In this episode of Perspectives Pastors Podcast, Rev. Trudy and Rev. Brittany continue the discussion of “Everyday Saints” – looking to find the commonalities between the traditional Christian saints and who we are today.
This week, they’re inspired by the recently named Millennial Saint, Carlo Acutis. They tie back St. Carlo’s youthful impact to that of the prophet Jeremiah, who received his calling from God at a very young age.
The two pastors discuss the challenge that comes with responding to God’s call, how being the deliverer of God’s message comes with immense struggles, and the difficulties they face as pastors in modern times.
How do you honor tradition, experiences, and memories – carrying them forward and applying them to new settings and making them relevant today? It’s a heavy task and one that Rev. Trudy and Rev. Brittany think is suited for today’s younger generations who bring energy, innovation, open mindedness, and an inclusive spirit.
It’s a lot to consider. We invite you to connect with others through our weekly Convergence discussion groups, which meet in person, as you consider these questions:
- What has God called you to do that makes you weep?
- What message from today’s youth do you hear?
- How well do you receive their message?
