SynopsisIn a world experiencing turbulent change, we need people who are resilient, kind, open, generous, and brave. How do we become those people? In Fully Alive , now available in paperback, popular podcaster Elizabeth Oldfield uses the seven deadly sins as a framework to explore questions such as: How can I move from sloth to attention to make the most of my short life and stop getting distracted by trivialities? Is it possible to move from wrath to peacemaking and become a depolarizing person in an age of outrage and division? What might it look like to move from gluttony to awe , finding transcendence in expansive, life-giving ways--not in a tub of ice cream or a bottle of wine? How can I move from pride to connection , overcoming the disconnection that keeps me from intimacy, community, and ultimately the divine?Oldfield shows why, in a world heavy on judgment, she still finds the concept of sin liberating--and how, to her surprise, she keeps finding in her Christian faith ways to feel fully alive., Public scholar and popular podcaster Elizabeth Oldfield shows why, in a world stripped of both forgiveness and responsibility but heavy on judgment, she still finds the concept of sin liberating--and how, to her surprise, she keeps finding the themes, rituals, and communities of Christianity a source of spiritual strength when things fall apart., In a world experiencing turbulent change, we need people who are resilient, kind, open, generous, and brave.
