We’ve all done it. We read a story convinced we know exactly how it will end and then BAM! out of nowhere comes a surprise. Suddenly, we learn that the narrator we had come to trust had actually been lying all along. Turns out that these “Unreliable Narrators” aren’t just a part of literature but are a lived experience. They present a lot of challenges, but they also invite us into deeper explorat...

If you live anywhere in the United States you’re familiar with the phrase, “In God We Trust.” It’s on our money and shows up in all sorts of strange places. In many communities there is a desire to make this phrase more visible in public spheres in an effort to regain ground that is perceived to have been taken from Christianity. But does God have any interest in us putting up signs or making publ...

DeShaun Watson, quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, recently received a 6 game suspension and fine from the league in response to allegations of sexual assaults that had been brought forward. At Beyond Sunday, we want to use this conversation to ask another question: How do we, as people of faith, respond when tragedy hits our communities? Pastor David is joined by Cassandra Nagle as they wrestl...

Arguably the most influential section of the Christian Bible is the letters of Paul. These writings have had incalculable influence on western thinking. From starting reformations, to upholding and dismantling slavery, to full participation of the LGBTQ+ community in the Christian faith, Paul’s letters have been used on all sides of all of these arguments. But is that what they were intended for?...

Either way, the Beyond Sunday team will be looking to scripture for insight into how God react...

We’re finishing out the narrative sequence in our Books of the Bible Series with the final book of the Bible: Revelation! This may simultaneously be the most misunderstood and one of the most influential biblical books. It’s not only impacted the beliefs of Christians throughout the ages, it has had significant implications on society as a whole as well. Take a listen and let us know what you thin...

In ancient Israel the people would gather for worship and likely sang in much the same way that we do today. Their songbook was what we now call The Book of Psalms. As we think about contemporary forms of worship music, how does the music we use today align with the hymns of the Bible? And how does the music we sing effect our understanding of how God is active in the world? Join Pastor David and...

If you are a woman that is connected to a church there is a good chance you have heard a Bible study about Proverbs 31, or the “Ideal Wife” as it is sometimes described.

This week, they Beyond Sunday team rethinks this concept and offers an understanding of Proverbs 31...
