Music has a charming way of furthering our expression and experience of faith. In this episode, Nohemi Flores speaks from the heart and reminds us that music speaks to our hearts. Sharing his gift, Jacob Crouse presents us with an exclusive preview of a new Dunker Punks song.  The Divine presence in each of us sings God’s faithfulness. Let us respond in turn.

Together, Christian advocates from across the country raised their voices to ‘Lift Every Voice’ at this spring’s Ecumenical Advocacy Days.

It’s easy to forget the protections of citizenship, even as we readily rely on the right to profess our true allegiance to Christ. In this episode, Nate Hosler, Director of the Brethren Office of Public Witness, talks with Segma Asfaw at the World Council of Churches and Jeff Boshart with the Global Food Crisis Fund to introduce us to the vulnerable state of being without a nationality. Stateless people are legally invisible beyond the margins and without the basic human rights we take for granted. Beyond listening to their story, let us do all we can to make them known.

Green. Now that’s a boy’s color. Not as much as blue, but definitely more than yellow. But, Dylan Dell-Haro likes purple. And in this episode he colors our world with a vibrant exploration of gender.
