  The Open Mind - Accepting Others...

  An open mind is not simply the ability to consider new ideas; it is a deep commitment to understanding, acceptance, and growth. In a world filled with diverse perspectives, an open mind acts as a bridge between different experiences, beliefs, and cultures. Embracing this quality begins with self-awareness, as recognizing one’s own biases and limitations is the first step toward true intellectual humility. When we acknowledge that our perspective is just one among many, we create space for learning and connection. 
  The process of understanding an open mind involves examining the roots of our thoughts and behaviors. Many of our judgments and preconceived notions originate from early experiences, societal norms, and ingrained habits. These factors shape how we view others and the world around us. By questioning these influences, we allow ourselves to break free from automatic responses and engage in thoughtful reflection. This reflective process is essential for transforming criticism into genuine curiosity and compassion. 
  Developing an open mind requires both intentional practice and courage. It means being willing to step outside our comfort zones and explore ideas that challenge our existing beliefs. This journey often involves confronting uncomfortable truths about ourselves and recognizing the limitations of our knowledge. However, the rewards are significant: increased empathy, improved relationships, and the ability to navigate complex social landscapes with grace. An open mind is not passive; it is an active, ongoing process of growth that requires us to listen deeply and respond with sensitivity.

  Navigating Trauma in the Church
  It's time for church leaders and believers to stop offering prettily packaged responses from a safe distance. It's time for us to sit in the ashes with the hurting, our Sunday clothes covered in dirt and grime, our faces lined with tears. Trauma brings people to the ash heap, so that is where the church needs to go.
  The church should serve as a refuge for people in pain. And yet, we often end up unintentionally causing more hurt to trauma survivors. Theological platitudes and positive thinking aren't simply dismissive to those who suffer, but they inevitably retraumatize the wounded. Does the Bible have anything practical to offer for church leaders as they engage the pain in their congregations?
  Biblical scholar Michelle Keener shows us that the book of Job provides embodied and practical answers for the church today. In this incredible tool for ministry leaders and trauma survivors alike, Keener offers:
  
  - deep wisdom at the intersection of trauma theory and the book of Job for Christian communities
  - reflection questions for ministry practitioners and those walking alongside those who have experienced trauma
  - engagement with the idea of a shattered worldview and how to overcome the effects of that experience.
  Comfort in the Ashes helps leaders navigate their own trauma and gives practical guidance for supporting others whose worlds are falling apart. God meets us in our ashes and our pain. It's time for the church to do the same.

  Every person follows a script for living, a life guide that directs our behavior and shapes our choices. As believers, we find the original script for living woven throughout the Bible. Yet while the Christian message is simple, it can become complicated by our environment, our culture, and our religious ideas and traditions. For this reason, we are all in constant need of revising the scripts by which we live. 
  Author Frank Viola believes we need to revisit and revise what it means to live the Christian life. Drawing from his rich background in ministry, Viola examines ten key areas that impact every believer and explores fresh ways to revise them. Conversational, insightful, and practical, Revise Us Again encourages us to examine those religious habits that we unconsciously pick up from others and rescript them with new habits that line up with our new nature in Christ.

  For the first time ever, love letters consciously written by elders of one geologic epoch to the young of another. 
   
   
   
  Our children's and grandchildren's generation will face a different world, one affected by climate instability, mass uncertainty, and breathtaking extinction. In fact, the next generation will face the reality that human activity is changing the planet from one geological epoch to another. 
   
   
   
  From this vantage point—two generations across two geological epochs facing a fundamentally changing planet—Larry Rasmussen writes to his grandchildren. As a grandfather invested in a green earth and climate justice as well as a scholar of faith-based earth ethics, Rasmussen bridges this gap between generations to write to the future about climate change, global citizenship, democracy, and legacy. In topics ranging from "A Viable Way of Life" and "Democracy" to "Where We've Come From" and "Who We Are Now," Rasmussen explores the large questions of justice, meaning, and faith, encouraging us to speak to and look to the future generation and their future world.
