promise that God will make all things new—showing how the end of human history echoes its beginning and reinforcing the claim that Scripture is unified and God-breathed. Takeaways and practical points: the Bible's unity and longevity point to divine authorship; Scripture is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction; believers are encouraged to keep the Word before them, study it closely, and use it as the "sword of the Spirit" in personal doubt and daily witness.   Duration 38:02

The theme at this year's Garma festival is Bukmak, which means everyone in Yolngu language — an expression of unity and a celebration of the diversity of modern Australia. And it was the tragic death of one five-year-old little girl, Kumanjayi Little Baby in April that has become a powerful symbol of what's possible when a community comes together.

Unity in the church is good sign for believers, but we must know the effect it has on the watching world.

It's COOL Summer—our season of coloring outside of the lines! Every Sunday brings a different interactive experience designed to deepen connection, inspire growth, and make spirituality something we don't just hear about, but practice together. This week, we'll discover the power of shared rhythm and sacred sound. Through simple chants and drumming, we'll experience the joy, presence, and deep connection that arise when we lift our voices and move as one. No musical experience is needed—just an open mind, an open heart, and a willingness to join the rhythm. Feel free to play along at home!

When the unity of the Spirit in the church extends from worship to fellowship, the witness of the church is strengthened, and the gospel will go forth. 1. Unity in worship 2. Unity in care 3. Unity in fellowship 4. Unity advances the gospel

In 1 Corinthians 11, Paul confronts the Corinthian church for turning the Lord's Supper into a source of division rather than unity. This sermon reflects on communion as a remembrance of Christ's broken body and shed blood, calling believers to examine how they treat one another within the body of Christ. Following Jesus means self-denial, humility, and love that elevates others above personal comfort or preference. The Lord's Supper reminds the church that Christ's sacrifice binds believers together and calls them to live as one.

Yothu Yindi Foundation CEO Denise Bowden welcomed delegates to the Garma Festival with an opening address centred on this year's theme, Bukmak (Everyone).

I'm sorry," Seongho said.Ko: 민지는 다시 입을 열었다.En: Minji spoke again.Ko: "그리고, 현우도. 너도 우리와 함께 있어줬으면 좋겠어."En: "And, Hyunwoo, too. I hope you'll be with us."Ko: 현우는 생각에 잠김 듯 고개를 끄덕였다.En: Hyunwoo nodded thoughtfully.Ko: "맞아, 나도 무심했던 것 같아. 미안해."En: "Yeah, I guess I've been neglectful. I'm sorry."Ko: 가족은 그 순간 서로를 마주 보았다.En: The family looked at each other at that moment.Ko: 그들의 옆에서 흘러 나오던 음악은 따뜻하게 변했다.En: The music flowing beside them turned warm.Ko: 민지는 미소를 지었다.En: Minji smiled.Ko: 그녀는 느꼈다, 작은 변화가 시작되었다고.En: She felt that a small change had begun.Ko: 그 날 이후, 가족은 서로에게 솔직해지기로 했다.En: After that day, the family decided to be honest with each other.Ko: 민지는 자신이 필요로 하는 것에 대해 더 적극적으로 이야기할 것이다.En: Minji would be more proactive in talking about what she needed.Ko: 이제 그들은 함께 걷기 시작한 것이다, 더욱 단단한 가족으로.En: Now they began to walk together, as a stronger family.

