Life is filled with one new season after another. How do we adapt when the ground beneath our feet begins to shift? What does faith in God look like when there is a new season right in front of us? This week's episode explores how Abram had faith in time like that.

What does it really mean to be a community? Relationships are key, but so are other things. Unity, vision, and grace are also part of what makes a community work. This week we explore how healthy, vital communities function best when they proclaim God's good news and make disciples.

When folks think of being a Christian, we are used to hearing terms like "believer" or “follower." Those titles are certainly true! One of the most essential titles for Christians is "children", namely children of God. This week explore the importance and the requirements of being a child of God. Promises will abound!

"Peace and Love" is a popular slogan as it has been since the 1960s. What began as a protest slogan has now become an aspiration for just about everyone. Who does not want peace and love? When we read some of Jesus' last words to his friends before his death and resurrection, we hear something just a little different. We learn from Jesus that true peace is impossible without love. This week we exp...

One of the great marks of the church of Jesus Christ is unity. Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane that "we might be one." Paul prays for the church in Corinth the very same things. What does it look like when a church has unity together? Does everyone think and act the same? This week explore how we can heed Jesus' exhortation to be ONE.

It is not easy being a Christian witness in the 21st century. When Christians hear how the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Day of Pentecost, there is joy mixed with a little trepidation. How can Christians live with a renewed sense of God's grace and power in our confusing world? This week, we explore how the disciples bore witness to the living Lord Jesus in a troubled and confusing time.

Many non-believers assume that all Christians think and live in a similar way. With national headlines captured by fundamentalist Christians who are convinced that the USA is God's divine agent in the world, the landscape becomes confusing to say the least. This week's episode highlights Jesus' encounter with the state. From Him, we might just learn how we are to witness a vital faith in a Kingdom...

Anti-Semitism has plagued this world for centuries. At the heart of it is a twisted expression of Christianity which has largely forgotten the exhortation of the Apostle Paul. Judaism is the mother faith of Christianity. Not only is Paul Jewish, but so are all the disciples and Jesus himself. This week we explore our complicated relationship with our Jewish friends and how we might live with more...

DEI, three letters which stand for diversity, equity, and inclusion, have become a hot-button issue in the US over the last ten years. While political tensions boil over on these issues, we might need to see where these values are in scripture. Once we do so, then our challenge is to find ways to live them out in a way which always gives witness to the reign and rule of God in Christ Jesus.

Most people, especially outside the church, believe that Christians struggle with women in leadership. This week's episode tackles one of the hardest texts in the Christian Scripture about women. Perhaps by looking at all of what the Apostle Paul said about women rather than just this one text, we might see a liberating view of women and their leadership.

For centuries, Christians have had to face the prospect of war. Sometimes we have been the victims of war, the perpetrators of war, or just the bystanders to it.

The ever-changing world around us is constantly trying to move us from one influence to another. Trying to hold on to anything or anyone can be a real challenge. "There is always something better!", or so we are told. This week explore how holding on to Jesus is our only real hope for love and life. How can we hold on to Him when everything around us tells us not to?

Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem and commences the final week of Jesus' life before his death and resurrection. So many different groups of people were present that day.

We all agree that integrity is an important virtue in life. Integrity matters most when it is pressured in difficult situations. When Jesus faces those who have come to arrest him, he has a moment when his integrity is tested. The choice he makes in that moment will make all the difference!

These frustrations can spill over into unwanted resentment, eventual cynicism, and judgement. How can we find a new way to hold our inner conflicts with others with grace? This week, explore how to care for others...
