About this listen
Each day, it seems another Christian institution or leader breaks our trust, raising questions about whether faith is an asset or a liability for living today. After almost three decades as a pastor, Gregg Koskela watched the disillusionment and pain grow as their church community splintered and broke apart.
Looking for wisdom and a perspective on faith that has stood the test of time, he found Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179)—a remarkable medieval woman who experienced the living vitality of God in all of creation. Her mystical visions are wild, but her faith is rooted in the gritty earth, seeing in the incarnation of Jesus an antidote to our modern tendency to separate the spiritual from the physical world.
Hildegard reminds us that though institutions and relationships break, God is still worth seeking. Koskela weaves his own experience with her life and words, honestly sharing his own journey toward finding this God who Hildegard makes so life giving.
