An Artisan Church tradition: Pentecost readings from the Bible in many languages, plus devotional reflections from several different Artisan members! Speaker: Various Part of the series “ Ordinary Time: No holidays. No feast days. Just "normal." ”

Prayer is one of the main access roads to our spiritual life, but for many it presents daily challenges.  As we prepare for the Pentecost, we dust off our prayer life in order to stay awake to the presence of God’s activity in our lives. Speaker: Pastor Jae Newman Part of the series “ Eastertide ”

When Jesus gives a new commandment, it is not complicated.  It is, however, challenging.  Calling others to love one another, Jesus reorders how we relate to others, God, and ourselves. Speaker: Pastor Jae Newman Part of the series “ Eastertide ”

Julia shares a story of what's saving her faith. Speaker: Julia Detmer Part of the series “ Work of the People (What's Saving My Faith): What's Saving My Faith ”

From the time of Jesus's earthly ministry, there have been questions about his intention and purpose in the world. We should not be surprised to find that these questions persist in our day (and into our visions of the last days), but it does leave us with a choice: which version of Jesus will shape our choices, our attitudes, and our interactions with our world? Speaker: Pastor Scott Austin Part...

Life on our High Horses leads us further and further from Jesus.  When we dismount from our strengths and live from our actual selves that’s the place where God can meet us. Speaker: Pastor Jae Newman Part of the series “ Eastertide ”

As the disciples sought to live out the Gospel in their world, they received both threats and peace. Their choice, and ours: how to respond in the way of Jesus, the “firstborn from the dead.” Speaker: Pastor Scott Austin Part of the series “ Eastertide ”

Rebecca Taylor shares her "Agents of Hope" message with us. Rebecca is a wife of 29 years, mom to four grown children, and a lifelong learner—mostly because she’s committed to not making the same mistake twice.

The oppressed Jewish minority in Rome were hopeful that Jesus would be a conquering king, but he disappointed them by submitting to his own execution. It would be easy for us to point the finger at modern believers who align with political power, but what if there is a message for those of us who wish to be saved from all that? Speaker: Pastor Scott Austin Part of the series “ Walking Toward the G...

Where can we find hope when we feel vulnerable to events, both global and private, that sap our strength?  Tapping into the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Church in Philippi, we’ll investigate, together, how to move forward in difficult seasons.  Speaker: Pastor Jae Newman Part of the series “ Walking Toward the Garden ”

Once again, this time in one of his most famous parables, Jesus disrupts our expectation of judgment, punishment, and consequences. Speaker: Pastor Scott Austin Part of the series “ Walking Toward the Garden ”

There are those who believe that every unfortunate event is the result of a particular sin. While there are passages in scripture that might tempt us toward that belief, Jesus explicitly rejects it—and offers a beautiful alternative vision of the role our actions play in our circumstances. Speaker: Pastor Scott Austin Part of the series “ Walking Toward the Garden ”

Pastor Jae concludes the series and explores an alternative route to rethinking how we deal, collectively, with the inevitability of darkness around and within us. Speaker: Pastor Jae Newman Part of the series “ Learning to Walk in the Dark: Artisan Winter Read 2025 ”

Before we conclude our overview of Learning to Walk in the Dark , we pause to check in as a community. What has resonated with us? What questions do we have? How has our perception of darkness changed, and what will we do with it? Speaker: Pastor Scott Austin Part of the series “ Learning to Walk in the Dark: Artisan Winter Read 2025 ”

Many of us rely heavily on our sense of sight to inform our sense of truth.  Pastor Jae explores how allowing our other senses to inform our self-reflection can help us to find more rest and make more gains toward our own shalom. Speaker: Pastor Jae Newman Part of the series “ Learning to Walk in the Dark: Artisan Winter Read 2025 ”

Sometimes, the darkness is an emptiness, an absence, that threatens to consume us. Where is God when we perceive nothing at all? Speaker: Pastor Scott Austin Part of the series “ Learning to Walk in the Dark: Artisan Winter Read 2025 ”

How can we bring the wholeness of our emotional being to God? In what ways does our "darkness" reveal what is true and holy? Speaker: Pastor Scott Austin Part of the series “ Learning to Walk in the Dark: Artisan Winter Read 2025 ”

One of the great mysteries of our faith is that it is lived out and shared through particular people and people groups but is available to and intended for ALL people. How can it be true that we receive and pass on a universal salvation while still being a set apart, holy people? Talk about awe-inspiring! Speaker: Pastor Scott Austin Part of the series “ Immersed in Awe: An Advent Sereis ”
