Their focus in this conversation is weariness, as inspired by Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30. Ultimately asking: Have we made being a Christian too hard?
The female pastors look closely at what actions truly make us a disciple of Christ, removing the unnecessary elements so you can be a Christian no matter where you’re at in life: love God, love your neighbor, and love yourself.
They ask what sharing the yoke with Jesus means and looks like, as well as:
- How do we find rest without neglecting duties?
- How does distraction affect our energy?
- Is it more important to have learned knowledge or intuitive knowledge when it comes to knowing and experiencing God?
It’s an interesting conversation that examines a wide range of topics. You can keep the conversation going by joining our weekly in-person Convergence discussion group or heading over to our Patreon channel to discuss the following questions with others:
- What distracts you from faith?
- Do you think the yoke of Jesus is easy? Why or why not?
- What would true spiritual rest look like for you?
