DAILY BREATH – WEEK OF FEBRUARY 27, 2023
MONDAY: Diana Butler Bass’s conversation with NT scholar Elizabeth “Libby” Schrader offers such powerful new insights that Butler Bass even writes, “She offered perspective on biblical interpretation that I don’t think I’ve ever heard before.”
It’s not just for preachers. But if you’re preaching, tackle John 11 with Schrader’s research in mind!!
TUESDAY: From Church Anew’s Lent in a Box series, Rev. Dave Adams invites us to wonder: Where Is God? in our suffering, confusion, frustration, and pain – and in the world’s.
Please join our Teen Mental Health and Church Culture conversation with Melissa Weinhandl, LMFT, TODAY: March 14; 2:00 PM CT. Registration is free. Learn more here.
WEDNESDAY:
Rev. Cindy Halvorson, Mdiv., DMin assures us that LeaderWise Wants You to Experience Vitality and Joy in Your Service to Others.
Their coaches, spiritual directors, and/or therapists are available to walk with you through joys and struggles.

THURSDAY: On Becoming Christian by Rev.Cameron Trimble
A reflection on congregations becoming, as Brian McLaren says, ‘schools of love’ – with a handy wheel to help us gauge where and when and how we shift out of balance – and how to work back toward it.
FRIDAY: VOCARE PRACTICE: CALLED BY GOD
Rev. Dr. Charlene Rachel Cox created a series of Vocare spiritual practices as part of the Nourishing Vocation Project of the Lutheran Center at St Olaf College.
