Life is my religion
A deep dive into the theopoetics of life and faith as I know it. Inspired by Jim Palmer’s meme “Life is my religion”, this series looks at a different way of viewing religion in general and the Christian faith in particular. For me it has become the way I define my faith and live it out holistically.
- Life is my religion
- Being alive is my daily spiritual practice
- Love is my rule
- Humankind is my family
- Authentic friendships is my church
- The kingdom of god runs through my veins
- Jesus is my brother
- Becoming and being all that I am is my calling
- Helping you become and be all that you are is my ministry
- My deepest feelings is my guide
- All living things are my teacher
