Tim, Tuhina, and Jason go off-lectionary to discuss Luther's theology of the cross (found in his classic moment of defense, the Heidelberg Disputation) – in other words, we're talking about calling a thing what it is. No more euphemisms. What does it mean to trust the evidence of your eyes and ears – and tell the truth about what you see and hear – in a world which sometimes encourages suspicion of both?

Jason and Rozella sit down with Pastor Joann Lee to talk about a God who loves food, a God who topples any and all rigid structures we might create, and what it means to stay awake in a world committed to keeping people asleep.

12th Sunday after the Pentecost

Luke 14:1, 7-14

Pastors Tuhina and Jason sit down with the brilliant professor Simran Jeet Singh, religion scholar and nationally-renowned author, to talk about Luke's Parable of the Rich Fool and the profound echoes found in Sikh wisdom and tradition.

8th Sunday after the Pentecost

Luke 12:13-21

The Anam Cara Three (the Revs. Tim Brown, Tuhina Rasche, and Jason Chesnut) sit down (in the same space!) to talk about resiliency, enough-edness, and how the Holy Spirit consistently shows up despite our best efforts.

Jason and Rozella Haydée White sit down with the brilliant professor, Dr. Tamisha Tyler, to talk about Mary and her sister Martha – how has this scripture been used to harm? What does it mean to be fully present with our Lord and Savior? How can we internalize that Jesus doesn't care what we do; he's interested in ***who we are***.

Sixth Sunday after the Pentecost

Luke 10:38-42

Pastors Tim and Jason sit down with the insightful and delightful Rev. Heather Bachelder to talk about how Jesus doesn't live in the binary, and our repeated attempts to hole him in or box him down do more harm than good.

3rd Sunday after the Pentecost

Luke 9:51-62

Pastors Tuhina and Jason sit down with scholar, teacher, and preacher – the Rev. Dr. Rebecca Todd Peters – to talk Pentecost Day: what does power mean and how do the disciples use it? What is the responsibility of those with power, especially in a movement led by someone who famously said, "the last shall be first, and the first shall be last"? How do we mine this story we've heard so many times for the good news in it today?

Pentecost Day

Acts 2:1-21

This episode we welcome preacher, author, and public theologian – the Rev. Kenneth Wheeler – to talk about his necessary, important book: US: the Resurrection of American Terror. What would it look like if this country dismantled its white supremacist foundations? What would be possible? And how do we faithfully live amidst this violent resurrection?

Listen in.

We sit down with the fantastic Rev. Moses Penumaka to talk about how Jesus redefines what glory means, what it looks like to lead with love, and how Judas figures into Jesus' ethic more than you might think.

Fifth Sunday of Easter

John 13:31-35

Pastor Tuhina sat down with the Rev. Dr. Theresa Thames to talk about the holy fish-fry that is the Third Sunday of Easter – the power of a good breakfast, the Gospel focus on nourishment, and how breakfast on the beach can smell like someone loves you.

Easter 3

John 21:1-19
