This week we listen to a conversation between Bono and Eugene Peterson, translator of the Message. We also consider two songs, Yahweh and 40. One is a Psalm and the other a modern day psalm.

This week we continue our look at the music of the Irish Rock Band U2. We consider Sunday Bloody Sunday as a Psalm of Lament and Where the Streets Have no Name as giving voice to our greatest desire, Jesus.

This week we begin a six part series looking at the music of the Band U2 and its faith implications.

Today we hear the Christmas story, its familiar and treasured. But maybe its too familiar and maybe we're missing some of what this is really about. Listen in to find out more!

In today's episode we hear a fantastic story of John the Baptist in his shocking appearance in the wilderness...only its not so shocking when viewed through the eyes of faith. We can't see this on our own; instead its handed down to us. Listen in to find out more!

In this episode we consider the crucifixion of Jesus in preparation for Christ the King Sunday.

Today we hear the story of the rich fool who brings down his barns to put up larger ones. What does this story have to say to us today in the complexity of our lives? Listen in to find out!

At the NC Synod's 2022 Gathering Bishop Tim Smith issued a challenge to the 197 congregations in our Synod that 70% would become involved in the work of Refugee Resettlement through Lutheran Services of the Carolinas. 

As a Fundraiser through Good Shepherd Lutheran Church for the LSC Be The Light Campaign to Resettle Refugees, I will be riding my bike to and from work Monday - Friday for the week of June 27th - July 1st. A one way trip is 19 miles multiplied by the 10 legs is 190 miles! Would you pledge to support the vital, Biblical work of welcoming refugees? If so, please prayerfully consider a per mile pledge (for example, .50 cents a mile comes out to a donation of $95). Or you can give a one time gift for the whole ride.
