- Why Jesus? | Bob Lin & All Things New
Personal Testimony: Bob Lin
Pastor Danielle shares more personally her journey of a Jesus who continually made—and continues to make—all things new.
44 min - Why Jesus? | Kelly Gilbert & Suffer God His Grace
Personal Testimony: Kelly Gilbert
Suffering is frequently understood through pithy axioms which only turn out to be half-truths. The fuller realties as found in Jesus are far more profound and beautiful.
48 min - Why Jesus? | Siddhi Sundar & Athens and Jerusalem
Personal Testimony: Siddhi Sundar
Athens & Jerusalem are cities that respectively represent science and faith, sense and soul, the empirical and the mystical, the West and the East. Why would Jesus and Paul use and leverage Greek ideas, terms, and images in their teaching and spreading of the Gospel? Rather than contention, perhaps there is harmony.
52 min - Why Jesus? | Introduction, Rajesh Philipos, & American Religion
Personal Testimony: Rajesh Philipos
Our introduction to our series surveys the "free market" of religion in America and how it has influenced our particular context of faith expression.
46 min - Birth | Finding Hope In The DarkOne of the reasons we celebrate Christmas during the darkest time of the year is because it is here that we are the most hopeful. Let us join with our ancient ancestors in bringing forth that hope from the dark.31 min
- Birth | Not Such A Strange WayThe birth of Jesus, while unusual and strange to modern sensibilities, actually makes a lot of sense when considering the entirety of the biblical story. From the very beginning, God has been rebirthing the world, and people, out of chaos, out of injustice, toward salvation.31 min
- Birth | Mary's (Fight) SongWhile we think of joyous feelings during the holidays, Mary's song is far more subversive and declarative than we perhaps recognize. It speaks to the profound levels of meaning found in the event that we celebrate and commemorate during our Christmas season.46 min
- Deuteronomy | In The End, An InvitationHow do we come to the end of Deuteronomy, and sum up, not just this book, but the entire Torah? In the end, we see woven throughout the text an invitation to participate in this kind of life, that we would be wooed, inspired, and drawn in to carry on the legacy of our ancestors.42 min
- Deuteronomy | Choose LifeThroughout Israel's history, there's been a choice. Toward the end of Deuteronomy, there is a clarion urging, to choose life.41 min
- Ryan Eller | The Souls of America, Q&ROur question and response time with Rev. Ryan Eller after his talk.1 hr 10 min
