May 07, 2023EmergeThe new life promised to us begins by leaving behind those things that bind us in death. What does it look like for you to emerge from your grave? From the closet? From that relationship that took so much life from you? Wherever you are, you are called into new life. What will it take to shed your old skin and find the freedom to be boldly who God created you to be?...more42minPlay
April 30, 2023Trust and BelieveWho do we believe and who do we question? The story of "doubting Thomas" shows us that the truth of oppression can be believed through the revealing of our wounds. And yet Jesus follows that up blessing anyone who hasn't seen or touched the pain of others and still believes what they say about who they are and what they have been through.

April 03, 2023Protest SundayPalm fronds or protest signs? Modern re-tellings of Palm Sunday cast it like a parade, but the original march into Jerusalem had the vibe of a rowdy protest. Come hear more about the political theater Jesus employed as he squared off with the Roman Empire in the days before his death and resurrection....more30minPlay
March 30, 2023Re-Release: Living as Resistance (Palm Sunday 2019)This is a re-release of a sermon from 2019, recently featured on an episode of The Collective Table.The name "Zao" is a greek word that means "to be among the living". This sermon highlights the ways that Zao as a community joins Jesus and the tradition of Jesus followers in seeking the fullness of life.Our world is a mixture of creative, vibrant, beautiful life, alongside systems of death, destruction and oppression. At Zao, we look to Jesus and one another to fully seek life and dismantle the mechanisms of death that plague us as individuals, communities, and the world....more29minPlay
March 26, 2023Lent: Bad ApplesGod's love is subversive, powerful, and threatening to the systems of empire and oppression.

March 19, 2023Lent: Students of LoveLove is not simply a feeling or even a clear set of actions. It is an orientation to the world that changes everything. Following Jesus means studying the ways of love and letting it transform us into new beings....more41minPlay
