Dear Eastside,
Have you ever tried to change what you think—and how you think?
Spoiler alert: it is not easy!
Jesus said to love God with all our heart and soul—but also with all our mind.
How does that even work? How do past pain and trauma fit into that? Does it mean we have to stop using our brains and intellect? (No!) What does it look like for our minds to be converted to Christ? Is there good news in that? (Yes!)
This weekend, we’ll be joined by a special guest speaker to help us journey through the next "plot point" in our series: the mind.
Erin Anderelli is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Biblical and Theological Studies from Denver Seminary. She serves in discipleship ministries at her home church, Second Mile, here in Tucson, AZ. On a personal note, Erin is a longtime friend to both Jon and me, having served as one of our leaders during our time with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. I’m excited for her to guide us through this topic with a wealth of experience, vulnerability, and biblical insight.
See you soon!
Pastor Kirsten
