What Is God’s Story? Ongoing Revelation, Personal Experience, and the Language of Story
In the newest What's On Our Mind, Scott Langdon and Jerry L. Martin explore how God’s story is dynamic and evolving, not a fixed account from the past. They reflect on how revelation continues today and how personal experience shapes our understanding of the divine.
Jerry discusses why God grows through interaction with humanity and how reading ancient texts reveals an ongoing conversation between God and humankind. They consider Swedenborg’s insights about continuous revelation and the role of modern spiritual messengers.
The conversation also explores empathy as a path to understanding God, trusting your own experiences of the sacred, and recognizing how your life becomes a chapter in God’s autobiography.
Discover why spiritual growth is always personal, and why God’s story is still unfolding.
