Third Way Relationships: Getting Along in a Small Space

It only makes sense to reflect on nature when we are at a beautiful park like Minnehaha Falls. But nature isn’t only in parks, it’s everywhere and there are some problems with our relationship with it. We human beings are like a bad date for the planet; it all seemed so perfect, and then we made everything about us and it got ugly. The fact is we are connected with all things and it’s time to back out of our stuck ways and start looking for Third Ways.

Third Way Relationships: Three-Stranded Living

In this episode, Greg brought Jacob’s Well rockstar, Heidi Esposito, to the table to talk about and demonstrate the core piece of DNA guiding what we do among our kids, youth and all you grown-ups. That’s ROPE; weaving and knotting the three strands of self, others and God. Heidi also shared about her coming sabbatical pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago!
¡Buen camino!

Leftovers: Play

Play? Really? There's got to be more to it than that! Check out this conversation from Melissa, Greg, & Paul about their experiences and perceptions of play and how that all played out (yuk yuk) this past week! 
 

Third Way Relationships: Play

Much of the time, our relationships are based on proximity: you become friends with your co-workers, classmates, or fellow parents. This is great when it works, but how do we start intentional relationships, rather than just accidental ones? What does starting a new friendship or romantic relationship even look like? Even if you couldn't be there in person, take this opportunity to consider the role that play has in your relationships!

Third Way Relationships: Who Will Go First?

Last week we talked about all the great hopes we bring to our relationships that turn into unwelcome expectations when handed over to others to fulfill for us. It’s a stuck place we all create from time to time, but there is another way. Not just an alternative, but a Third Way. It’s possible if we are willing to make one of the biggest and most important moves we human beings are capable of, and perhaps that defines us as human beings; the move from Me to We.

Third Way Relationships: I vs I

May 13 was Mother’s Day; a day with all sorts of baggage, good and, well, not-so-good. But at the heart of motherhood is something that applies to everyone, all the time, everywhere. It’s relationships. And if there is anywhere we get stuck over and over again that’s it. So for the next handful of episodes we will be exploring Third Ways for our world of relationships. What better way to honor moms, kids, and just plain people than to find a way to grow and bloom with those we love, live, work and play.

Third Way Having

The writer of the book of Ecclesiastes 1000s of years ago reflected on having wealth that exceeded anyone on earth and using it to have anything and everything and noted, “It all adds up to nothing.” Now I might like to verify that for myself… but I think I already know the answer. Having stuff or not having it isn’t the issue. Those are the stuck positions we get trapped in. It’s time to escape the trap and discover an alternative. Ready to take a Third Way look at ‘having’? Hope so...

Third Way Change

We love the social movements of the past, because they are convenient, and match what we already believe. We also love significant positive changes in our past, because we have all the benefit with little pain. What does this mean for social and personal change today? In this message, Paul Rosenwinkel explores change with a "third way" posture.
