Zao Church Collective episodes

  • Doing New Things
    God doesn't have the future laid out like a paint-by-numbers kit. We're invited to create the new future with God, given the tools to do so, and entrusted with the kingdom.
     
    Come make a mess and be a part of the new thing that God is doing!
    34 min
  • Yes! And...
    God kicked off a creative collab with, "Let there be light," but it was never supposed to end there. Each of us was given creative gifts to iterate on what God is doing, seeing God's creation and responding not only with "Yes!" but also adding our own "and..." while remixing what God gave us into something new.
     
    Not sure you have anything to contribute? All it takes is some courage, tapping into your innate gifts, and a little improv.
    35 min
  • Another World is Possible
    Just 2 blocks down from worship, activists and students of liberation are building a new world on Falesteen Lawn, the UWM encampment for a free Palestine.
     
    What does this have to do with our God-given creativity?

    Everything.

  • Worth Doing Badly
    Anything worth doing is worth doing badly.
     
    Wait, what?
     
    So many of our creative impulses are crushed by expectations of perfection. But even God needed to experiment before declaring human beings to be "very good". So let's get creative, and follow the divine lead by doing things, sometimes badly, with all the passion and creativity we can muster.

  • You are a Creative. No, really.
    Do you feel like a creative person? Well, you are. No, really.
     
    Many of us have been alienated from our creative instincts, but each person is made in the image of our divine creator - which makes us all creators, too. Come discover what is hidden in you, and unleash a torrent of creative power in your life and in the world.
     
    Introducing Created to Create, a sermon series at Zao MKE Church from April 21st to May 19th.

  • Made (w)Holy

    Resurrection isn't just for Jesus - it's for you, me, and all of creation. So what does it look like to experience resurrection in your own life?

    40 min
  • Easter Sunday

    When you've been through hell, resurrection is right around the corner. Lucky for us, Jesus showed us the way - not only to the cross, but to new life on the other side. Come celebrate the victory of life and liberation over death, violence, and empire.

    30 min
  • Protest Sunday

    What if our most powerful breakup is with empire itself? Come hear how the first Palm Sunday was a powerful rebuke of the Roman Empire, and what we can learn from it now.

    30 min
  • The Breakup Album Track #3: Hunger

    How many of us have tried to satisfy our hunger for love with lesser substitutes? Breaking up with the life you had means getting real about what you really need - and what you need to walk away from.
