Passing the Peace

Forgiveness might not be the most popular topic, but we think you'll enjoy listening to this conversation about forgiveness!

Please enjoy this year's Christmas message! This episode features the church mice and their adventures on the Lighted Holiday Parade Float.

"Christian Nationalism" is a term that you may have heard lately. We'll talk about what it is, what it isn't, and how to recognize it!

In this podcast, we take a look at suffering: how it feels, what it's like, and ways to be with someone in pain. ****Please take a minute to read this special note from Laura: "The artist was showing his work in a museum in Mexico City. When I first saw it, I asked him why it was hung differently. He told me he created it during a very dark time in his life. I burst into to tears and left for a long, long walk. Also, I think my lack of church attendance is two-fold. One, as you spoke of, are the memories. The other is the position I find myself in of needing to reassure others that my family is OK. This is an often required and emotionally taxing task, as I find myself ministering to and comforting others so that they may feel Ok with our situation. Also, I believe there are correct words, for example, 'I am so sorry this happened to Elizabeth and your family.' Or, 'I think of Elizabeth often. I bet you miss her terribly.'

Her primary symptom is dementia. She was in a memory care unit, but is now at Marbridge Foundation in South Austin. We are so grateful for all those who help care for her, including all those wonderful church friends who have been there to care for my whole family!!"

Happy Easter! We hope you enjoy this special Easter episode.

We hope you enjoy this Christmas edition of Passing the Peace. And we also hope you enjoy the musical treat at the very end. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us to all of you.            .

This episode is great for anyone who might be going through a tough time. You'll learn about hope for the future, the experience of feeling overwhelmed, and the beauty of the serenity prayer.

We'll let the title speak for itself! ;-)

Have you ever heard of a Proverbs 31 Wife? It's a thing. In this episode, we explore how Proverbs 31 has been used (by some) as a standard for women, and we'll also explore what the text actually says.
