Jon TysonGUEST
And the most courageous thing you may have to do in your life is actually believe the gospel is true for someone like you.
Jon TysonGUEST
I close with this quote, I love this, from Brennan Manning, who was like...
Jon TysonGUEST
He wrote a book called The Ragamuffin Gospel, and he was just like, honestly, like a kinda jacked up alcoholic priest.
Jon TysonGUEST
But you know what he was? The one that Jesus loved.
Don KeathleyHOST
Here's an empowering September 6th podcast titled All the Ungodly Are Justified.
Don KeathleyHOST
Brennan Manning was an Episcopal priest that had a revelation of grace, I mean, way, way, way before his time.
Don KeathleyHOST
He was the author of the Ragamuffin Gospel, which a lot of you that have been around a while are very familiar with the Ragamuffin Gospel.
Don KeathleyHOST
He was an Episcopalian priest that always struggled with alcoholism his entire life.
Don KeathleyHOST
Up to the day he died, Brennan struggled with a drinking problem, which may have given him a lot of insight about God's grace and God's goodness.
Don KeathleyHOST
He had this to say about grace.
Don KeathleyHOST
This is a direct quote from Brennan Manning.
Don KeathleyHOST
He said, this vulgar grace, and then he put in parentheses, it is shocking and offends the sense of fairness.
StuartHOST
And so this morning, as we think about this kingdom community, we're going to launch into this.
StuartHOST
Listen to these words from Brennan Manning, who describes this kingdom life in his book, The Furious Longing of God.
StuartHOST
This grabbed my heart all week.
StuartHOST
Listen to this.
Dean GroetzingerHOST
Abba's Child.
Dean GroetzingerHOST
Has anyone ever read Abba's Child? It's by a guy named Brennan Manning.
Dean GroetzingerHOST
Brennan Manning was a priest, a Catholic priest.
Dean GroetzingerHOST
I can't remember what branch of the tree, but he was a Catholic priest, but he was an alcoholic.
Dean GroetzingerHOST
And he never was able to get past the relapses.
Elizabeth BergetGUEST
And then as you breathe out, you focus on another, usually complimentary statement.
Elizabeth BergetGUEST
So I first came across this practice in a book by Brennan Manning, where he would say, oh, the words are going to not escape me, but essentially like, you are God, I am beloved.
Elizabeth BergetGUEST
And you just kind of do that in and out as many times as you can, or within a certain set of time.
Elizabeth BergetGUEST
Or if you're a busy mom and you're standing at the kitchen sink, maybe just once or twice, right? But it's just this very simple way of tethering yourself to who God is and the truth of God and the truth of your own belovedness, wherever you are.
Pete PortalHOST
decades and they live in north carolina where they run a thing called the 18 inch journey which is kind of helping 18 to 30 year olds i think roughly kind of in a kind of discipleship school focusing on you know identity in christ is how i guess i'd put it i went to visit them a couple of years ago and was just like flipping heck this is what decades of just staying rooted not kind of jumping from place to place investing in one you know one plot of land big plot of land but investing in one place and just kind of growing deep deep roots this interview is wonderful because johnny's just so kind of unguarded we go into all sorts around come Comparison, insecurity, worship, written worship songs written by those whose politics we might have issue with and what do we do about that and identity in Christ.
Pete PortalHOST
And of course we hit Brennan Manning quotes because Johnny introduced me to Brennan Manning, you know, the theologian who wrote Ragamuffin Gospel and Abba's Child and that sort of thing.
Pete PortalHOST
Anyway, if you don't know it, you'll soon hear us quoting it and probably go out and buy a copy.
Pete PortalHOST
But this is my interview with Jonathan Helser.
28 MINS LATER
Pete PortalHOST
On the topic of finishing well or not.
Pete PortalHOST
One of your favorite authors I know and someone who I'm kind of waking up to recently in my own journey of recognizing that God sees me as son, not as some kind of duty-bound hireling, which I thought I knew, but apparently takes a long time to get out of you, that mindset.
Pete PortalHOST
And that is this amazing writer and person, Brennan Manning, who by all intents and purposes, you know, had...
Pete PortalHOST
I don't know when it would have been, 80s and 90s would it have been when he was writing, or maybe 90s and noughties? Yeah,
Josh MillerHOST
Our scripture for today comes from Ephesians 1, verse 7.
Josh MillerHOST
Scripture says, In his book, The Ragamuffin Gospel, Brennan Manning makes an incredibly astute observation of those who are poor in spirit.
Josh MillerHOST
He writes, the saved sinner is prostrate in adoration, lost in wonder and praise.
Josh MillerHOST
He knows repentance is not what we do in order to earn forgiveness.
Aaron NinaberHOST
The reality is all of us None of us escape this earth unscarred by suffering.
Aaron NinaberHOST
Brennan Manning said this, he said, to be grateful for an unanswered prayer, to give thanks in a state of interior desolation, to trust in the love of God in the face of the marvels, cruel circumstances, obscenities and common places of life is to whisper a doxology in darkness.
Aaron NinaberHOST
There's something so powerful in the moments of pain and sorrow when we say, God, I still trust you.
Aaron NinaberHOST
I don't understand, but I trust you and I love you.
Josh MillerHOST
Romans 5.8 says, but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Josh MillerHOST
you Brennan Manning in the Ragamuffin Gospel says, to be human is to be poor.
Josh MillerHOST
See, all of us are broken.
Josh MillerHOST
All of us are in need.
Scott SaulsGUEST
And, you know, nonfiction writers...
Scott SaulsGUEST
Just feel like people who are willing to be honest, you know, the likes of Brennan Manning, the likes of, I mean, I love a lot of what Dane Ortlund's done more recently, you know, in his pastoral writings.
Scott SaulsGUEST
