Kenny and Mike welcome special guest Rev. Eric Folkerth as they continue their discussion of the Netflix documentary Echo in the Canyon. In this second episode they spot and discuss the faith elements echoed in the film. 

Faith Echoes 

Faith lives through the passing of stories and tradition from one generation to the next for them to apply in their voice and to their context.

Notion of the Communion of the Saints, "Balcony People" who pass on faith. 

Openness of one generation to accept adaptions from the next.

Creative nature of God-Creativity is a gift of God that is a part of God's sustaining and redeeming grace and work.

Expansive nature of God allows sacred experiences and moments beyond traditional spaces and worship. Tangible, impactful ministry can often has its genisis through impromptu communional gatherings.

Temptation to remain in holy moments and places vs. Christ's call to go down from the mountatin, into the world and ministry.
