What’s Your Script?

The start of a new year is a good time to look at our life and what is important. In this episode, John Hilley explores if a deeper understanding of our baptism can help us live into our truest selves. Everyone has a script. And everyone lives by one - even those expressly trying to avoid one. Baptism suggests a different script. Call it the biblical script, a particular story by which we make sense of our lives and find meaning. What is your script? Does it include your baptismal identity as beloved? This episode is the first in a three-part exploration to bring fresh understanding to what is seen by many as an archaic, ancient rite. Thanks to Kevin Adams for his work "Living Under Water: Baptism as a Way of Life" which is referenced in this episode. This episode includes the telling of the near drowning and "baptismal moment" of the Hall of Fame knuckleball pitcher R. A. Dickey and includes a must-listen of Briana Tyson singing Into the Jordan.
