Why Religion began with Blood Sacrifices? [SSL 340]

Hi friends,

In preparation for an adult-level Sunday School class, I came across an article that I wanted to share with you. It features the three momentous conceptions from Réne Girard and his keen insights on human behavior, violence, and how the work of Jesus the Christ deals a final blow to human violence and retribution.

Hello,

I’m simulcasting today.
A video is at Little Spark Stack on Substack while an audio version is part of the Spark My Muse RSS podcast feed.

I’m reading about the core wounds we each carry with us from my book The Wild Land Within.

These three woes are something unseen within us, but I’ve been hard at work to bring such places into a visual reality so we can get to know them better.

Get a map and see how the three core wounds appear on your inner landscape.

Thanks for listening and please share this with others!

I’d love to come along side of you and create a representation of that world. Reach out and begin the process of creating your own map. I’m here if you need me.🛟

❤️
-Lisa
