Different Church Podcast

Today was one of the best services we've ever had.  This was a safe space to learn about others, and how to be the most inclusive, and affirming, church possible.  We hope you love this, and please feel free to share with friends!

The 30th is Trinity Sunday...  Who knew?  Let's talk a little about it.

Have you ever heard of "Original Sin"?  What about "Original Grace?"  Today's awesome guest speaker, our very own Shannon, talks about both - and a little bit of joy.

If you know anything about us, you may know that Hannah loves to talk about the importance of mental health.  And for mental health awareness month, we decided to talk about boundaries.  Also, if you're interested, check out the financial update at the beginning.

Let's take a look at God in the feminine, and talk about moms.  

Welcome to May!  Today, Hannah talks about the Ethiopian Eunich, and what his story can teach us about inclusion, and who is allowed into The Kingdom Of God.

Everybody knows Doubting Thomas.  But what if he wasn't some unbelieving doubter, and instead he was just a human, like us, and got a bad rap?  This message, Pastor Hannah shows us that there is more to Thomas than doubt.

Honestly....  This is a really cool message.  I went over to Hannah right after she was done, and she said "Sometimes, not all th time, I feel like I nailed it.  I kinda feel like I nailed this one."  Check out some thinking an interpreting on how the early church operated, and what that means for us today.

What a great day at North Straub Park!  Hannah brings a different type of Easter message, on about mental health and hope.  Stay tuned to the end for a few songs from our band, as well as an original poem from Guianna!

Come celebrate the beginning of Holy Week with us.

This is a very special service for us.  Ecclesiastes (the most emo book) is one of Hannah's favorite books.  And it turns out Jarrett is very emo too, so he planned a mediation and song about how it's all a vapor.  Get ready to feel the sadness, and check out this message on Ecclesiastes.

Join us as Hannah takes us on a journey through Numbers that includes (gulp) snakes!

We're one!  Check out this episode where we celebrate our first birthday, and Hannah talks about feelings.

We welcome special guest and friend of Different Mikayla Simeral to a chat about human trafficking.  Does it happen in the Bay Area?  How can we spot potential victims?  What can we do to help?

Hannah talks about fear! And that one time where Jesus slept through a crazy storm, and the professional fishermen were scared.

On Valentines Day, Pastor Hannah talks about the story of Naaman, who was healed of leprosy and turned into a babyface.  

The first Sunday in February finds us celebrating Black history, AND, talking about Hannah's favorite (well it's a three way tie) book, Revelation.  This is a really great message to check out to learn about the local flavor throughout Revelation, including, eye doctors.

Join us as Hannah takes us through some verses in Deuteronomy and talks about the hard life required of prophets.  Could their example have any modern parallels?

Have you ever felt uninspired?  I sent Hannah a text on Friday to ask what she was talking about.  She said she felt uninspired.  And so she talked about that, and turns out, it felt very inspired.

Hannah always said, "One day, you'll see me up there preaching while wearing a baby."  And it finally happened!  The same day that Guianna and Peter came back from a two month trip.  You could say it was a good day.  Hannah spent some time talking about Eli and Samuel.  

It's the return of Hannah!  We've had such a fun month while she was off delivering her beautiful baby (she's perfect!) with amazing guest speakers, but it's time for the original gangster of the gospel to come back to the stage.  She talks about the (horrible mistake?) of choosing a word for 2020.  

The first Sunday of 2021 saw us ditch the sermon, and enjoy a magic show from our own Chris and Ryan Zubrick.  Thank you, SO MUCH, to Zubrick Magic for helping us kick off the new year in such a great way.  Turns out, that doesn't translate to an audio podcast so well.  So, by all means, go check them out on our YouTube channel, or on Facebook.  But if you want a podcast, we ha...

Continuing our short tour of guest speakers, we have Jason Sowell joining us.  He's been a friend of our church since the beginning, and we are happy to have him join us to talk about the gospel of doing what you can.

In our tour of amazing guest speakers, this week it is our very own Raena Boston's turn to bless us with a message.  She talked about how bringing your unique gift to the world is the best thing you can do this Christmas.

We are so thrilled to have Jamie Adair as a guest speaker!  He's been in Jarrett's life for a long time (since youth group!) and is a friend of Different.  This year he started something really cool called red phone convos.  He talks about that, and being open hearted, in this episode.
