Let’s All Be Weirdos | Genesis 14

Season 2 | Let’s All Be Weirdos | Genesis 14

Pop Quiz... Where is the first use of the title priest, the first use of the word shalom, and the first place where bread and wine are offered together? If you guessed Genesis 14 and the story of Melchizedek...then you've been studying with 40 Orchards! 

In Hebrews 5, the Christ is named as being in the line of Melchizedek. But who is this seemingly important, but rarely mentioned character?

The story of Melchizedek can help us explore the story of Abram.

The story of Melchizedek can help us unpack who Jesus is and the ever-present Christ.

The story of Melchizedek can offer us questions about how we show up in the world.

This podcast is a partnership between 40 Orchards and Processing Faith…

40 Orchards, with Steph and Lisa, invites people to wrestle through Biblical texts using the ancient Jewish concepts of midrash.

In a 40 Orchards study, every question is safe, everyone is welcome, and every voice is valued. We believe there’s room for all of us. No person and no question is off limits—because we know that together we can expand each other’s experience of what is sacred, whole, and good. 

You can learn more about 40 Orchards and sign-up for a study by going to 40orchards.org.

Processing Faith is a space created by Jason Steffenhagen for people to do exactly that…process their faith. It’s not one thing…but more like a good recipe. It’s like 1 part pastoral care, 1 part theological exploration, and 1 part wrestling with all the questions.
