Hello - thank you all for joining. What a great conversation as we start this new book. As discussed we will read chapters 3-5 for this week and see where we land with our chapter questions.
As promised a few journal prompts to reflect upon:
Jesus saw Mary not as her condition but as a person worthy of dignity and restoration. How might our communities become more reflective of that same welcome toward people who feel excluded or misunderstood?
Chilton suggests that Mary became one of Jesus' closest followers because she experienced profound acceptance. How has acceptance—or the lack of it—shaped your own spiritual journey?
