Out of time
John Zahl, this made me cry, good tears. Thank you. Thank God for Talkingbird, all of MBird
and the many of you who share your gifts of grace and peace with us.
As Episcopal priest Sarah Condon writes, Mbird Ministries has helped me remain a person of faith.
Paul Walker, Dave Zahl, Sarah Condon, Aaron Zimmerman, RJ, Marilu—many other brilliant theologians. Thank you Mbird in your many forms. Would that I had known ye longer! You’ve yanked me out of the cistern. So love this and your other podcasts.
Thank God for Sarah’s talk. I know grief changes people. I have experienced it myself and I’m so very sorry that Sarah has had to go through the loss and grief that she has gone through. I know though that God has used this experience she went through to teach us all about His love and mercy. I thank her for being willing to share her experiences and to remind us of God’s eternal care.
