About this episode
The episode discusses the concept of love flowing downward and its implications for human experience, referencing scripture and Richard Rohr's insights.
Scripture Galatians 5:1 (NRSVUE) For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. Refrain Love flows unstoppably toward me. Quote Richard Rohr, from The Universal Christ "Love is constantly creating future possibilities for the good of all concerned — even, and especially, when things go wrong. Love allows and accommodates everything in human experience, both the good and the bad, and nothing else can really do this. Nothing. Love flows unstoppably downward, around every obstacle — like water. Love and water seek not the higher place but always the lower." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
