It’s time to get some new “clothes.”  Who doesn’t like that? Right? But there’s a small catch... we have to wait a little bit. Just stay here and wait, Jesus says ... until you are clothed in the Holy Spirit. The reality is that we could all use an excuse to get a little rest.  It is in resting that we are able to receive the blessing of the Spirit's presence. Join hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith as they rest in the Gospel of Luke for this Ascension Sunday episode of Coffee to Go. Rest and be blessed!

We could all use a little reminding every once in a while. In the midst of chaos and hectic schedules, the call to do something uncomfortable is easily shrugged off with extremely relevant rationalizations as to why we can’t.  That’s why Jesus promised an advocate.  Unfortunately, however, the advocate of whom he spoke is not there to speak on our behalf, but rather to remind us of our call and conviction. We have been given the peace of Christ to reside in us, and that, believe it or not, is enough to get us through. Come listen in as Karin and Blake talk this one through and give us some things to think about and some things to put into action.

Systemic Racism isn’t a popular or comfortable topic, and it’s not just limited to the secular world. Unfortunately, history shows that the Church universal has not been immune to its grasp, and neither have the Restoration traditions. Join Cuppa Joe host Wendy Eaton as she sits down with Matthew Harris to talk about insights from his most recent book, Second Class Saints: Black Mormons and the Struggle for Racial Equality. Hear about the ways in which the Community of Christ and the LDS Church have made progress in areas of racial justice and some of the people who have pushed for that progress.

It is perhaps one of the easiest commandments to speak, and yet one of the hardest to put into action. We live in a world where it seems to have become easier to build walls than to sit and listen to one another... much less love one another. In many arenas, people are attempting to define diversity as a bad thing. The idea of unity in diversity, to them, seems impossible. But, Jesus reminds us to love one another, just as he loved us. Join hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith for a conversation about Jesus’ command to love. Then, spend some time thinking about how you can take down a few walls and love a little more.
