Hi Friends! You might've noticed, a new episode dropped last week! Those of you who took our listener survey earlier this year said you weren't really into checking the blog for show notes... BUT several of you have reached out asking for show notes for this episode so we are at your service.

Lori, Shannon and I worked from Dean Brackley's definition of downward mobility:

"The solution to our global crisis is not that the poor become rich, which is neither feasible nor desirable, but that the rich join with the poor. The only solution is communities of equals, resisting pyramids of inequality. While some economic differences are legitimate, discrimination and misery are not. In communities of equals, personal talents, instead of advancing some at others' expense, are stewarded for the benefit of all."

Often, we think of living a life of poverty when using the term "downward mobility", but Henri Nouwen in The Selfless Way of Christ points out three great temptations of upward mobility, not one of them being exaclty and only physical wealth:
"Three temptations by which we are confronted again and again are the temptation to be relevant, the temptation to be spectacular, and the temptation to be powerful."

Do you feel the pull of those temptations? Had you heard the term downward mobility before? Are you consciously making choices for the benefit of common good and our fellow humans? What does this look like in your actual life? Join us in our Facebook group to continue the conversation or here in the comments!

The use of downward mobility has a significant benefit for our brothers. This has a positive effect on our real life today.
