The Robcast: Apocalyptic Hope →

Rob and Kristen Bell have been recording together since the beginning of quarantine in the US. They’re great to listen to together. Here are two bits I loved from their recent episode (Overcast):

The apocalyptic truth is this human capacity to create rituals that open our eyes to the depth and meaning and joy of life, and we can do this, we have everything we need for this, and we’re living in this system that tells us we don’t have.

And:

This word politics comes from this Greek word politicos which means citizen…we’re citizens, and we’re all participating in this shared common life we have together. Politics is actually a good word.

Politics is how we’ve arranged ourselves, and that there’s something sacred about our shared life together. And so, for awhile, I’ve been very passionate about people reclaiming politics as a good word, how do we arrange our lives together? What matters? Where does wealth go? What do we do with our shared resources? What most people know about politics is the hijacking of our lives together.
