Be. - Already Ready Already 15.07.2025 12:12
Today’s episode comes to us from a parable in Luke. It’s all about being ready…for anything.

BE. - Choose Your Attitude 08.07.2025 11:49
We’ve talked about needing to be reconciled and renewed in this series so far and today, it’s all about being thankful. It might feel like there are fewer and fewer reasons to be thankful these days, but I hope we’ll see in looking at a story from one of Paul’s letters, that no matter what is swirling around us, we can find something for which to be thankful. Let me know if you agree. Thanks for...
Be. - Overdue for Renewal 01.07.2025 12:27
Let’s keep going with this series Be with another thing we’re called to be, that we don’t often take enough time to do: to be renewed and refreshed. Let’s talk about that a little bit today and see where it leads us. Thanks for listening, y’all. Like what you’re hearing? Leave a rating or a review wherever you listen.

Be. - Put It Behind You. 24.06.2025 15:31
I don’t know what Sunday was like for you, worshipping hours after news of our nation inserting itself into another violent conflict, but I often find these times to be hard and to make it difficult find or understand where God is in it all. But then, I’m reminding of where Jesus stood on issues of major disagreement and how to settle them: by seeking reconciliation. By doing the hard work of repa...
Be. - Do.Be.Do.Be.Do 17.06.2025 14:43
The world feels beyond chaotic right now and it’s had me thinking a lot about the Church, it’s role, and even some opportunities we’re missing to be who God calls us to be in moments like these. Three years ago, I left life as pastor. I don’t think I left pastoring, I just left getting paid for it and going to an office, but before I did, I led our congregation through a short series called BE ___...
Offshoot: Doubting Thomas and The Birth of the Church 10.06.2025 16:27
Welcome to God Knows Where. I’m Brett Harris. In this space between the series we wrapped up last week and what’s ahead came the Sunday when we celebrate the birth of the Church: Pentecost, so I figured I’d share my take on Pentecost. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what this thing we call Church is all about, what it’s for, and what a gathered community is supposed help us do. You know? Ea...
Jesus Was a Loser: Empathy Pains 03.06.2025 14:09
Here we are at the end of our eighth series! We’re pushing 140 episodes. Over 15,000 downloads. It’s still unbelievable. Grateful to all of you who listen. I’ve got nothing but love for you. Thanks for being here. We’re wrapping up Jesus Was A Loser today with a look at that last part of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s quote that we’ve yet to touch on: power. He said in order to celebrate Christmas correctl...

Jesus Was a Loser: Awards Season 20.05.2025 9:37

Offshoot: Dewberry Jesus 06.05.2025 12:31
We don’t have another episode of Jesus was a Loser today. Not because I don’t have one, but because last week on a walk I noticed that my favorite wild fruit was now ripe. If you’ve not had a dewberry, you should. Find a ditch along the road, and I’ll be you’ll find one. They are delicious. And in honor of finding them back again this Spring, I’m sharing a story about dewberries and how they are,...
Jesus Was a Loser: Vain Tolerance 29.04.2025 12:58
We’re back with another episode in our series “Jesus was a Loser.” We’re still working our way back through the Bonhoeffer quote that inspired much of this series and today it’s all about vanity.

Jesus Was a Loser: Practicing Confidence 22.04.2025 10:49
Hope you had a great Easter. Here we are with another episode of Jesus was a Loser. We’re working our way back through the Bonhoeffer quote that inspired much of this series and today we get to where we have to lay down all arrogance to follow Jesus’ way. Seems pretty straightforward, but for me I’ve always misunderstood arrogance for something else. Something we need to make our way. Maybe it’s s...

REPLAY: Divine Comedy 01.04.2025 17:16
Today's episode, "Divine Comedy," is a replay from our first series, "I Didn't Say That."

Offshoot: Stuck in the Clouds 25.03.2025 22:15
Hey y'all. Another week. More home improvement and kids home from school and well, some cloudy vision I've got to heal up, so here is the audio from a sermon I preached a few weeks ago on Transfiguration Sunday. It's a sermon where instead of paying attention to the bright lights I got stuck in the cloud that swept up Peter, James, and John with Jesus. Hope you enjoy! I'm shar...
REPLAY: This Story Has Legs 18.03.2025 14:47
Funny enough, here's the episode from this time last year...posted for very similar reasons. Spring Break and renovations at the house got the best of me this week, but this story about Moses and a snake feels appropriate especially with it being the week of St. Patrick's Day and the legend of his driving snakes out of Ireland... Y'all enjoy and we'll be back soon! Support The...
Offshoot: Cliffhanger 11.03.2025 14:13
I was honored to get the chance to fill in for a friend the past two weeks and while it’s not technically a new episode of Jesus Was a Loser, I think my sermon from this past Sunday, the first Sunday in Lent, is at adjacent to the topic. So I’m sharing it with you here today. It’s based on the story of Jesus being tested in the wilderness. Hope you enjoy. * Support The Show! Scripture Reference...

Jesus Was a Loser: Crush Course 18.02.2025 11:07
Hope everyone who celebrates had a wonderful time with your Valentine this weekend but I gotta tell you today’s episode is going to go in a different direction about love because as far as I can tell, Jesus never had a Valentine. And he was just fine with it. Love, at least how we often think about it, was yet another thing Jesus never found. Let’s keep on exploring all the things Jesus lacked or...
Jesus Was a Loser: Work Call 11.02.2025 11:11
Back with more of “Jesus Was a Loser” today and looking at two things Jesus didn’t have that would make a lot of us call him a loser. No job. No money. But he was a carpenter, wasn’t he? We’ll get into that... Let me know what you think. I’ve heard from more than one of you that there’s been trouble contributing to God Knows Where, so if that’s the case let me know and we’ll get it sorted out! *...
