Rainbow, Randi, and Aaron learn about daytime and nighttime creatures, then we unpack the story behind the musical "Nic at Night" which the children of UPPC performed in worship on Sunday June 2. Listen to Rainbow describe her experience in her first play as we explore a pivotal moment in the life of Nicodemus, who took a big risk when he snuck out to meet with Jesus one night...

Lisa Franklin joins Aaron and Mike in a twist on "Would You Rather?" before jumping into this week's topic: in a highlight-reel, social media culture, it's tempting to let people see only our best selves, but Moses didn't have that luxury. In his first recorded act as an adult, Moses impulsively killed someone and fled from the law. He probably had no idea that God reveals redemption through broken people.

Our summer Whitworth fellow Steffanie Kiourkas joins us on her very first day for our game and a meaningful look at what it means to put trust into action. Another courageous woman puts her trust into action and her son into the Nile River to save his life. But where is God in this moment? When God might seem absent from us, we consider how God might actually be working behind the scenes.

First-time guest Janie takes Aaron to the wire in our game, then we move into a discussion of two of the Bible's bravest, but maybe least-known heroes: two women who faithfully stood up to a tyrant and played a crucial role in saving an entire people. Moses' story begins before he's even born in a context of fear, danger, death, and of course courageous faith.

This week we explore humanity's fundamental tendency to fear "strangers," that is, people different from ourselves. Jenn, Aaron, and Mike discuss how our hospitality to strangers leads us to an encounter with Jesus himself. Oh, and we also talk about baby animals.

Pastor Matt Canlis of the renowned documentary Godspeed joins Mike and Aaron on this bonus episode!  UPPC did an 8-week teaching series also called "Godspeed" (as well as a series of podcast episodes) based on Matt and Julie's excellent film and narrative of what God taught them during their time serving two parishes in Scotland.  In this brief bonus episode, we explore together the implications of "Godspeed" in America, and ways to rethink the time and place in which God has placed us.
