2013 was a great year for Redeem the Commute, we explored the Sermon on the Mount, a series on  Easter, another on Work & Rest, Becoming like Family, and finally our Christmas series, The Night that Changed Everything.

Before we start our next series, we wanted to share some of our favourites from the last year.  We picked them either for their creative setting, or because they had great interviews, or content we thought was worth hearing again.

Without further ado, here’s one of our favourites:

Reminder: We are reading the Bible in sync as one community – so check out today’s reading here.

Reminder: The best way to grow spiritually this year is to join our Christianity 101 in the Cafe Course in Pickering starting January 22nd. Register for you and a friend today!

Monday - A New Idea - Self Denial

One of the major news stories in Canada earlier this year was Chief Theresa Spence’s hunger strike. She willingly gave up food, other than fish broth, to protest and pursue what she considered a greater good. She's one of many stories of people giving up something good, in order to pursue an even greater good. In diets, people give up foods they love, for greater health. Or they fast before surgery, again for better health. Parents give up money, time, independence, much of their lives, for the good of a child. Many a professional has given up opportunities, promotions, raises for better work-life balance. One man I know gave up his career as a rising star in a major legal firm, to study and become a pastor. The list goes on. Maybe even includes you! Question: What would be important enough to make you give up food?
