It's another Monday, which means an episode of Hope and Healing. This week we get a special devotional thought from Pastor Paul Kong. Enjoy!

Today we connect with Dr. Ruben Rivera! Even in the midst of such challenging circumstances, Dr. Rivera reminds us to stay hopeful. We also learn a bit about home life for he and his wife. Enjoy!

In episode 5 of The New Abnormal we talk about Space, physical space, thin space, and Sabbath space. What does it mean to Sabbath in this season and what might we need to change in order to practice this rhythm well?

This week has been a particularly challenging and difficult week for many dear friends and colleagues at Bethel. We are in the midst of learning about the loss of a number of faculty positions as Bethel continues to adjust to the shifts in higher education. Our thoughts and prayers are with those whose lives have been forever altered by these decisions. Pastor Laurel Bunker connected with us to talk about these challenging days.

Today we connect with coach Andrew Rock. We talk about connecting with students and how his athletes are helping one another in this season. Enjoy!

Today on Beyond the Brick: Student Stories, Pastor Matt Runion connects with Moses Owen. Enjoy!

Welcome to Tuesday! Today we catch-up with Jenny Vang. I hope you enjoy our conversation!

Join Pastor Laurel Bunker as she starts our week by talking about how we deal with disappointment.

Another Monday edition of Bethel Today, and we get this week started by connecting with Michael Vedders. He talks about the intensity of traveling back from Africa during the initial stages of social distancing and stay-at-home orders and what it's been like for he and his family to find good rhythms in this challenging season. Enjoy!

It's Friday! Today I'm connecting with Erik Leafblad. We do a semi-deep dive (at least for this series) into Dietrich Bonhoeffer's book Life Together and how it can inform our experiences of Christ-centered community. Erik also updates us on family life and how they are learning to appreciate a break from the constant busyness of the sports calendar. Enjoy!