Fluent Fiction - Serbian: Finding Unity: A Family's Journey Under the Sunset's Glow Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sr/episode/2026-08-01-07-38-19-sr Story Transcript:Sr: У селу испод зелених брда, где летњи ветар лагано шушти кроз жита, налазила се стара породична кућа Јована и Милана.En: In the village below the green hills, where the summer breeze gently rustles through the wheat fields, there was an old family house belonging to Jovan and Milan.Sr: Њихова ћерка Сара управо је стигла из града, доносећи са собом енергију младости и свежине утабаним путевима.En: Their daughter Sara had just arrived from the city, bringing with her the energy of youth and freshness to the well-trodden paths.Sr: Стари дрвени трпезаријски сто био је прекривен укусним српским јелима: сарма, ајвар, и свеже печени раж.En: The old wooden dining table was covered with delicious Serbian dishes: sarma, ajvar, and freshly roasted lamb.Sr: Те вечери, мирис хране био је једини сведок борбе која се спремала.En: That evening, the aroma of the food was the only witness to the struggle that was about to unfold.Sr: Мила је поставила тањире и позвала породицу да седне.En: Mila set the plates and called the family to sit.Sr: Сунце је залазило за хоризонт, бојећи собу топлим наранџастим сјајем.En: The sun was setting beyond the horizon, bathing the room in a warm orange glow.Sr: Јован је седео на челу стола, осећајући тежину речи које је желео да изговори.En: Jovan sat at the head of the table, feeling the weight of the words he wanted to say.Sr: Последњих неколико месеци осећао је да му недостаје поштовање које је заслуживао.En: In recent months, he felt that he lacked the respect he deserved.Sr: Напетост је тињала међу њима попут тишине која се вукла уз ивицу стола.En: Tension simmered among them like the silence hanging at the edge of the table.Sr: „Да ли је све у реду?“ упита Сара гледајући свог оца.En: "Is everything alright?" asked Sara, looking at her father.Sr: Јован је само уздахнуо, свестан да је дошао тренутак за искрен разговор.En: Jovan simply sighed, aware that the moment for an honest conversation had come.Sr: „Треба нам више времена заједно,“ рече Јован, глас му би умерено потресен, али стабилан.En: "We need more time together," said Jovan, his voice moderately shaken but steady.Sr: „Чини ми се да заборављамо шта нам је важно.“En: "It seems to me that we're forgetting what's important to us."Sr: Милин поглед је ослабнуо.En: Mila's gaze softened.Sr: Бацила је кратак поглед на Сару, затим поново гледала Јована.En: She cast a brief glance at Sara, then turned her eyes back to Jovan.Sr: „Јоване, знамо да радиш напорно, али понекад...“ почне она, али му се глас изненада прекиде због сопствених емоција.En: "Jovane, we know you work hard, but sometimes..." she began, but her voice suddenly faltered due to her own emotions.Sr: „Понекад осећам да ме узимате здраво за готово,“ каза Јован искрено.En: "Sometimes I feel taken for granted," said Jovan sincerely.Sr: „Али желим да изразим како се стварно осећам, када нас све једно вече окупим.“En: "But I want to express how I really feel, when I gather us all one evening."Sr: Тишина је владала неколико тренутака; онда је Сара проговорила, нежно али одлучно: „Тата, нисмо ти никад желели да те повредимо.En: Silence reigned for a few moments; then Sara spoke, gently but firmly: "Dad, we never wanted to hurt you.Sr: Само... можда нисмо све рекли како треба.En: It's just... maybe we didn't say everything the way we should have.Sr: И ми желимо више времена с тобом.“En: We also want more time with you."Sr: Столови више нису звечани од напетости; у том тренутку, било је као да невидљива рука полако отклања теже притиске на срца породице.En: The tension no longer resonated on the tables; at that moment, it was as if an invisible hand was slowly lifting the heavy burdens from the family's hearts.Sr: Јован је изненада схватио да рањивост може донијети лечење.En: Jovan suddenly realized that vulnerability can bring healing.Sr: Оног тренутка кад су се сузе појавиле у његовим очима, Мила није могла а да га не загрли.En: The moment tears appeared in his eyes, Mila couldn't help but embrace him.Sr: „Радимо на томе,“ рече она, држећи га чврсто.En: "We'll work on it," she said, holding him tightly.Sr: „Сви заједно.“En: "All of us together."Sr: То лето огрезло у слану и слатку арому породичне вечере, постало је прекретница.En: That summer, steeped in the savory and sweet aroma of a family dinner, became a turning point.Sr: Кућа испод брежуљака поново је пронашла свој глас и почела да гради нове темеље за боље сутра.En: The house beneath the hills rediscovered its voice and began building new foundations for a better tomorrow.Sr: И како је сунце потпуно залазило, Јован се осећао први пут после дуго времена да је напокон схваћен и цењен.En: And as the sun fully set, Jovan felt, for the first time in a long while, that he was finally understood and appreciated.

