Together 4 Good: Making Sense of Life and Faith

We continue our Epiphany series on Aha! Moments of faith. This week, Pastor Nate brings on Tyler Derrick to talk about an aha moment from his youth. Tyler is a young adult who attends Bethany’s Pub Theology gatherings and his Aha story is an interesting one that you don’t want to miss.

During the season of Epiphany, Pastor Nate will be interviewing individuals about epiphanies (or aha! moments) that people have had during their journey of faith.  This week, Bryan Jaster talks with Nate about an aha moment that took place during a high school church youth event way back when Bryan was in high school.  Listen in as Pastor Nate and Bryan discuss Bryan's epiphany and the importance of practicing faith in a community.

In this episode, Pastor Nate and Kevin Dragseth discuss the exciting new initiative launching at Bethany this month.  "Join in January" is a challenge to the congregation to find new ways to engage, participate, and share one's faith in 2023.  Nate and Kevin have a great discussion about this endeavor as well as the importance of living out one's faith in intentional ways.

This episode is a rebroadcast of an episode from March 2021. It introduces the St Ignatius Examen, a great practice to use to look back at the past year and to notice how God has been guiding and speaking.

Merry Christmas! This is a rebroadcast of a scripture meditation based on the Luke 2 Christmas Gospel. Rest and relax into the promises of this sacred story.

This special Bible Study episode is a way to conclude our Advent conversations about hope. In this episode, Pastor Nate dives deep into John 8:31-38 and talks about the ways that fear and hope can sometimes distract us from Jesus Christ and his message of grace for our lives.

This week, Pastor Nate sits down with Paula Wills.  Paula is the Director of the Sounds of Praise Choir and the Creative Arts Team Coordinator and an excellent story teller.  As we continue our Advent focus on hope, Paula takes us through several stories from her life where she encountered hope in different locations and different ways.
