This week's episode features audio from a workshop with Sarah Chestnut entitled, Reflecting on the Incarnation with the Help of Poets: Jesus’ Humanity and Ours. 

The incarnation is central both to the revealing of God to the world and the redemption and restoration of true humanness. How might poems by Christian Wiman, Andrew Hudgens, Mary Karr, and Tracy K. Smith give us imagination and hope for the restoration of our broken humanity?

Sarah Chestnut grew up in a small, rural community in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, outside Yosemite National Park. Her parents own a small furniture manufacturing business and she has fond childhood memories of days spent at the workshop making sawdust and woodchip pizzas with her younger sister. 

After college, Sarah taught English in the Czech Republic for two years, then went to Regent College in Vancouver, BC for her Master’s in Christianity and the Arts, where she met Joshua. The Chestnuts have been at Southborough L’Abri since 2013. They have two children, Jacob and Lily.  Sarah loves writing poetry, gardening, and making sourdough bread. She also loves the stone walls of New England, the walking trails near L’Abri, and Indian food. 

Autumn used to be her favorite season, but after five winters in Southborough, now it’s Spring. Sarah makes pizza for family pizza night every week—not with sawdust and woodchips.
