Poetry Isn’t Easy | Dealing with Psalm 1

Season 2 | Poetry Isn’t Easy | Dealing with Psalm 1

Welcome back to Searching the Sacred. We are excited to launch into our second season by exploring Psalm 1!

I'll be honest. As we get Season 2 off to a start, this first episode took a minute to find it's footing. But all the groundwork that was laid in the beginning made for a wonderful reflection and meditation on what seemed to be a simplistic poem. 

And this is the nature of poetry, sometimes it's a slow burn and takes a few attempts. 

"Delight in the way and direction of the Living Presence that was and is and always will be."

 

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.
