Hashcast

Jason and Tuhina sit down with peacemaker, healer, and scholar, Dr. Najeeba Syeed, to talk about a whole host of topics adjacent to building the interfaith table, the difference between inter-faith and intra-faith dialogue, and what it means to recognize the pluralistic reality all around us.

Pastors Jason Chesnut, Tuhina Verma Rasche, and Tim Brown go off-lectionary to talk about the end of the world – how it's more common than you might think, how it's happened before, and what seriously reckoning with it can teach us in these anxious, rattled times.

We sit down with the Rev. Tita Valeriano in a repeat episode discussing All Saints' Day – what it means, how different people approach it, and different hooks from which to hang potential sermons.

Pastors Jason, Tuhina, and Tim sit down to talk about the high holy day in Lutheran churches the world over – Reformation Day – how reformation is indistinguishable from liberation; and how "All Panic, No Disco" is a pretty good sermon title.

Jeremiah 31:31-34

Romans 3:19-28

John 8:31-36

In a repeat episode from 2024, Pastors Tim, Tuhina, and Jason sit down to talk about the act of preaching in perilous times, and how best to approach this sacred task in today's world. Such a focus, sadly, is still too relevant.

Every once in a while, it's helpful to ditch a particular passage and, instead, take a bird's-eye view.

In a new segment on Hashcast, Pastor Jason Chesnut – with the inspiration and aid of the incomparable Tom Boomershine – takes a journey through the story of Jesus and the Ten Lepers. Listen in as we dive deep into the power and depth of the ancient practice of biblical storytelling.

Pentecost 18

Luke 17:11-19

The AC Three – Jason, Tuhina, and Tim – talk about citizenship, especially considering we live in a time when birthright citizenship is under assault. What are we called to do as citizens of the commonwealth of God? To where do we owe our allegiance? (Or to put it another way: what does it mean to follow Jesus?)

Travis West had too many good things he so graciously shared with us – and his book is so good we had lots of questions – so Jason and Tuhina's conversation with him needed a second episode.

Pastors Tuhina and Jason sit down with the thoughtful, deliberate, wise professor Travis West to talk about his striking new book – The Sabbath Way – and how Sabbath breaks all our rules around capitalism, possession, ownership, and beyond. Can we choose the Sabbath Way in a world seemingly committed to literally any other path?

Tim and Jason welcome 21st-century Renaissance man, Derrick Weston – author, filmmaker, podcaster, speaker, and educator – to talk about the parable of the lost sheep and the lost coin: how God is both a terrible shepherd and a reckless inventor, what it means to truly be a sheep (and a coin), and how, in the Beloved Community, there's no such thing as "too far gone."

14th Sunday after the Pentecost

Luke 15:1-10
