On a weekend in which we celebrate freedom and justice, we can look back at Scripture and see how God has guided humanity towards this from the very beginning.

Some of us are uncomfortable with the word “prophet.” But prophets are not people who have power, but people who rely on the message of God. We need to be able to rely on that message the same way.

Our call is to be a place of refuge from the brokenness of this world. God has given us gifts to share in community together. Because it is not a place that is the presence of God, it is in a community together in which we see God.

On Father’s Day, Ken looks at the way God loves us, and the way he’s finding he doesn’t measure up.

As he looks at the period where the Israelites built the temple; Ken speaks about worship, and the false dichotomy of the old and the new. We make the old and the new our idols, and we lose sight of the whole purpose.

As we exit the pandemic, there are many of us who are ready just to forget what happened and move on. But this is a powerful moment we should not let pass by: how do we step forward well and allow God to take the lead?

In Joshua, the people of Israel are leaving the wilderness and entering a new land. As God pulled back the waters of the Jordan to allow them to cross, Joshua had the people get stones to build an altar to remember that crossing. Joshua is calling on them, in that moment of transition, to rely on God’s power, on God’s faithfulness.

Ken digs into Jesus' words in Matthew 22 to show us that we just need to be a part of what God is doing in this world.

As we embody the love of God, the more we find hope.

It is Donyale’s last podcast, and the group talks about the year of ministry that followed George Floyd’s death – the way their approach to ministry changed, and the need to be a church calling for justice. It’s a reconsideration of faith in politics, and call for faith in politics.

Ken gets glasses to deal with eye strain and, as glasses do, they give him a little clarity.

When Paul writes the Book of Romans, he's writing about the clarity he’s found.

Paul is all about the Spirit. He believed that the central pursuit of the Christian life was living from the Spirit of God. Just knowing the law is not enough, we must commune with God.
