This past week I went down a rabbit hole of sorts. I was reading a chapter on mimetic desire and rivalry (don’t ask) which was developed by philosopher and all around towering intellect, René Girard. So naturally I started reading about him which led me to a student of mimetic theory, Andre Rabe, who runs a ministry called “Always Loved” which then led me to his YouTube Channel, in which I watched a video entitled Icons of Beauty in which he tells a simple story about a girl and a waterfall and this story has sat with me all week. (I know I’m not alone when I say this is what Interneting looks like in 2024 for many of us. Sigh.)
This week I wanted to just share the story he tells of this girl and the waterfall. I could tell the story but instead I’ll just paste the video here and you can watch.

It almost seems a tad cliché to say this but the CHURCH is the people–not a building–and this past Sunday, we demonstrated this unequivocally. How did we do this, you may ask? Because even though we were physically located in a very different space than where we were used to meeting on Sunday mornings, there was no mistaking the fact that the vibe felt in this space was still genuinely Grassroots!Perhaps this is the first time you’re hearing of this or perhaps you’ve got a few more questions. Here are a few questions that you might have:

This past Sunday I spoke on how the Good News of Jesus helps heal our wounded images of God. There was a lot to be said about this topic and the problem with Sunday sermon preaching is that I don’t always get (read: never) enough time to fully expound on thoughts and themes to my satisfaction. And I get enough flack as is with how long I preach 😉 This is why this little corner of the newsletter is handy!
