Unfinished Community Podcast

By Pastor Don

Do you feel like the Bible is a giant unholy mess that only makes sense to cultic crazies, obtuse academics, and people with way too much time on their hands?

December 19, 2024 Back to Basics, Episode 78: The rich shall inherit MY FIST! (Exodus 6)
Welcome to "Back to Basics," where Pastor Don and Courtney Fraley explore the Bible one story at a time - with additional Micah for effect - starting at the beginning, and working our way forward until we either get bored or run out of Bible! Tune in every week for a brief exploration of the next chapter in that thrilling and oft-misunderstood story, the Bible!

Welcome back as we dive in to the oddly clear insistence of Exodus, Chapter 6. Does God ascribe to a "both-sides" mentality? Why would God magically harden a heart when power does that so well on its own? Does this passage have anything to do with Aragorn? Check out today's episode to find out about all that and more!

October 08, 2024 SERMON: "Imagine..." (Rev. Don Van Antwerpen)
This is the sermon delivered by Rev. Don Van Antwerpen to the congregation of the Unfinished Community on October 6,, 2024.

Today's sermon is drawn from Genesis 2:18-24 and Mark 10:2-16, and involves some very deliberate re-evaluating of some of the frankly ridiculous ways in which we have interpreted the Bible over generations. Is woman meant to be subservient to man, or is she a straight-up improvement? Does God have IT training, since the divine solution to an annoying arrogance was to turn the whole man off and back on again? And what about divorce; what in God's name is up with Jesus' sudden pivot to right-wing talking points and quiverful-adjacent BS? Listen in, and find out!

June 24, 2024 Back to Basics, Episode 73: You can't hear God if you only listen to the Empire...(Exodus 3, Part 1)

Welcome back to our continuing coverage of the book of Exodus, already in progress!

Why, exactly, does the Bible kinda forget who Moses' father-in-law was? Isn't it interesting that God chooses an expression of nature for the Divine self-revelation? And does our personal revelation in God's presence automatically turn us against the Empire? Check out today's episode to find out about all that and more!
