Beyond Judgment

Carolyn Bjerke, minister and Ruth Ricards, worship associate

Judgment is quick. It tells us we already know. But what if we don’t?

So much of our suffering, within ourselves and between us, comes from the stories we assume are true. The moment we decide we understand, we often stop listening. We close the door.
This Sunday, we explore the possibility that curiosity is a more faithful guide than certainty. Drawing on wisdom that invites us to question the stories we tell, we’ll consider what it means to loosen our grip on judgment, of others, of the world, and even of ourselves.

What might become possible if, instead of deciding, we wondered?
