No Need to Complain

What does a Christian do with loss, change, and failure? How should you emotionally respond in moments when you acutely realize your finitude, brokenness, and mortality? When it seems like permanence is fleeting and the stability of your efforts is slipping through your finger tips, where do you go? Or when the veneer of everything glamorous is either rotting or getting rusty, what do you say? What do you do when grey seems like the new gold?

In this second episode of season four, on Common Grace and Communion in Culture, Chris and Kyle inaugurate a five-part analysis of various tracks from the band, First Aid Kit. The episode they discuss their song "Stay Gold." They talk about aesthetics to be appreciated, our status as creatures, and how to have hope despite loss and broken relationships. Also, when you keep the Sabbath, the grey starts to look more and more like gold.

Two Pour Spirits is a podcast of Project : Neighbor. Project : Neighbor is a theological think tank and spiritual training ground for the Church and the common good. We think theologically about everything from soil to sky, and disciple believers from crib to casket. We draw widely from the catholic Christian tradition, are ecumenically-oriented, and practically-minded.

Project : Neighbor is co-directed by Rev. Dr. Kyle David Bennett and Dr. Christopher Cimorelli.
