Third Way Relationships: Fit the Mold

One size fits all. That always works right? While “fitting the mold” may seem desirable on the surface, inevitably, there can be friction when our definition of the mold doesn’t match that of society and culture. Sometimes too we run into spaces in life or parts of ourselves that don’t seem to fit the mold.  So, what do we do? When this happens it seems like we have two options: either pretend and just try as hard as we can to “fit the mold,” or pretend like the molds don’t really exist and that we don’t really care about the molds that have been presented to us. There has to be a third way in all this that allows us another option in relationship- that is where we are going this week.

Third Way Relationships: Put Your Kids in the Corner

Every parent wants what's best for their child. There are whole industries telling parents what parenting techniques to use, what schools to go to, what toys to buy, what books to read, all with the goal of raising a child that is happy, healthy, and wealthy. This father's day we're providing some clarity to all this mumbo jumbo, and presenting an argument for why you should put your kids in the corner.

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.
