Swedenborgian Community Interfaith Podcast

None of us are perfect, there’s always room to grow - indeed, we’re told that all have fallen short of the glory of God in all things. Despite this we tend to harshly judge ourselves and others, carrying the voice of our childhood critics, harsh rule-setters, and bullies as our own and often not giving it a second thought. The woman at the well is often criticized as living a blatantly sinful (meaning "missed-the-mark") life - but are we any different? Who’s to say our anger, lust, judgment, anxiety and on (and on) aren’t similar states - distancing us from peace and love? Even so, the Lord tells us that we are at a well with the very source of living water offering us a drink of transformation! That we no longer have to thirst at shallow states of life, but that all of us, even us outcasts, are embraced by the living wellspring of eternal life and truth - and asked to cast aside the staleness of ego-driven ideas and desires.Justine Lucas' music: https://justinelucas.bandcamp.com/We are your loving, affirming
