03.13.24 | Pastor's Bible Study, Perspectives Podcast
Join the women clergy of First Church of San Diego as they explore anger during the next several episodes of Perspectives FUMCSD Pastors Podcast. They’ll examine where anger comes from, how we can manage it, and how Jesus encountered anger during the last week of his life.
In this episode, Rev. Trudy and Rev. Hannah investigate the changes Jesus’ ministry made on the world around him – and how it stirred the anger of others.
They’re specifically looking at his last Passover, where Jesus makes several subtle (and not-so-subtle) changes. Changes that could be interpreted as a challenge to the religious institution.
Was Jesus intentionally changing the Passover? Did his followers take that change further than he intended?
They discuss all this plus what we’re called to do with our faith tradition today and in the future through the contextualization of Christianity.

For this episode, we’ll be discussing the following questions:
- Where do you stand on the spectrum of willingness to accept change?
- How do you identify what needs to change – in your personal life and on a broader, institutional scale?
- How do we evaluate proposed changes – for our personal life, the church, and for the world in general?
