De-centering ourselves can make space for other people. Take some time to consider what de-centering yourself might look like in your relationships and conversations with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Scripture to Study<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Love must be sincere.&nbsp; Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord\u2019s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low positions Do not be conceited. (Romans 12: 9-16 NIV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wise Words to Consider<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is this constant desire to bring people in. How do you make the boundaries that separate us more porous, so there are more of us going in and out, and making a space of hospitality and connection?&nbsp; Even in thinking of end of life care, it is the one thing that all of us will go through, the one thing besides birth that we will all actually experience, but we\u2019re not always great at walking with people through grief.\u201d<br>\u2014 Eva Ting<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Prayer to Lead You<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>God of wonder, thank you for your intention of making me more human.&nbsp; Help me identify the times when I\u2019m not de-centering myself, especially with those who are grieving.&nbsp; Give me the courage to cultivate relationships with trust and vulnerability.&nbsp; Increase my personal and communal view of you with an increasing wonder. Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Practice to Begin<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Eva mentions that we have both an individual and a collective calling. She talks about the importance of cultivating a collective calling in community. What steps can you take this season of life to cultivate a web of trust with other people in your community? Who in your life can you journey with to pursue a collective calling? What types of spiritual practices are you exercising to leave space and wonder with God in that calling?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Questions to Answer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Eva challenges us to ask questions about ourselves to our community. Who are you becoming? Who is God calling you to be and how does that include everything He has put in you? How are you pursuing a collective calling? What does functioning together as a community and as a body look like? Where are you healthy and flourishing in that sense of a collective community and what might be some blind spots?&nbsp; Where are you not taking the time to acknowledge other people\u2019s needs and are ignoring the pain of one another?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Resources to Help<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/heretohonor.com\/\">https:\/\/heretohonor.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Episode Reflection Invitation to Explore: Eva Ting discusses the importance of curating and creating space in relationships.
