The Imprint of the Resurrection in Our Everyday Lives with Pete Enns
This week we take another deep dive into the story of the resurrection with biblical scholar Pete Enns. Together, Melanie and Pete explore the historical context of the Bible, the varying accounts of the resurrection, and its impact on everyday life. Pete and Melanie discuss everything from the counterintuitive nature of the Easter story to the broader concept of resurrection in Jewish belief, and even personal rhythms of faith. Discover why the inconsistencies in the gospel narratives might just make the story more human and more true. Thought-Provoking Quotes: “One cannot have contentment in the Christian life without the darkness. Dying is the only path to resurrection and that is the way of knowing God. There is no shortcut.” - Pete Enns
“Richard Rohr does say that ‘life is about learning to let go.’ It's a series of letting go moments so that when the last letting go comes—your life–-you're ready because you've been doing this all along, right? And I think that's a beautiful, inspiring and emotional way, for me, of thinking of the nature of the Christian faith.” - Pete Enns
“Living well is learning how to die to your ego, to the fascinations we have with things and with possessions, and to be able to let go of things so that you can be raised to newness of life and continually—not just once when you raise your hand in church, but this is a pattern of life.” - Pete Enns
“What we have [in the Gospels] is people bearing witness to their faith in Christ and what that looked like, and there’s a lot of agreement between the four Gospels, but there are also a lot of differences, and that’s just the way it is.” - Pete Enns