Sri Sathya Sai Unity Run & Ride - Divine Vision in Motion

We get an update on how the efforts to combat homelessness around the New Orleans area are going, particularly with all this heat we've been getting. Joe Heeren-Mueller, Director of Community Engagement for UNITY of Greater New Orleans, and Clarence White, III, Manager of UNITY's Outreach Team, join us.

Red Rocks Worship didn't start with an artist dream. It started with a disagreement over song sets. When the church opened a second campus, the worship leaders couldn't agree on what to sing. So they started meeting to pray together, and songs came out of that room. In this conversation, Tyler Roberts unpacks how a logistics problem became a songwriting movement, how a church with campuses in Colorado, Texas, and Belgium manages the tension between creative freedom and alignment, and why he stays open handed with a team where people come and go. Tyler is a founding member of Red Rocks Worship, worship pastor at Red Rocks Church, fifteen years in, with the new record Promised Land out now. The thread underneath it all: the strongest worship teams aren't the ones that sound the best. They're the ones that are unified. Unity starts with a team that shows up prepared. Worship Online gives every member the exact parts, charts, and setlists to walk into rehearsal ready, so your time together builds the team instead of fixing it.

Several months ago, I heard Unity minister Rev. David Alexander share an idea that has stayed with me ever since: Wholeness isn’t the goal; it’s the starting point. The more I’ve contemplated those words, the more I’ve found myself returning to them—not simply as an inspiring thought, but as something to be lived. Deep within, I believe our essential nature is already whole, already complete, already untouched by the changing circumstances of life. This meditation is an invitation to experience yourself from that perspective. Rather than striving to become whole, what if you began by remembering that you already are? How might that shift the way you relate to your challenges, your relationships, and your path forward? My hope is that this practice leaves you with a renewed sense of freedom, inner sovereignty, and the quiet ease that comes from resting in the truth of who you are.

Welcome to the concluding episode from the New Revelations Festival at the Awakening Mind Retreat Center in Utah. In this Closing Session, David Hoffmeister and Kirsten Buxton dive deep into the transformative practice of true empathy and holy relationship.Drawing from non-dual teachings, David and Kirsten explore how traditional, "special" relationships are often rooted in the ego's agenda, interpersonal guilt, and a deep attachment to physical form and expectations. They discuss how shifting our relationship's purpose toward healing allows the Spirit to relate through us, lifting the veil of past misperceptions to reveal the eternal innocence of the Christ within. This episode unpacks the radical idea that love is purely content, not form, and that true joy and true empathy come from dropping our personal agendas.The conversation also highlights the practical application of "undoing the doer"—the practice of stepping out of constant busyness, taking mental pauses, and letting divine inspiration orchestrate our actions. Listeners will hear a moving, intimate testimonial from a participant. He shares how being in holy relationship has helped him slow down his busy mindset, and how he is learning to view health challenges not as physical facts, but as an invitation to heal the mind.Stay connected with our Awakening Mind Community & events:https://www.instagram.com/awakeningmind1/https://awakening-mind.org/If you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsRecorded live at the Awakening Mind Retreat Center in Utah on the morning of July 26, 2026. Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

God's Word provides the truth and clarity we need in an ever-changing world. Join Pastor Brenda as she continues “7 Bright Lines of Scripture,” teaching how biblical truth, discernment, and gratitude equip believers to remain steadfast, fruitful, and firmly established in Christ.

