LIve in the Moment
In this the third episode of the Peter Jackson documentary on the making of The Beatles' album Let it Be and the iconic rooftop concert, Eric Folkerth, Kenny and Mike discuss the faith reflections spotted in The Beatles: Get Back.
Faith Reflections:
Worship Process: Planning and conducting to enhance the experience and conversation between congregations and God.
Living with greater expectations, changes, and growth within a group or relationship.
The power of prooftexting to shape narrative and history.
Scapegoating: The preference to deflect and assign blame.
Live in and for the moments in life.
Live into one's passion, gift and calling.
