Description

Ryan and Patrick return with a special Good Way edition of Between the Lines, reflecting on the first Good Way intention: living deeply rooted in the story of God. They discuss how the stories we inhabit shape the lives we live, beginning with the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4 and Isaiah 61 (4:13 ). They explore sin as humanity’s attempt to order chaos apart from God and how Jesus restores dignity and empowers the powerless (12:31 ). They share personal practices—like hearing others’ stories, memorizing Scripture, and integrating Scripture into writing—to show how intention shapes communion with Christ and overflows in love for others (27:21 ). They close with practical entry points for beginners, including slow reading of John’s Gospel, imaginative prayer, and forming practices that fit one’s personality and season of life (44:56 ), before previewing next week’s focus on prayer (1:09:56 ).