Why do sincere Christians who love God's Word arrive at different theological conclusions? In this episode, Dr. E answers a listener's question about denominational differences, Protestantism, Catholicism, and why faithful believers disagree on issues like baptism, Calvinism, spiritual gifts, and church authority. Drawing from Scripture and church history, Dr. Easley explains the difference between essential doctrines and secondary issues, why church hierarchy cannot eliminate human sin, and how believers can hold firm convictions while maintaining biblical unity. Most importantly, he reminds us that Jesus never commanded us to build impressive institutions—He commanded us to make disciples while He builds His Church. Whether you've struggled with church differences or simply want to better understand Christian unity, this episode offers practical wisdom rooted in Scripture. Key Topics Covered Why Christians disagree on doctrine Essentials vs. non-essential beliefs Protestant and Catholic views of authority Unity without compromising truth Church history and theological diversity Why disciple-making is the Church's primary mission Loving believers who hold different convictions Chapters 0:00 Why do faithful Christians disagree? 2:37 "In essentials, unity" explained 5:50 Liberty, love, and Christian maturity 7:20 MacArthur, Sproul, and charitable disagreement 8:15 What are the essential doctrines? 9:45 Catholic authority and doctrinal consistency 14:05 The universal Church vs. the local church 16:47 When should Christians draw doctrinal lines? 17:45 Jesus' command: Make disciples 22:34 What perfect unity will look like in eternity Links Mentioned: Article by Mark Ross on Church unity The Nicene Creed by Phillip Cary Find more episodes of Ask Dr. E here.

Paul uses a person's body to explain how the body of Christ is to function. He says we are one body that serves the same Lord, worships the same God, and is filled with one Spirit, the Holy Spirit that comes from the One True God we worship! He uses the foot, the hand, the ear, the eyes, and the nose to prove his point. What's his point? That each body part is necessary for the body to function properly. If a foot is missing, it's harder to walk; if an hand is missing, it's harder to grasp things etc. each person in the body of Christ has been given a gift, or gifts, by the Holy Spirit and it is crucial for them to be present when the church meets to function properly. When one suffers, we all suffer. You have a gift the I do not and vice versa. We need each other, to encourage one another to continue in our walk with Jesus. We work together, not against one another. The body is not divided, like the church at Corinth, but it was designed to work together, to produce nutrients and waste. Noi matter how insignificant you seem to feel, you are needed in the body of Christ!

Recorded live during the second session of the New Revelations Festival, this Wisdom Talk by David Hoffmeister invites listeners into a profound exploration of spiritual awakening. David explores how our minds are often split by the ego's illusions, leading us to seek lasting happiness in the temporary forms and relationships of the physical world. He explains that true, consistent joy can only be discovered by turning inward and accessing our "source code"—the practice of deep forgiveness, which reminds us that this world is a projection and our true identity is spiritual. By unplugging from our false human identities, grievances, and defense mechanisms, we can experience the Kingdom of Heaven that already exists within us.The conversation also delves into the liberating practice of "undoing the doer". Rather than fighting the ego or trying to personally manage our own salvation, David suggests handing over the strings of our lives to the Spirit, allowing divine intuition to guide our actions. The episode concludes by setting the stage for the festival's evening cinema gathering, teasing an inspiring historical story of a man from the 1700s who fully surrendered to his inner calling and became a bright reflection of divine love.Stay connected with our Awakening Mind Community & events:https://www.instagram.com/awakeningmind1/https://awakening-mind.org/ If you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsRecorded live at the Awakening Mind Retreat Center in Utah on the morning of July 25, 2026. Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

