This podcast attempts to spend more time asking good questions than providing simplistic answers. For too many people, the Bible has been used as a weapon or limited in how it speaks to what it means to be human. Let’s get curious about these stories. Let’s discover what God might be inviting us into.

Ripple Effects In Creation | Reimagining Noah’s Ark
The story of Noah and the Ark is a classic children's story from the Bible. We love the animals and the bravery of Noah and his family. We love the dove being sent out from the ark and coming back with an olive branch. And the story ends with a rainbow! Who doesn't love a rainbow?!But what happens when we also notice that there is an incredible loss of human life? What happens when all of creation - plants and animals - are also destroyed because of the darkness within humanity.What does this story teach us about God? What does this story teach us about what it means to be human? How can we reimagine this story?This week I'm joined by Christine Ford, associate pastor in White Bear Lake UMC. You can connect to her work at their website: http://wblumc.org/.Enjoy!
