Friends, let's pause and reflect on this powerful quote about Jesus from this week's guest, The Rev. Matt Fitzgerald of St. Pauls United Church of Christ in Chicago:

"One of the most beautiful things about Jesus is that he cannot be contained. One of the most difficult things about Jesus is that he cannot be contained. One of the most alarming things about Jesus is that he will not be contained... ...not by the grave, not by our assumptions, and certainly not by the confines of our minds."

How has Jesus challenged your assumptions lately? We'd love to hear your thoughts!

This week on Day1, Rev. Matt Fitzgerald of St. Pauls United Church of Christ, invites us to delve into the complexities of Mark 7:24-37 with his sermon, "We Are Poor Indeed If We Are Only Sane."

In his message, Rev. Fitzgerald explores moment when Jesus steps beyond conventional boundaries, revealing a divine love that is both unsettling and transformative. How do we, as leaders and educators, engage with a God who challenges our certainties.

This sermon offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the unpredictability of grace, the nature of divine humility, and the expansive possibilities that arise when we embrace the uncertainties of faith.

📅 Join us on Day1 this Sunday as we listen to Rev. Fitzgerald’s thoughtful exploration, and his interview with our host Rev. Dr. Katie Givens Kime. We think this message will resonate deeply with those who guide others on their spiritual journeys and who are called to continually expand their own understanding of the divine.
