Nerve: What Do You Want, and Will You Act on It?

Knowing what you want is one thing. Saying it out loud, and acting on it, is another, especially when the voices around you, and sometimes the one inside you, would rather you kept quiet.

This sermon closes Listen to Your Life with Bartimaeus, the man by the road outside Jericho who would not stop shouting, and with the question Jesus asked him. Along the way: a second helping of casserole nobody took, a family's miserable drive to Abilene, and Parker Palmer's very honest answer about why he wanted to be a college president. The real you is a gift, one you give to others and to yourself.

Mark 10:46-52. Week 4 of Listen to Your Life.
