- Gathered & Scattered: Memory Lane
We’re starting Gathered & Scattered, a new series about what it means to be the body of Christ, an exploration of this question that’s been gnawing at me for years:
What’s the point of church?
To figure out the point of church, we’ve got to go back to before there ever was a church, and take a look at how Jesus entered into the community where he lived. Before he ever gathered or scattered anyone on his own, it’s important to remember how he brought himself into the lives of others and see if there’s anything to take away.
I think there is. Let me know what you think.Scripture References
Matthew 3:13-17
Mark 1:9-13
Luke 2:41-52

Music for today's episode written and performed by Thomas Steinwinder17 min - Introducing "Gathered & Scattered!" (A NEW Series from God Knows Where)
As I’ve wrestled with the point of church over the past few years. I’ve kept coming back to two words:
Gather and Scatter.
That’s the point of church as far as I can, well, gather.
To come together, to remember we aren’t alone, and then to go where God leads us out in the world, maybe together, maybe apart, to take that message of community and care with us where we go.
Over and over, Jesus brings people together or finds himself invited into their conversations and communities in progress and sends them out, back to their homes or cities or off on new adventures to be and become who God’s calling them to be. He gathers and he scatters. And he does it in beautifully human and holy ways. And he always reminds folks that whether we are gathered or scattered, we belong. We aren’t alone.
I hope you’ll join me here at God Knows Where, as we look at how Jesus gathered and scattered a community that transformed lives, communities, and the world by reminding us that we belong. And how we can translate that truth into our own real life communities in the post-modern, post-truth, digitally overwhelmed 21st-century world we call home. I’m hoping this series can be more of a roadmap or outline for the qualities and characteristics and practices we can look for and cultivate in our own communities of faith, wherever we are, so we can do our best to follow Jesus’ example.
After all, isn’t that the point of church?Support The Show!

It is good to be back on the microphone with a new episode for you this week. A few days ago, I was invited to preach for my friend Mike at Ekklesia Hattiesburg, and I shared a reflection on the story of Jacob’s ladder or staircase. Whatever it was he saw that night while he slept on rock in the wilderness. Hope you enjoy!

It's been almost 4 years exactly since I last worked as a pastor...Some days it feels like it was just yesterday. Others, it feels like a lifetime ago. Either way, I'm near the anniversary of that last time I gave a sermon as a full-time pastor, and today's episode is more or less the sermon I gave that day back in 2022. Enjoy!

In between two holy moments with little children last week, I was confronted with the reality of how harsh we adults can be…and how we don’t come into the world that way. We learn to be harsh and hateful.
It reminded me of this episode, "Sin Wedge" from 2023. Enjoy!
