What do you expect when you visit a farm? Maybe fields with crops, or pastures with cattle, pigs, chicken and a picturesque farmer on a tractor. I visited a farm in Washington state recently. Along the shores of the Elwa River on the Olympic Penisula the Wild Edge Farm crew grows crops and raises animals in a biological and sustainable way. Every once in a while during the summer month a local church gathers on their property. They, as they say, are here to get their hands dirty. They do farm work, they pray, and on that particular day, they glorified God by making sauerkraut. In an increasingly secular world this is a peculiar way of being church. Tune in and listen to their voices to find out what Noah's ark has to do with freezer pickles. 

Perhaps one of the most captivating portrayals of emperor Nero is that of Peter Ustinov in the 1951 movie Quo Vadis. He portrays Nero as a self-absorbed psychopath who collects his tears in little bottles for posterity to behold and who fiddles like a madman while Rome burns. This portrayal is basically how modern pop culture understands Nero. The question is; is that portrayal historically correct? - Or is there more to the story of the emperor who was the first to persecute Christians on a large scale?
