A Harvest of Heart

Over this past summer, I found unexpected solace watching the television series, “The Chosen” while curled up on my couch each week, immersing myself in this groundbreaking portrayal of Jesus and His disciples created by filmmaker Dallas Jenkins. The series offers a fresh and intimate perspective on biblical stories, bringing these ancient characters to life in a relatable and modern way. I am captivated by the series’ ability to blend historical accuracy with compelling storytelling.
It’s a testament to the enduring power of faith and its ability to inspire and connect people across time. With stunning visuals, compelling characters, and a deep exploration of faith, The Chosen has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide.
Unlike traditional biblical adaptations, The Chosen focuses on the lives of those surrounding Jesus, providing a unique and relatable perspective. The series has garnered immense popularity through a groundbreaking crowdfunding model, allowing millions to experience this story for free.
As summer fades into autumn, a familiar sense of introspection washes over me. Much like the changing leaves, I find myself shedding the old and making way for new growth. It’s a time for reflection, for turning inward and evaluating what truly matters. It only felt appropriate that we explore “The Golden Rule” for our September edition of our Lifestyle Guide. This timeless principle forms the foundation of strong communities and lasting relationships. It’s a simple concept, yet its impact is profound. By embodying this golden rule in our daily lives, we create a more harmonious and fulfilling world for ourselves and those around us.
I am over the moon that Rev. Barbara Marcum and volunteer Carol Wood have joined together to bring The Chosen Series to the CC Young Campus through a weekly series of screenings followed by discussions led by Barbara Marcum and Carol Wood. I believe there’s something profoundly powerful about revisiting age-old wisdom through a contemporary lens. The Golden Rule, that timeless principle of treating others as we wish to be treated, has never felt more relevant. It’s a compass guiding us towards a more compassionate and connected world.
This season, let’s commit to cultivating empathy, kindness, and understanding within ourselves and with those around us. By embracing the teachings of the past, we can create a brighter future for ourselves and our community.
