Back in April, I posted a longer entry that included a four-square consideration of freedom and faithfulness.  I’d meant to revisit the topic later, but not this later (over a month later).  Even though I didn’t write about it, though, doesn’t mean I wasn’t thinking about it.

Last week I had the opportunity to say a few words in our “senior chapel.”  It was my second time to speak to them in the last month, but the first time speaking to a gym full in years (for which I am grateful, really).  The talk brings in the ideas of freedom and faithfulness in the context of the story of the Prodigal Son.  It’s a piece definitely inspired by the thinking of Henri Nouwen, but then I take a slightly different turn with it.  If you want, you can read the piece here.

When I started putting the piece together a few weeks ago, I decided to stay away from the Poco a Poco podcast, as it was set to talk about freedom and our relationship with the Father.  I’m glad I did.  I started back on the podcast this morning and found that they had a lot to say about freedom and faithfulness (though in a slightly different way).  Looking forward to unpacking that now that the chapel is over and done.
