Pastor Tyler Kraft's sermon, "A Heart of Thanksgiving," uses the biblical story of Naomi and Ruth to illustrate the importance of family. The sermon focuses on how faithful family members can restore faith even during times of profound loss and hardship, as seen in Naomi's journey from despair to renewed hope through Ruth's unwavering devotion. Kraft emphasizes the transformative power of familial love and support, especially when facing spiritual or emotional crises.

For centuries, studying the Bible was reserved for only a specific group of people, removing access for individuals to know the Bible for themselves. Even today, sometimes we think of studying the Bible, or "hermeneutics" as something reserved for pastors, theologians, and scholars. But that isn't true.

Joe speaks with seminary professor Dr. Martin Hanna about how "theology" is something everyone can do, every day. 

We're back for our final stream of this "season" to talk about building community, especially in the absence of religion. If you liked these, let us know! We'll take a hiatus and come back with season 2.

In this episode Seth emphasizes the importance of leaders having their own personal values. Too often, leaders assume they have values and assume others know what they are, but Seth encourages listeners to take the time to evaluate and write down their core values. These values are not just statements on the wall but beliefs that influence and animate a leader's actions. A clear set of personal values serves as a foundation and filter for all of a leader's decisions and choices.

Seth shares Nelson Mandela's famous quote to highlight the impact a clear set of values can have on a leader. It is crucial for leaders to have a core set of values that are separate and distinct from the organization's values, as these beliefs shape the way they show up in the world and make decisions. So, if you haven't taken the time to evaluate your personal values or know a leader who hasn't, this episode is a must-listen. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share the podcast to help spread the message of the importance of personal values in leadership.
