- Love and Ethics
Send us Fan Mail
with Rev. Meredith Garmon
Our commitment, as members of First Unitarian, is to "grow ethically and spiritually, serve justly, and love radically." Let's look at what the "grow ethically" part and the "love radically" part have to do with each other.Support the show
23 min - A Unitarian Easter
Send us Fan Mail
with Rev. Meredith Garmon
Sometimes we opt to ignore the Christian story and focus on fertility, eggs, bunnies, springtime, and the resurrection of life and hope. But there's something worth our attention in that story of how Jesus died, and it has nothing to do with substitutionary atonement.Support the show
30 min - How We Feel
Send us Fan Mail
with Rev. Meredith Garmon
Where do emotions come from? Understanding our emotions is a key part of self-understanding and hence of wisdom.Support the show
23 min - The Ontological, the Semantic, and the Tribal
Send us Fan Mail
with Rev. Meredith Garmon
Sometimes we have differing perspectives on what exists in reality. Sometimes, instead, our difference is in what words mean. And sometimes the disagreement isn't about either of those.

23 min - Who Are We Now?
Send us Fan Mail
with Rev. Meredith Garmon
As Unitarian Universalism grows and changes (in the midst of a wider culture also growing and changing), every generation or so we need to re-articulate our covenant to express who we are now as well as to put into the terms most salient to the current time, who we always have been.Support the show
25 min - Choose Abundance
Send us Fan Mail
with Rev. Meredith Garmon
It's easy to look at our lives and focus on scarcity, on what is in short supply. And this can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. We always have the option to choose abundance.Support the show
21 min - "Believing, Really Believing, and Talking to Your Car"
Send us Fan Mail
Why do we believe things (or act like we do) that we don't really believe? And do we always know the difference?
with Rev. Meredith GarmonSupport the show
22 min - Blessing
Send us Fan Mail
From saying "bless you" when someone sneezes to blessing a meal before we eat it, there's something important we're doing when we bless.

23 min - Merit
Send us Fan Mail
Some of the inequities in our meritocracy might be fixable. But even a perfect meritocracy would still be problematic. But what alternative might there be?
