Episode 41: I'm Not Retired, I'm Repurposed: A Conversation with Peg Arnold
As mentioned in this episode:
 
Disturb us, Lord, whenWe are too well pleased with ourselves,When our dreams have come trueBecause we have dreamed too little,When we arrived safelyBecause we sailed too close to the shore.
Disturb us, Lord, whenWith the abundance of things we possessWe have lost our thirstFor the waters of life;Having fallen in love with life,We have ceased to dream of eternityAnd in our efforts to build a new earth,We have allowed our visionOf the new Heaven to dim.
Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly,To venture on wider seasWhere storms will show your mastery;Where losing sight of land,We shall find the stars.
We ask You to push backThe horizons of our hopes;And to push into the futureIn strength, courage, hope, and love.
Attributed — Sir Francis Drake — 1577

Francis Shaeffer Quote:
 
“Our relationship with each other is the measure the world uses to judge whether our message is truthful. Christian community is the final apologetic.”
 
Adam Hamilton Quote:
 
“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience.  We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”  How profound!  Jesus is a spiritual being who had a human experience!  
 
Dr. Richard Fredericks Quote:
“The church is the hope of the world, and together we embrace God‘s call to be his radical, countercultural counter, instinctual, forgiving, and grace, extending peacemaking reconciling community. That is the hope of the world. Nothing else is.”

Mentioned in Episode 32
Scripture:
We use our powerful God-tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God, fitting every loose thought and emotion, and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ. - 2 Corinthians 10:5 (MSG)
 
  “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:36-40 (NIV)
 
For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 2 Timothy 4:3 (NIV)
