The Parish Podcast

Family Pastor, Sarah Fetz, shares a brief homily on her experience of faith and baptism before celebrating the sacrament of baptism in this Sunday gathering.

The story of scarcity is deeply ingrained in us. Jesus, in his Sermon on the Mount, offers a truer counter/narrative about God’s Kingdom of abundance.

This morning we explore greed and possessions while engaging the teachings of Jesus in the Wilderness and his Sermon on the Mount. 

This podcast begins with a Lenten Practice and Prayer, and it continues with a homily from Jordan continuing on The Sermon on the Mount.

This morning Jordan teaches on the spiritual realities of wilderness, temptations, and tests. We are invited to be more deeply formed through these into way of Jesus; especially as we begin the Season of Lent this week.

This morning we conclude a deep dive on Jesus' theme of desire in the Sermon on the Mount.

Today we continue on the key theme of desire in Jesus' Sermon on the Mount and consider how our core desires can become misaligned or disfigured.

Jordan shares about the key theme of desire in Jesus' Sermon on the Mount and invites us to consider how our desires are meant to point towards the fullness of God.

Listen along for a refreshing approach to the fullness and wholeness of life with Christ. The oft complicated passage of "But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect," is meaningfully met with the hope and grace of Jesus in this morning's homily.

This morning we hear about the practice biblical hospitality from several of our House Church leaders. Specifically, the Boggs and Carrier families tell a story of a shared Keipi Dinner experience.

Today we celebrate the 12th day of Christmas and look forward to entering the Season of Epiphany. We follow the example of Magi, being led by the star, the hope, and the voice of the Spirit.

On the third Sunday of Advent, Benjamin Wills shares that Advent joy can be an invitation to become embodied healers to a wounded world.

On this second Sunday of Advent, Jill Carattini encourages The Parish to remember what God has done and to join him in waging peace in our world.

On this first Sunday of Advent, Noel encourages us to embrace our invitation to express hope.

On Christ The King Sunday, Jordan orients us towards the truest story of this age and the next.

Today we hear from Ansley Thompson as she shares a story of setting a table of peace for friends and neighbors.

At Milton North House Church on Sunday, Katherine Carrier led grown-ups and kids alike in a breath prayer exercise, ushering in the peace of Christ.

Today Eric Seidel shares encouragement on facing the anxiousness of our age in light Christ's teaching from the Sermon on the Mount.

We consider the example of Jesus laying down his interests for the sake of others as a framework for our political lives, and we remind ourselves of Christ’s unshakeable kingdom in the midst of a turbulent world.

This morning, we hear Jesus' words on the Kingdom of the Heavens. Jordan approaches the ideas of politics, allegiance, and presence in light of division.

Today we celebrate the Sacrament of Baptism, and we welcome our new Executive Pastor, Noel Bryant. Listen along for that announcement and a homily on citizenship in the Kingdom of Heaven through baptism.

This morning Patrick Borders shares a homily with The Parish, and he invites our community to reimagine the creation story and the shalom God intended for us. Patrick will also be teaching a class this fall called "Shalom, Jesus, & Politics," and you can learn more/register at parish.community/shalom

As you may recall, our community has spent most of this calendar year seeking an Executive / Associate Pastor to join our staff team. We began this process in earnest…

We continue through the Sermon on the Mount focusing on Jesus' teaching about love for enemies, forgiveness, and how to deal with revenge.

Jared Ray offers a poetic reflection on The Parish gathering on September 1st.
