Episode 001: What Does it Look Like to Live Upside Down?

Hey y'all! 

Lori here. Welcome to our first episode of the Upside Down Podcast! In this episode, you'll hear the backstory of how this podcast came to be, how we landed on the name Upside Down, and how the five of us met! You'll also be introduced to each of us more personally, hear what three fictional characters we think best reflect who we are (or who we want to be), and be encouraged to do one thing, right now to bring the kingdom come right where you are. 

When we think of what it means to follow Jesus, we can't help but consider that the King of the universe chose to enter our world in the very opposite way that we would expect a king to arrive. He came as a brown skinned baby, born to a virgin woman in a filthy barn. His father was a Jewish carpenter who would pass on his trade to his son who would eventually deconstruct every thing the world ever believed about the kingdom of God and their Messiah. 

Jesus flipped the entire world on its head with every word He spoke, every parable He taught, every person He touched, every law He fulfilled and every law He abolished. Jesus came that we might follow Him into the margins of society and live counter culturally to everything the world is preaching at us. 

This is the upside down kingdom and this is the more you will be invited to consider in this episode.


So glad you're here!!

Loved this! This is actually my first time listening to a podcast. I heard about from Shannon so I gave it a go. I have a hard time knowing who was who talking but I'll figure that out eventually.

Now here I was folding laundry and someone was talking about how she adopted her daughter and she was pregnant at the time and then their little girl came into their world and I cried.

I loved the dinners and potlucks some of you were talking about, just meeting people where they are at, and around a meal. What a blessing!

I came across here this morning and got intrigued. However, I didn't manage to understand the essence of the monologue as I fell asleep, soothed by the voice lol
Well, I will be commuting back soon, so there is my next chance. Tnx

I've just joined in and am listening back from the beginning. I LOVE the idea of family dinners. I may pitch it to my husband and see if we could do something like that. :D

Dear women of faith,
I've been in a dry season for awhile, feeling disconnected and lonely.
Found your podcast and listen to it during my commute. Thank you that your words, laughter and tears are just soaking into my parched soul.
I love that feeling of being gathered in, grabbing a mug of coffee and sitting among good friends who speak truth and wisdom into my mess!
