Summary

To Be Human - Part Eleven: Time After Time. Today, Mike and Tim bring back an old segment, Tim's Troubled Times!, to discuss the challenges of responding to power over within the church. We explore the use of Christian language to baptize political agendas, the rise of Christian nationalism, and the harm caused in the name of Jesus. How do we resist power over in a healthy way and advocate for life without engaging in conflict?

We then step back into the book of Genesis to look at the seven day Creation story. Is it literal? What is the author doing? What would be understood by the original audience? What is lost in translation? How should we interpret it now? What is the significance of time and the number seven in Genesis? Fun Stuff. As always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue. Feel free to email in questions to [email protected], and to engage the conversation on Facebook and Instagram.

0:07.0	Today we start out with a revisit to a segment we haven't done in a while, Tim's Troubled Times, which I use to pose a question to Mike about

0:34.0	What does it look like to resist in love?
0:36.5	What does it look like to push back?
0:38.2	What does it look like to do so without using power over ourselves?
0:41.5	And then at about the 40 minute mark we get back into the book of
0:45.2	Genesis to talk about the seven-day creation period and what and how those seven days
0:52.3	would be understood culturally within the time period of when the text was written
0:56.0	and what we should take away from it today ourselves.
1:00.0	It's interesting amidst all the hoopla about whether or not the seven-day creation story is in fact a literal seven days or not
1:08.8	And then what the implications of the poetic literature have for us and for the people of the time. What was it that the author was trying to say about the creation story in Genesis?

1:59.3	appearance I'm jealous about so many things but today I'm jealous because of his
2:05.2	Pearl Jam hat that obviously he purchased and or maybe it was a gift I don't know and
2:10.8	you're looking great how are? How's your week been?
