Jesus prays for the next generation. If we’re doing it right, that should inform our ministry at Galileo.

Jesus prayed for his food! (Thank you, captain obvious!) And we really should, too. How can we reclaim the meaning behind that practice, and combat the meaninglessness that sometimes comes with mindless habits?

How to we pray in public, without saying “jist” all the time? And without piling on empty phrases, hoping others will hear? How is a public prayer like an e-mail, with our audience CCed on our message to God?

What happens to metaphors when we overuse them? Or when they become outdated, in a new time, a new culture? How do we pray as Jesus taught us, and keep our prayers relevant, at the same time?

What I'm asking is: is God a DJ?

Would you believe us if we told you that you already pray? We promise. You might not think you're "good" at it, but we don't think it's something to be "good" at it. It's something we just do. Like breathing. And pooping.

Discernment is communal. Jesus gives us everything we need to discern together what's next. Can we finally understand what the Loaves and the Fishes mean?

"Evangelism" can be a loaded phrase. Lots of us, including our preacher for this week, have some baggage attached to it. What does it mean to be an evangelist like Jesus? On a large level, or a small level?

It's nice to think about what churches and non-profits and altruistic organizations do for justice, but sometimes it can feel like you, or me, can't do all that much. What does Jesus have to say about that? Listen and learn what the loaves and fishes mean for us, in our everyday participation with out church community.
