He writes, "Enough of this unbelieving religion that masquerades as faith. Divine favor is placed on what we have disgraced."</li> <li>Christie explains how poetry explores "feelings, ideas and experiences that are the most difficult to express in words." </li> <li>There's deliverance in the Gospels. Jackson, with incredible brillance and depth, gives his gift of poetry to make a more whole, just and peaceful world for us all.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Podcast links:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.blackbarnonline.com/">Click here</a> to join the conversations we have with listeners every week around the podcast.</p> <p>_______</p> <p>Sponsor appreciation: We're so grateful to partner with show sponsors that keep making our work possible.</p> <p><a href="https://www.betabrand.com/ordinary">Click here</a> for 30% off your order with Betabrand, for a limited time.
