…de “Jazz Music Unit” to “Jazz: Making a Joyful Noise” (based on Psalm 150) completely changed how my students and I interacted with the art form of jazz. This new name reframed the study of jazz as something to be discovered as God’s inspiration, creation, and avenue of worship. This was a totally different invitation for students to see their learning as part of God’s story. The idea of Reframing and Renaming can be taken into any area of our wor…

God becomes the parental figure these individuals didn’t have during their childhood. In the mental model hypothesis, the opposite happens and the earthly representation of a father/mother/caregiver becomes the mental model for God as Heavenly Father (Reinert & Edwards, 2014).

Thus, the lectionary (not-so-hopefully) makes the connection between the closed ears of rebellious Jerusalem in Jeremiah 6:10 and those who scorn Jesus as an illegitimate prophet in John 7:52, instead of drawing some more hopeful connection between a plea for grace and God’s gracious respon…
