The last week or two I’ve been on the road for some work and some visits, which means I’ve been spending more time in my camper van, which is a converted Sprinter called “Vandalf the White.” This week, I’m musing on the child’s impulse to build forts, how our imaginations are populated by the stories and people we grew up with, and the healing offered by creative processes.

This week, since I was down in Florida for the Mere Christians C.S. Lewis Conference and thinking about stories, I couldn’t help but remember this same time last year when Vandalf the White had a massive breakdown on the way to this same event! Stressful as it was, it turned out to be an occasion for Jesus to kind of overwhelm me with kindness. In the moment, we may not feel like we’re in an interesting story, but sometimes we get little hints that we are being woven into a great tapestry of meaning.

This week, in City Walls, Part 2, I’m exploring the ways we try to manage our fear of vulnerability by mitigating risk through simulated life, whether it’s by hiding behind the wall of a screen, or shaping our lives around the idol of self-protection. How might God be inviting us outside our walls to join him in a riskier, but real, loving relationality? The post S6:E21 – City Walls, pt 2 appeared first on Matthew Clark.
