This fifth episode completes the “Grounded” series. Pastors Amanda and Kris discuss the Parable of the Mustard Seed, from Matthew 13:31-32. This tiny seed grows into a wild bush, reminding us that God shows up in unexpected places. There is a connectedness to all God’s creation, calling us to care and compassion. You are invited to try activities and engage your senses with spiritual practices.

This fourth episode considers the story of Ezekiel’s vision of “The Valley of Dry Bones” as an opportunity to overcome despair with hope. Pastors Amanda and Kris share reflections on the relevance of these ancient words for today. As people of hope, we can tell a different story from the one that denies the pain in the world. We can work together to make a better future. You are invited to try activities and engage your senses with spiritual practices.

This third episode considers the story of Moses’ experience with the burning bush. Pastors Amanda and Kris share their call stories and affirm that we all have a call to ministry. God is always with us, empowers the church, and fans the flames of courage. You are invited to try activities and engage your senses with spiritual practices.

In the second episode of the “Grounded” series, we discuss water. The scripture story is about the Samaritan Woman at the Well (John 4: 5-30). You are invited to try activities and sensory practice to engage your spirit.

In this first “official” episode, Pastors Amanda and Kris discuss the Parable of the Sower, from Matthew 13:1-9.

You are invited to try activities and engage your senses with spiritual practices.
