How would you describe your experience of God's love being God's joy?
So by mystic filter, you mean a new pair of eyes to see God through?
Is that the idea?
We're gonna pause for a short break, but we will be right back.
I'm wondering how you communicate that to people who might not have had that same experience.
I sometimes say to people that they have these idols in their heads.
You're talking about the false god, not the god of love, and those idols...
you know, we often, when we look at the first commandment, people say, well, I don't worship idols.
But there's a kind of idol smashing that has to happen in people's consciousnesses to move out of the idea of, you know, certain kinds of God, you know, the God of vengeance, the God of destruction, and into the idea of the God of love.
So how do you move people from one understanding of God to that understanding of the God of love if they've not had experiences of love?
And maybe that happens with the
your homies, maybe they haven't had an experience of the God of love.
How do you move people from that?
Are there people for whom that's particularly difficult in your experience?
Is there a certain kind of group of people that find that hard?
That's really beautiful.
What do you do with the sheep and the goats then?
What do you do with Jesus saying some are in, some are out?
I guess I've met people who do evil things, I would say that, right?
And, you know, you look at history and you see people who are doing evil things.
