Jesus sent out 72 followers to help spread the Good News; he instructed them on simple living as a way to quickly build trust and an audience. Jesus seems to embrace DEI - diversity, equity, and inclusion as core values for spreading his message of love. He also warns that time is running out on those who would rather annihilate their enemies than build a reign of peace. Based on Luke 10:1-11, 16-20.

What can we learn from Jesus’ healing of the man possessed by a demon? What is threatening to take away your humanity? Is it an addiction, grief, selfishness, or fear of the other? How does this play out in our communities and nations? The church’s mission is to remind people of their humanity and the need to seek peace not war. Based on Luke 8:26-39.

Someone gives you an extravagant gift. How would you thank that person? Would you care about what others think of you? In this episode we will look at the story of Mary anointing Jesus, John 12:1-8, as we talk about how to give thanks to Jesus for the gift of new life.

Do you have regrets? Do you beat yourself up over past mistakes? How do you receive and give forgiveness? In this episode we will turn to Jesus' story of the Prodigal Son, Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32 to guide our conversation.
