  • TRP Podcast. It's Advent, so Let's Have a Little Chat about the End of the World
    It's Advent, people. And you know what that means ...
    The lectionary assigns some pretty weird, very non-Christmasy Bible stories, like this week's text from Luke 21. This text has *everything: signs in the sun, moon, and stars; people fainting from fear and foreboding; the powers of heavens shaking; the Son of Man coming on the clouds/peeking through the bookshelf (a la "Interstellar").
    Get some eggnog for this one!
    Hosts: Josh James (pastor) and Tessa Stultz (content machine)

  • TRP Podcast. Anderson Collin Denton Talks about Irony, Insurrection, and Goat Skin Bibles
    This week, we were graced with the presence of one, Anderson Collin (not to be confused with "Tyler") Denton, TRP's new worship leader/sometimes preacher. Since you don't know him, we try to get you caught up to speed on what this North Carolinian is all about, and we talk about Jesus and other related things.

  • TRP Podcast. On Tragedies, Saying "I Don't Know," and Avoiding BS Pop Spirituality
    We have a special guest on the pod this week ... our very own, Associate Pastor, Suzi Peterson, who happened to handle the preaching duties at TRP on Sunday. As you'll hear, she went rogue, because sometimes the passages from the lectionary ain't cutting it. In the life of any church (and any minister), forcing yourself to preach something that won't connect can be tough ... so Suzi, wisely, scrapped it.
    We talk about why, and why more people don't take a similar route, and how being vulnerable can be good medicine for the preacher and the congregation alike.

  • TRP Podcast. Preacher Sneakers, Religious Institutions, the Vulnerable, and Turning the Gem
    Our text on the pod this week is sort of a two-parter. First, Jesus rails against the religious leaders for their self-aggrandizement and for preying on the vulnerable. (This opens up all sorts of discussion about cool clothes, sneakers, and the ever popular, "long prayers.") And then, in the next section, Jesus observes a vulnerable person—a widow—participating in the very thing he's been railing against. More specifically, this person gives everything she has to the Temple treasury.
    So ... is she an object for our emulation? Or is she is a symbol of the priests' deceitful practices? And what about religious institutions now? Do they still take advantage of people? (Spoiler: Yes. Yes, they do.)

  • TRP Podcast. Torn Temple Veils, Run-of-the-Mill Zombies, and Saying Stuff Didn't Really Happen
    Things are getting *spooky* on the pod this week as Josh and Tessa chat about a really weird passage in Matthew's Gospel (Matthew 27:51-54). The real question is—what's spookier, zombies in the New Testament or something in the Bible not being historical?!

  • TRP Podcast. Jesus in New Balances, Barry Bonds' Earring, and Living Differently
    This week, Josh and Tessa are talking about Mark 10.32-45. Jesus predicts his death (again ...) and the disciples don't get it (again ...). In fact, two of the twelve have a little side chat about sitting on Jesus' left and right when he "enters his glory" in Jerusalem.
    Naturally, this provides an opportunity for all sorts of ridiculous banter.
    Be blessed.

  • TRP Podcast. On Rich People, 1st C. Jewish Sayings, and Abstinence-Only Skit Troupes
    Ok. So it's been a while since we've uploaded a sermon. (Many apologies.)
    Part of the reason for that is ... we have been having more conversations lately than normal "sermons." And it's hard to capture the magic of what happens on a Sunday night conversation.
    So here's what we are doing. We are going to try a long form, podcast style "sermon," which will basically be a Bible nerdfest (and other related conversations).
    Let us know what you think!

  • Who You Say I Am. Live from Beer + Hymns (Hillsong Cover)
    This was so long ago, I'm not sure who was playing.
    Tessa Stultz was singing. Bethany Jubilee was on the violin. And some other really talented folks were playing music.
