In this episode of Perspectives FUMCSD Pastors Podcast, Rev. Trudy and Rev. Brittany look at the story of Jesus’ ascension, asking: What do we do with the ascension story today?

They’re in agreement that we can’t spend our entire time looking up at the sky, looking toward Heaven. So, how does the story apply to us today, as a community, and how can we use it to act?

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.

For this episode, we’ll be discussing the following questions:

  1. How would you describe Heaven?
  2. Where do you find the glory of God?
  3. How does your understanding of who Jesus is as the Son of God inform the way you act in the world?
