04.29.24 | Pastor's Bible Study, Perspectives Podcast
In this episode of Perspectives FUMCSD Pastors Podcast, Rev. Trudy and Rev. Brittany talk about miracles, helping, and the power of truly being seen by those around us – looking back at miracle stories of the Bible and asking: Do miracles exist today? How can we help others with the healing they need?
They delve into:
- How to interpret the miracles of Jesus and the apostles.
- Some of the dangers of misinterpreting miracle stories, including ableism.
- Modern day miracles and the role we can play in making them happen.
It’s all part of “Becoming Better Humans” – a multi-episode topic where the women clergy of the First Church of San Diego explore the story of the early church, looking at the days after the resurrection of Jesus to see how the courage and perseverance of the apostles may help us all live better today.
