Sojourn Grace Collective

Many of us have a visceral response when someone tells us to "just" do something: Just relax... Just let it go... Just move on. This week, Pastor Colby explores the unjustness of this word, and offers us a way to move through it.

Join Pastor Kate as she invites us to consider how we might still be living out old beliefs about God, and how this impacts our relationship to our own growth.

Listen in as Pastor Colby shares some thoughts about why life feels so hard and exhausting right now. And five helpful practices to move us out of the state of languishing.

Some days, some weeks, are harder than others. At Sojourn, we try to be aware and sensitive to those moments when we just need to pause, breath, and be together. Join co-Pastors Colby and Kate as they lead us through a series of guided mediations for when the world feels like too much.

We often can feel like the weight of the world is on our shoulders. But what if we were able to reframe that? What if we could hear the invitation from Jesus to come, rest, and take his light and easy yoke upon us?

You’re familiar with the saying, “Don’t just survive… THRIVE!” Well, Pastor Kate wonders if those two things aren’t all that separate after all. Maybe, sometimes, what we think is just surviving is actually thriving.

After 17 months of Virtual Church only (heeeey virtch church, we seeee you!), Sojo finally returned to in-person services on August 1st.

Listen in as Co-Pastors Kate and Colby share a bit about where we’ve been as a community and where we’re going.

Pastor Colby concludes his four part message on how faith communities can thrive in the context of religious diversity. In this message, he shows what a roadmap can look like for how to handle disagreements and differences of opinion. Though the concept is simple (ie, the strong defer to the weak), the process itself requires tremendous effort on all sides to ensure that everyone feels seen, heard, valued and respected.

When Paul dealt with diversity of religious beliefs in Rome, he insisted the onus was on the “strong” in faith to hold space for the “weak.” In this message, Part III, Pastor Colby finally explores what these two terms might mean, what the differences are, and how it is we shift from weak faith to strong. Don’t sleep on this series!

Last week we established the situation: faith communities will contain diversity of beliefs. This week, in Part II, Pastor Colby differentiates between diversity of doubtful matters (yay!) versus core values (not so much). Plus, depending on your posture of faith (weak or strong?) your path toward making peace will be different. This exciting three-part message explores how “It All Belongs” can make sense with regards to religious diversity within community.
