Welcome back to Series 2 of Conversations with Rachael and Scott.
This podcast is a conversation between friends around a variety of topics, with a few guided questions.
We aim to introduce different topics to our audience and encourage people to continue the conversation further, such that the podcast is not the end point but the starting point for the topic of conversation. You may continue this with friends or family. It maybe with a home group from your church. It may randomly pop up in conversations that you don’t expect. Or you may just choose to reflect on the topic further as part of your prayer time or as part of your day.
Whichever way this happens, we hope that you will choose to engage with the conversations in your way as God continues to move and draw you closer into God’s presence. After all, we are all on the same journey in God revealing God to us. We are all different expressions of God revealing God’s self within our journeys and we are all at different stages of that journey too.
We hope that God will continue to encourage you through these conversations and continue to draw you deeper into God’s presence and give you peace as God reveals God’s self to you each day of your journey.
In this new season of Conversations, we will be building on our discussions in our last season of creativity and explore Limitations this season. In particular, throughout the season we will explore limitations in the context of creativity, and from this lead into how limitations impact on our spiritual journey.
Last month, we explored that freedom isn’t freedom if it takes away from another. Unfortunately, this is how captivity gets disguised as freedom and these are the subtleties of captivity. Most people don’t wake up to this fact and it becomes the constant battle of self and my freedom which in turn we become a slave to, a perpetual cycle of self.
This month we explore how we view limitations and how society places limitations on us. In particular, we look at limitations and freedom, and how limitations can actually give freedom.
Leading from this, we explore how limitations can trigger creativity or a creative space, looking at examples about how limiting a colour pallet or limiting choices can actually increasing creativity.
We also consider equality, equity and fairness, particularly in the context of wants, and how these concepts all explore different ways limitations impact us.
Finally, we delve into love and limitations and whether love has limitations, ultimately leading us to a conclusion that the reason why God can stay silent and not intervene is so we can grow and mature, both individually and as a species.
