This episodeGod loves monsters
Summary
<p>Jonathan Martin shares an original piece of short fiction, "God loves monsters." Through the fictional narrative of a boy named Jake, we are provoked to take a look at the monsters we see in the mirror, and the monsters we see in the world. What does it change for us, if God doesn't have an adversarial relationship with the monsters? What would we do with the kind of God who makes monsters into pets...and maybe even, friends? </p><p>From Jake's story, you are invited to reflect on your own story, and obscure texts about ancient monsters in the Hebrew Bible. You may find that the spookiest thing about this monster story shared a little before Halloween, is that you might actually find yourself in it.</p>
