Tesserae episodes

  • Rest (Part One) | Tessera 12

    Today we're talking rest. In our productivity-obsessed culture, it can not only be hard to rest, it can feel wrong. But it's crucial for the Christian. So how do we build in a healthy discipline of true rest?

    Join Bob and Steve as they talk rest with Sarah Roop. 

    (This is a two-part episode. You can catch part two next week.)

  • Politically Speaking (Part 2) | Tessera 10

    We pick up where we left off from last week. Listen in as we discuss the both/and of Christian political engagement, why the 90s were the high-point of American exceptionalism, and of course, settle on the best political TV show.

  • Politically Speaking (Part 1) | Tessera 9

    Apparently, you're supposed to avoid talking religion and politics in polite company. Not today! Join us as we dive in with Dr. Michael McKoy to explore what Jesus has to say about politics, and how we can engage politics in a more redemptive way.

  • The Prophetic Voice (Side A) | Tessera 6

    We often talk about the need to be prophetic—but what is the prophetic voice? This week we talk with Dr. Andy Abernethy about the prophetic voice in the Old Testament, and what we can learn about it for our lives today.

  • The Model Minority Myth | Tessera 5

    Race talks in the U.S. tend to be relatively Black and White, but what about an Asian American perspective? Join our conversation with Ray Chang, as he shares about his own experience in the Asian American church, being Korean American, facing resurgent Anti-Asian racism in light of COVID-19, the Model Minority myth, and much more!

  • The Unexpected Gift of Lament | Tessera 4

    How do you grieve well in a culture that does what it can to avoid pain? Or when lament doesn't play a significant role in our church life?

    Lament is an unexpected mercy, a means for us to process the pain of our lives in a meaningful way. While it's not a light-hearted episode, it's necessary. Join us this week as we learn to lament together.
