Episode 361: Epiphany Star Words

There are countless ways to observe the birth of Jesus at Christmas, from beloved songs and carols to Christmas pageants to nativity sets.  And we aren't lacking for ways to mark the new year, too, from New Year's Eve parties to the making of resolutions for the year ahead.  But just on the heels of both of those is the traditional remembering of the visit of the Magi following the star to meet the Christ-child, often called Epiphany, and quite often that story, and its meaning, can get lost in the shuffle.  How do we help making this story connect with the tactile faith of young people who learn best by touch, sight, play, and experience?  And how can we invite grown-ups to explore how God continues to lead us, throughout our lives, closer to Christ?  On today's "Crazy Faith Talk," pastors Erica, Sarah, and Steve explore one relatively new practice, "Star Words," that is meant to do both--to make our faith experience tangible, and to help move beyond a one-day Bible story to a deeper lifelong journey in relationship with God.  Join us for conversation about how "star words" might work, and how you might use one this year in your own spiritual practice!
