S3E9: BONUS “For Such A Time As This” with Dr. Jen Hale Christy

Sunday, April 5, 2020
PreacHer Podcast
PreacHer: Dr. Jen Hale Christy

Summary: Friends, we are living in a truly remarkable time. Never before has the future been so uncertain. And what better time to be dwelling in the book of Acts--a book which retells the exciting days and weeks and months after Jesus was raised from the dead and up into heaven. A book that excitedly shares the Good News that God has conquered every sickness and even death. Stories that portray ordinary and unlikely people being the ones to carry the message of Jesus to the ends of the Earth. These people were living in unprecedented times. The world as they knew it had been turned upside down and was no more. And they had to figure out how to move forward. How to establish new rhythms and find their new normal. May we find ourselves in these stories as we locate ourselves in God’s story.

I believe in us as humans. It’s more important than ever that we show up and do the work that is ours to do. The thing we were created for.

S3E8: “Bending Knees and Breaking Cycles” with Amy McLaughlin-Sheasby

Wednesday, April 1, 2020
PreacHer Podcast
PreacHer: Amy McLaughlin-Sheasby

Summary: When Stephen is put on trial before the council in Acts 6-7, he does not seek to defend himself. Rather, he retells Israel's history in order to expose their pattern of rejecting prophets and leaders. In a moment of radical truth-telling, Stephen beseeches the crowd to break the cycle of their ancestors, and to consecrate their hearts to God. In this sermon, I invite Stephen to challenge us, as we consider why we have rejected the prophets and truth-tellers of our time, and how we might repent.

S3E5: “Who's In Charge Here?” with Dr. Jen Hale Christy

Wednesday, March 11, 2020
PreacHer Podcast
PreacHer: Dr. Jen Hale Christy

Summary: We pick up where S3E4 left off - watching to see how the religious leaders will respond to Peter and John and the lame man. Will they accept and affirm that this is the work of God? The questions are for all of us too (especially the religious leaders among us): Will we set aside our insecurities and our defensiveness? Will we admit that we aren’t really in charge? Or will we grasp at our illusion of power? Will we reject this sign and try to silence them? (Acts 4.1-22)

S3E4: “When Business As Usual Kicks You Out” with Dr. Jen Hale Christy

Wednesday, March 4, 2020
PreacHer Podcast
PreacHer: Dr. Jen Hale Christy

Summary: (Acts 3.1-25) Peter and John heal a dude but the story isn’t *really* about that. It’s about a major upset like the Patriots *not* being in the superbowl this year. No, more major than that. It’s about getting things wrong about who’s in and who’s out. It’s about the astonishing faith of a couple of rebels in the name of Jesus that sends a man leaping and leaves some people scratching their heads and others balling their fists.

Wednesday, February 26, 2020
PreacHer Podcast
PreacHer: Dr. Jessica Knapp

Summary: In this episode we hear from a unique minister of reconciliation who is engaging in the difficult, often heart-breaking work of advocating for marginalized youth. In Jessica’s sermon, we look to the early church in search of relevance and guidance. We are challenged to think about using our gifts to build up God’s community and most importantly, we are called to build bridges and bigger tables, to spend time together regardless of our labels. Tables, not labels. We are invited to join God in God’s mission to change the world.

Wednesday, February 12, 2020
PreacHer Podcast
PreacHer: Dr. Jen Hale Christy

Summary: Have you ever wondered how the Bible came to be? I mean, before it was printed on super thin pages with shimmering edges. Before it was translated into a language you understand. Before it was ever written down. In this episode we’re kicking off season 3 with real talk about writing and language and complexities and faith. Oh, and we’re cracking open the book of Acts. Which has some funny stuff in it. Oh, you didn’t know that? Listen in, I’ll let you in on the secrets.
