Love, Simon is the coming of age story we needed but never thought would come out. Simon is an ordinary teen living an ordinary life, except that he has a big secret: he is gay. Coming out has been an historically scary thing, whether people are worried about safety, acceptance, or even just being the same as before coming out. How do we, as fellow humans, allow each other to breathe and live our truths without enforcing stereotypes and expectations? Wren Warpula and Zuko Beuchler explore coming out of the closet, taking risks and daring to just be ourselves.

Black Panther is undoubtedly one of of the most impactful movies of 2018. Why was it so important, and what did it actually do in our culture? Today we talk about the importance of counter-mythology with poet, teacher, and activist, Joe Davis. Check out more of Joe's work at his website, http://joedavispoetry.com/.

"The Man Who Invented Christmas" This is the story of Charles Dickens’ (Dan Stevens) writing of “A Christmas Carol.” Its setting is Christmas (who doesn’t want a dose of Christmas in July!) but the movie is about a lot more. Not only was his character, Scrooge (Christopher Plummer), tormented by ghosts to reclaim his soul, but Charles found himself dragged through his own life and reclaimed in the facing of his ghosts. Question: Got any ghosts? We all do. Maybe that’s what this movie is all about. It’s a fun, poignant and touching family film.

We all have awareness around our body. Most of the time that awareness turns to shame, the feeling that we are less valuable because of our bodies. This week we're going to be talking about the ways we body shame ourselves and each other. We'll be joined by Sarah Busch, an expert in bully prevention who also has experienced body shaming firsthand (like most of us). Let's work together to create a post-body shame world.

On July 15, we were fortunate to have Angie & Mike Sonrode join us from the Mid Drift Movement (check out that podcast here). Intern Pastor Paul Rosenwinkel also shared some thoughts (and a challenge) related to the transitions our bodies go through, the scars that are part of us, and the wholeness and perfection our bodies still have.

Like it our not, our bodies change over time. Sometimes that comes from a specific event, like childbirth, surgery, or an injury, and sometimes that change just comes from time. How can we learn to love our changing bodies, instead of just tolerate them? Angie and Mike Sonrode from the Mid Drift Movement spoke about the transitions our bodies undergo, and the wholeness and perfection they still have.
The Mid Drift Movement is an inclusive movement with a focus on postpartum (after birth) body image. The Sonrodes reference this video (and you can hear a portion of it), which gives a good sense of what they're about.

Back in April of 2014 Terry Esau shared a message as part of our "Real & Ideal" series. Real and Ideal has a lot to say about our attitudes to our own bodies and our health. Listen to this particularly poignant story Terry told us. It fits the Body± from this past week well. Want to hear Terry's whole message? Here's a LINK.

Everyone wants to be more healthy. However, most of us don’t have a solid idea of what ‘healthy’ actually means. Does it mean running a 5 minute mile? Having a toned physique? Being able to get out of bed? This week we will be talking with Farrah Frye, yoga teacher and mindfulness practitioner, about bodies and what ‘healthy’ means for each of us.
