"Learning To... " is led by Pastor Carolyn Hetrick and Pastor Scott Schul of Grace Lutheran Church, State College, PA. Each week features breath prayer, a passage from scripture, music and reflection before sending you out with grace. Today we are "Learning to Rethink." Jesus tells his followers that everything they thought was wrong. He will face rejection and they will face struggles too. The savior we receive is hardly like popular figures in our world. Can we rethink who Jesus is and what it means to follow even when the changes we face are hard, unpopular or inconvenient? We know that love carries Jesus into our midst in these times.
Today's scripture: Mark 8:31-38
