In this episode Dr. Oord engages with the book Renewing Faith: Reigniting Faith and Ministry through Process and Open and Relational Theologies, a compilation of essays edited by Sheri Kling.
Broken down into 7 sections, the book is written for pastors, spiritual leaders and seekers ready to reimagine Christianity for today's world.
Rooted in the real-life experiences of people and communities who are courageously rethinking and renewing their faith, these pages explore:
- Renewing Faith – Can faith become life-giving again?
- Renewing God – What if God is deeply relational and always present?
- Renewing Jesus – How is Jesus still saving us today?
- Renewing Message – Can ancient texts still inspire transformation?
- Renewing Worship – What remains sacred and nourishing in our rituals?
- Renewing Spirit – How do practices of the Spirit bring healing and wholeness?
- Renewing Community – What does a renewing church or ministry look like?
