Hello again. This week we begin Thursday's discussion, picking up some questions from our discussion of the Great Controversy and exploring history. Our main question is: how do we live after disappointment? After loss? After evil? How we answer this question matter immensely.
This week we talk about the Israelites, Jesus, 1844 and Louis Riel as well as the relationship between our stories and the story God is telling. Thanks again for listening.
Please send us your questions and comments. We love expanding the conversation.
Enjoy!

Hello! In this podcast we look at the question of founding trauma - the impact a difficult beginning can have on a people later on. We have an idea that the beginning is a very good place to start for a very good reason, and that as communities, we often don't look at our own beginnings critically enough in terms of considering the negative consequences those beginnings can have on how we function in the present. We do this through bringing together two stories, two communities, that come together on a single date. These communities are both important to me, in fact, I am a part of both of them - the Métis Nation, and the Adventist Church, and the date that brings them together (slightly roundabout) is October 22nd, 1844. From here on in the stories continue on the recording.
Difficult Beginnings
(Note: At one point I said "wife" when I meant "daughter". There's probably other errors as well, but I figured this one was worth clarifying).
(Note 2: The top half of this post is in the Michif language - relevant considering the subject matter of this podcast.)
