Life's Sacred Mixtape: Equipping the Spirit in Times of Transition | Paul Funk

In this week’s sermon, Paul Funk shares a message from Isaiah 40:28-31. In this episode, we explore Hungarian poet George Faludy's remarkable story of survival through intellectual engagement in a Soviet labor camp, and how his insights parallel Isaiah's message to a displaced community: 'Those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength.' Discover how nurturing spiritual imagination alongside practical concerns, creating spaces for communal learning, finding freedom within constraints, and drawing on ancient wisdom offer a pathway to renewed purpose during seasons of transition and uncertainty.
