In this episode, Jennifer and Jeanne talk about the conversion stories associated with Saul, who became known as Paul, after he went from being a Jewish Roman citizen who arrested followers of the Way, to a primary messenger for the Way modeled by Jesus, proclaiming the sonship of Jesus to non-Jewish peoples. Your co-hosts also explore a poem by Nick Flynn, a living American poet who took inspiration from the SaulPaul story, among other things, for his poem Harbor (conversion).
This week, Jeanne and Jennifer explore the poem Jesus Walking by Anne Sexton, which refers to the Temptation in the Wilderness scene from Luke Chapter 4. The poem and the Gospel scene engage with concepts of divinity, humanity, temptation, and the idea of mission. The idea of temptation can be thought of as anything that diverts or distracts a person away from their mission.