Recorded live during the third session of the New Revelations Festival, David Hoffmeister guides listeners through a profound cinematic exploration of early American history and spiritual revolution. Set against the backdrop of the struggling 13 colonies and the drafting of the Constitution, this session explores the contrast between earthly intellect and divine devotion.Through the story of a young man named George who abandons his theatrical aspirations to become an unwavering mouthpiece for the Holy Spirit, and his interactions with the highly intellectual Benjamin Franklin, David unpacks the limitations of human ingenuity. He explains how the world we perceive is ultimately a projected illusion born from a belief in separation, and that true freedom cannot be found through the body's achievements or by battling the ego.Instead, this episode invites listeners to look beyond the distraction of worldly goals and ask one simple, transformative question: "Who is my Source?". Tune in to discover why the ultimate prison is only in the mind, and how a genuine change of heart opens the door to lasting peace and perfect love.Stay connected with our Awakening Mind Community & events:https://www.instagram.com/awakeningmind1/https://awakening-mind.org/ If you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsRecorded live at the Awakening Mind Retreat Center in Utah on the evening of July 25, 2026. Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

When we think of unity in the church, we often think of doctrinal unity, but Paul in Romans 12 focuses on the emotional and intellectual side of our unity with our brothers and sisters.

Yoga is often seen as union — the integration of opposing forces into a harmonious whole. However, union and separation are not contradictory but complementary, two sides of the same coin. In asana, we balance opposing forces like the left and right sides, learning to find our center through both asymmetry and symmetry. This union within the body also invites detachment from physical limitations, recognising that we are not defined by our capabilities.Breath embodies union in the balance of inhaling and exhaling, while stilling the breath leads to detachment from fluctuating energy, resting in pure consciousness. Through non-attachment (vairagya), we separate from thoughts and stories, revealing the underlying unity of consciousness. Yoga teaches us to observe emotions and thoughts without attachment, recognising them as transient. Nature reflects this duality, and yoga helps us experience the union between consciousness and embodiment, transcending yet fully present in each moment. Union and separation are two forces guiding us to our true essence.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here. To support Zephyr Yoga Podcast, donate here. Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we continue our book study on Friendship in the Lord and reflect on how loving appreciation and reconciliation are the places where friendship matures. We talk about why healthy adult friendships draw us closer to the Lord, how the unique gifts of women and men reveal different facets of God's love, and how learning to behold another's beauty without trying to grasp or possess it calls forth our true identity. We also discuss the importance of recognizing how we've hurt others, expressing sincere sorrow, and allowing others to do the same. As we bring our wounds, suffering, and sin into the love of Christ, we discover that the very places we fear most can become the biggest places of resurrection.   Other Resources Mentioned: Restore the Glory Podcast on Confession (Parts 1-3) S18 Forgiveness Meditation (with questions from the book Forgiving as Unity with Christ)  S11 Forgiveness Meditation with Sister Miriam   Announcement: You can buy your copy of Friendship in the Lord from Ave Maria Press (or Amazon).   Journal Questions: Am I maturing as a friend? What does the Holy Spirit want to teach me through my friendships? Am I currently experiencing conflict or frustration in a relationship? What is the pain or trigger I feel beneath the conflict? Can I receive the gift of beauty without trying to grasp or possess it? How have I failed to uphold the dignity of my friends? Am I experiencing the fullness of who I am? What parts of myself am I hiding from my relationships?   Discussion Questions: When have you experienced your own uniqueness in a friendship? Did you experience your uniqueness as a gift to give or as an insecurity to hide? How is the Lord inviting you to more freely receive your friends rather than possessing them? How have you participated in belittling or sarcasm in your relationships? How have you participated in or been on the receiving end of judgment within friendships? Where does the Lord want to love you into a place of freedom?   Quote to Ponder: "The intimacy of adult friendship in the Spirit can teach us to aspire to the fullest possible intimacy with the Lord himself. The tenderness of one friend toward another is the image of God's own tenderness, when the friends truly love each other in the Spirit." (Friendship in the Lord, Page 62) Scripture for Lectio: "Therefore as God's chosen people, holy and dearly beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues, put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity."
