In the Fields episodes

  • GUEST SERMON: the Leavening of Grace feat. Oliver Hartner
    Oliver Hartner - environmental activist, writer, and veteran - preaches from his soul, telling personal stories of growing up in the prejudices of the deep South, even in the church, but how that same church and the Eucharist gradually transformed him. He explains his understanding of Jesus's teaching about his body and blood, emphasizing the sacrament's importance in recognizing God's presence in all creation, combating evil, and awakening love within us. Ultimately, Oliver bids us to see God's presence everywhere and rely on the Eucharist as spiritual nourishment in our battles against the evils we face.

  • GUEST SERMON: Bread for the Spirit feat. lay preacher Christi Mahon
    Christi Mahon joins our lay preaching series this week. Her sermon braids together stories of her love of bread throughout her life but also its complicated position within diet culture, even though it has been the sustaining lifeforce since the ancient generations. We often substitue a million other things in search of what gives us life, but in Jesus we find all that is essential, first, and sustaining. This sermon will nourish your soul.
