The Growing Edge, Rev. Lara Cowtan, January 12, 2025
Manage episode 461627958 series 2390404
This sermon podcast begins with a reflection offered by worship associate Chris Russert
"Look well to the growing edge! All around us worlds are dying and new worlds are being born; all around us life is dying and life is being born." — Howard Thurman
Often this phrase is used to explain a painful moment or failure, an uninvited or unwelcome “opportunity for growth.” Yet, it is from these places of challenge that we do, indeed, emerge and develop, whether as planned or, more often, with an unexpected or creative outcome. We grow from places of strength, of hope and resilience, that once were edges themselves. Let us look to these edges together, that we may commit to a generative practice of being transformed.
