SUMMARY:Divine Laughter\, Humor\, and Wellbeing? (Virtual Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:Register now for the second workshop of Living Well\, Leading Well\, a three-part monthly series of virtual workshops promoting wholeness\, wellbeing\, and renewal in our personal and professional lives. \nWhat do humor and comedy have to do with faith\, theology\, and wellbeing? Everything! In the Bible\, God laughs at people\, people laugh at God\, and there are some really funny stories. Think\, for example\, about Sarah and Abraham both laughing God in the face when God promised Sarah would bear a son in her old age. Karl and Rolf Jacobson will present on what church members\, theologians\, and ministers can learn from the serious business of comedy. \nRolf and Karl Jacobson\, brothers from the same mother\, suffer from the genetically inherited traits of being fans of Minnesota sports teams and Lutheran pastors.  Karl is the lead pastor of the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd in Minneapolis; Rolf is the Rogness Professor of Scripture\, Theology\, and Ministry at Luther Seminary in St. Paul.  They’ve written a few funny books about theology together\, including Crazy Talk: A Not-So-Stuffy Dictionary of Theological Terms and Crazy Book: A Not-So-Stuffy Dictionary of Biblical Terms. \nThe zoom meeting link will be sent in the confirmation email you receive after registering.

SUMMARY:Fearfully & Wonderfully Made? (Virtual Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:Register now for the first workshop of Living Well\, Leading Well\, a three-part monthly series of virtual workshops promoting wholeness\, wellbeing\, and renewal in our personal and professional lives. \n \nRev. Dr. Anna Madsen serves as a freelance theologian in Two Harbors\, Minnesota. Through OMG: Center for Theological Conversation (www.omgcenter.com) she writes articles\, books\, and blogs; consults congregations and individuals; and presents on matters related to the intersection of theology\, faith\, and life. She also hosts The Spent Dandelion Theological Retreat Center (www.spentdandelion.com)\, where rostered leaders and laity can stay in the studio apartment overlooking the forest to retreat\, reflect\, and renew by way of conversation with Anna\, making use of her library\, or simply taking in all the beauty that is Minnesota’s North Shore. In 2004\, an accident killed her husband and gave her son\, Karl\, a traumatic brain injury. That unwelcome event entered Anna\, Karl\, and her daughter Else into many new worlds\, not least of all the new world of life with a loved one with disabilities. \nBased on Anna’s personal experience of grief and her son’s traumatic brain injury\, this workshop will wrestle with questions surrounding disability\, suffering\, and God’s intentions\, interventions\, and the possibility of redemption of and hope despite pain and loss. Psalm 139’s claim of being “fearfully and wonderfully made” might initially sound comforting\, but in light both of disability and suffering\, it raises questions about whether we are fearfully and wonderfully made…for this? Join Anna in this first workshop to hear her theological and personal responses to these questions and more. Cost is $20. \nThe zoom meeting link will be sent in the confirmation email you receive after registering.
