This week, we share a Soundings Seminar from 2021 featuring a conversation Bill Haley has with Vesna Tift, a survivor of the Yugoslav Civil War, to learn from her experience of working as a reconciler between estranged people groups throughout the conflict. Her powerful story of faith, endurance, and hope in the midst of trying times has something of value for all of us in our own contexts.

This week, we share a shorter “Space for God” Bill Haley offered just before a major election in the United States. There are many seasons of life during which it is appropriate and even encouraged to bring our requests before God, and Bill guides us into a helpful vision and practice of petitionary prayer that keeps God’s goodness and sovereignty at the center.

This was originally offered as part of a larger collection of resources for folks trying to think and live Christianly amidst our polarized political landscape. Explore that Collection Here

This week, we share a “Space for God” offered by Marissa Salgado (Programs Director at Casa Chirilagua in Alexandria, VA). Marissa explores the deep truths contained in John 15’s image of Jesus as the vine and us as the branches, and she guides us through a moving imaginative prayer exercise on the passage.

This week, we share a sermon preached by Bill Haley back in 2007 on Luke 4 and the radical, polarizing start to Jesus’ ministry in Nazareth. Through Bill’s unpacking of this powerful scene, we hope you will encounter again or for the first time the wonder and beauty and challenge of Jesus.

This week, we are excited to share a Soundings Seminar from 2017 on a topic that is still all-too relevant today—The Discipleship of Peacemaking. Bill Haley is joined by the Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Telos Group, Todd Deatherage; together, they reflect on both the practical and spiritual dynamics of building and sustaining peace in our modern world, with a particular focus on the still-ongoing conflict in Israel/Palestine. Our world needs more followers of Jesus committed to building peace wherever they are, and we hope you are blessed and enriched by this conversation.

This week, we share a sermon Bill Haley offered back in 2015 on Philippians 3:7-16. Bill introduces us to the powerful life of Gordon Cosby, who NPR called “the most influential pastor you’ve never heard of.” Then Bill explores how Paul taught about the challenge, beauty, and necessity of growth towards spiritual maturity.

If you are blessed by this sermon, you may also want to check out Episode 30, in which Bill offers another reflection on maturity, this time through the lens of Hebrews 6.

As we step out of summer and into fall, we are excited to share our very first “Space for God” reflection, offered by Bill Haley all the way back in September 2020.   Bill guides us through the story of Jesus walking on the water in Matthew 14; he invites us to reflect on the anxieties we are carrying as we start a new season and to experience how Jesus speaks words of comfort and healing directly to those anxieties.

We have now gathered online for half an hour of prayerful "Space for God" for over 100 weeks! You can explore the whole archive of recordings and learn how to join us next Tuesday morning HERE.

To mark the start of the school year, we are thrilled to share this Soundings Seminar conversation from 2021 with a terrific panel of educators— Carla Mueller, Abri Nelson May, and Squire Newsome. Guided by co-moderators Karla Petty (of Coracle) and Erica Adams (of Redemptive Education), the panel dives into the dynamic, sometimes surprising interplay between their work lives as teachers and school administrators and their spiritual lives. The conversation ranges from the joys of teaching to the challenges of education during a pandemic, and much more. If you are an educator, parent, or student, we hope this will be an encouragement and a blessing to you!
