A frightening day from the 1st Century and an embarrassing day from 8th grade combine to underscore our call to speak of God's way boldly.  

We all have times when we forget about things we know to be true.  This week's episode speaks of how one soft-spoken church officer changed the course of a congregation's history with a gentle reminder. 

There can be times when any of us feels as if our efforts make little-to-no-difference.  This week's episode reveals just the opposite.

A last-minute decision to stay for a lecture results in a life-changing outcome. Where is God working through the ordinary events of your day? 

As we conclude our summer-long reflection on desired character traits, we come to accepting responsibility for one's actions. A remorseful brother of long ago points the way.  

On this holiday weekend that celebrates labor in all its forms, we turn to the desired character trait of a good work ethic.  To help our pondering, this episode opens with a memory from “The Happiest Place on Earth."

As our summer-long look at desired character traits nears the end, we focus this week on respect. Scripture and Aretha Franklin point the way. 

This week's episode reflects on persistence as a desired character trait. The conversation gets framed by two stories of events occurring at a place designed for justice.  

In the Pledge of Allegiance, we speak of "liberty and justice for all." In everyday events, though, that promise quickly gets complicated to fulfill.  
Even so, it's a goal worth pursing. 
  

An act of brutality at an Orlando nightclub nine years ago. A sermon a week later that sought to make sense of it on the same day as a baptism. Together they combined for a courageous moment of integrity.
