I was only part way through the read when I started taking screen shots and highlighting- first one being about not throwing the whole Scripture out when it feels weaponized or complicated, but putting it in a back drawer for later -and remember other ways to look for God. You brought out Dr. Gafney’s words so beautifully in your article. Grateful for your shared conversation and insight.
Oh I enjoyed every word! I’m ordering the Women’s lectionary, hope to make the peach/tomato salad, and planning to listen to your sermon Sunday! Thank you so much - I look forward to these letters so much!

Thank you for this. I’d not heard of Dr. Gafney, but I am thrilled to learn of her and look forward to reading all I can about and by her.
Thank you for introducing me to Dr Gafney! I will be ordering her book.
Dear Jeff,
You speak to so much of what is stirring so deeply in my soul gut.
I re-listened to this podcast and was almost immediately found myself pouring through scripture.
I’m lost most of the time, constantly bemoaning and conversing to a God who , for me, feels distant and distracted .
But with you, Nadia, Kate, Sarah, the writings of RHE and my garden, in small increments of time, I feel accepted, seen and loved. I can breathe.
Thank you, Jeff.
I appreciate you so much.
