Keri Anderson - The Stakes of Storytelling - Nov 3, 2016

Keri talks about the story of Jonah (dude in who ends up in the belly of a whale) and tries to figure out where the @#$%^&*() God is in all of that. She also talks about what we might do with Bible stories that portray God as the oppressor and whether God has a plan for our lives (easy enough!). 

Readings:

The Story of Jonah (look it up!)

“For I know the plans I have for you,”
declares the Lord.
“Plans to prosper you and not to harm you.
Plans to give you hope and a future.
Then you will call on me and come and pray to me,
and I will listen to you.
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
I will be found by you.”

-Jeremiah 29:1-14

i found god in
myself
and i loved
her
i loved her
fiercely.

- Ntozake Shange
