Summary

This week, Dr. Dan Allender, Dr. Chelle Stearns, and Matthias Roberts, MA, reconvene to continue their conversation about being “lost at sea.”

Their conversation centers around the watery ritual of baptism: the terrifying acts of faith as we enter the murky waters and the renewal and redemption that God has for us. With deeply personal stories and compelling theological perspectives, we hope this conversation invites you to consider this ritual of renewal in new ways.

1:10.7	if we're living in a deeply
1:13.1	traumatic world that has the potential every time we go to sea to die, but also to find
1:20.6	something of life where we're both alert and terrified. And I think the reality that we've attempted to put words to last time is that most of us don't want to have to live in the intersection of allurement of danger.
