By Drew Jackson (2021)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Episode Reflection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Invitation to Explore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a moment to read Luke 7:1\u201310. What do you notice about Jesus in this passage? What do you notice about the centurion and others in this passage?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now read Drew Jackson\u2019s poem, \u201cI Struggle with the Word<em> Deserves<\/em>\u201d (see above). What new meaning does reading the poem give to Luke 7:1-10? What does the poem help you notice about the passage?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drew Jackson reminds us that \u201cfaith is always asking to put flesh on.\u201d He says, \u201cif we believe in a God that became incarnate, then to follow Jesus is to consistently be asking ourselves the question, how does our profession of faith start to put on flesh in our neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thinking about your reflections on Luke 7 and Drew\u2019s poem, what do you notice about how you could put \u201cflesh\u201d on your faith? How does your faith intersect your neighborhood, workplace, family, or other community?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scripture to Study<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>When Jesus had finished saying all this to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum. There a centurion\u2019s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, \u201cThis man deserves to have you do this, because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.\u201d So Jesus went with them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: \u201cLord, don\u2019t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof.<\/em> <em>That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, \u2018Go,\u2019 and he goes; and that one, \u2018Come,\u2019 and he comes. I say to my servant, \u2018Do this,\u2019 and he does it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, \u201cI tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.\u201d Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luke 7:1\u201310 (NIV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wise Words to Consider<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201c&#8230; writing poetry made me pay attention to what\u2019s going on in my interior landscape, what\u2019s happening underneath the surface of my own life. And what\u2019s going on around me. The poet Mary Oliver says in one of her poems, \u2018I don\u2019t know what prayer is, but I know how to pay attention.\u2019 Just the connection between paying attention and prayer is right there, it\u2019s so close. I\u2019ve found that in the act of learning to pay attention and then to begin to put the words to whatever that was happening, I was meeting God. God was meeting me in those spaces.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Drew Jackson<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Prayer to Lead You<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lord, we have so many questions, so many longings, so many places where we see hurt and brokenness. Help us to sit in our unknowing and live more deeply into our questions. We don\u2019t want to be like the false prophets who declare that there is peace where there is no peace. Help to pay attention to what is really going on inside of us and really going on around us. Truth-telling to ourselves and to others is the beginning of healing. Make us into healers in our communities. Work through us to bring shalom and human flourishing to our relationships. Amen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Practice to Begin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When we are in a space of waiting with unanswered questions, Drew invites us to engage in the spiritual practice of paying attention. Meditate about a longing, unfulfilled desire, or question you have. Pay attention to what comes up for you emotionally or in your body as you dwell on that unanswered place. How can you dig deeper into that question? As you dig deeper what else do you notice in yourself? What does your unanswered question tell you about who God is? Do you sense a deeper invitation?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you go throughout your day, attempt to continue to \u201cpay attention\u201d to what is going on inside of you when you encounter difficult things. An example could be a conflict at home, an email at work that causes anxiety, a difficult conversation you know is coming. As you \u201cpay attention\u201d to your body and your emotions, what patterns do you notice? Do you sense a deeper invitation from God?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Questions to Answer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Drew Jackson reminds us that we can\u2019t be like the false prophets who declare peace where there is no peace. We must do the work of shalom. Drew reminds us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do the work of shalom, we have to do the work of healing.<br>To do the work of healing, we have to do the work of truth-telling.<br>To do the work of truth-telling, we have to do the work of lament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a difficult journey for most people to embark on. Where do you get lost in this process? Do you struggle with truth-telling, declaring peace where there is no peace? Do you struggle with lament? Which area of this process would be good for you to focus on as we work in community to contribute to shalom and human flourishing?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resources to Help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Book: <em>God Speaks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ivpress.com\/god-speaks-through-wombs\">Through Wombs: Poems on God\u2019s Unexpected Coming<\/a><\/em> by Drew Jackson<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cru.org\/createdfor\/2022\/drew-jackson\/\"><em>Being Present to the Presence of God: Solitude as a Practice to Distinguish the Voice of God<\/em><\/a> by Drew Jackson (9 minutes)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI Struggle with the Word Deserves\u201d Luke 7:1-5 We grow apples here.They are not famed likethe olive or the fig,but they do exist The universal law of applesapplies to them,as everywhere:one bad apple.
