Show Notes

A five-minute Christian meditation and lectio divina practice on Proverbs 4:18, with a reading from Brian Zahnd's Unseen Existences. Day 35 of the Unseen Existences series.

Scripture Proverbs 4:18 (NRSVUE) But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day.

Refrain I am being dazzled, gradually, into the light.

Quote Brian Zahnd, from Unseen Existences "I've been gradually dazzled by Christ into a much more hopeful and glorious theology. But along the way I've also learned that I have to tell it slant. I can't always expect someone to see in five minutes what it's taken me fifty years to see. In our pilgrim journey we need to be careful not to blind others with what we have seen. We dazzle... gradually." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
