Fasting and feasting are ancient, sometimes confusing spiritual practices many of us have experienced at one point or another. This week, we ask: How can fasting and feasting inform our practice as Progressive Christians? Note: This recording began slightly later in the message due to a technical error. Our apologies for the inconvenience! If you're interested in joining in person, we gather every...

Jesus invites our curiosity. Through the course of his ministry recorded in Scripture, he asked 307 questions; Jesus was asked 183 questions, of which he only answered 3.

This week we conclude our series contrasting conventional and unconventional wisdom. This week we dig in to one of the most difficult of Jesus’s teachings. We all have enemies, and Jesus offers a challenging, unconventional approach to them: love. If you're interested in joining us, we gather every Sunday at 10:30AM at 4710 Charlotte Avenue, Nashville. We also have a podcast on your platform of ch...

This week we continue our series contrasting conventional and unconventional wisdom. Conventional wisdom holds that politics and religion are separate spheres, and they should never be combined. After all, Jesus did say, “Give to Caesar what to Caesar’s,” right? But what does that mean? Is it, perhaps, actually a brilliant bit of unconventional wisdom? That’s what we explore in this week’s teachin...

This week we continue our series contrasting conventional and unconventional wisdom. How many times have we heard or said, “The Bible clearly says...” followed by a statement that is assumed to be orthodox? But does the Bible clearly say anything? That’s what we’ll unpack in this teaching. If you're interested in joining us, we gather every Sunday at 10:30AM at 4710 Charlotte Avenue, Nashville. We...

This week we continue our series contrasting conventional and unconventional wisdom. When someone says, “God helps those who help themselves,” it’s rarely in the context of things going wrong. It’s actually a statement born of (unconscious) privilege. In this message we unpack that privilege and talk about a better way to think about God. If you're interested in joining us, we gather every Sunday...

This week we continue our series contrasting conventional and unconventional wisdom. People often say, “Everything happens for a reason,” a phrase which seeks to find meaning in the events of life. But is that true? Would it even be comforting if it were? Perhaps, if we look for it, there is an unconventional approach to finding meaning in the circumstances we experience. If you're interested in j...

This week we continue our new series, [Un]Conventional Wisdom, by talking about a commonly used phrase, “God doesn’t put more on us than we can handle.” Where does this phrase come from? Is this true? Or is there a more encouraging and life-giving way to see it? If you're interested in joining us, we gather every Sunday at 10:30AM at 4710 Charlotte Avenue, Nashville. We also have a podcast on your...

Conventional wisdom is a shared body of wisdom about how to live; it’s a lens and worldview that we share. It’s what “everybody knows.” Yet, sometimes conventional wisdom is, well, flat out wrong. Jesus taught and embodied an alternative wisdom - unconventional wisdom - that cut against the grain of his context (and ours!). In this first teaching, we explore an often misunderstood bit of Jesus’s t...

This week we continue thinking about the role ancient rituals play in Progressive Christianity in the 21st century. Where did baptism come from? What did it mean in its original context? Does it make sense to continue this practice today? We speak to all this and more in this teaching. If you're interested in joining us, we gather every Sunday at 10:30AM at 4710 Charlotte Avenue, Nashville. We als...

What is the place of rituals like the Eucharist in Progressive Christianity? Is it still a vital piece of our identity, or should it be left behind? In this message we discover the subversive origins of the Eucharist and imagine how it can re-shape our ongoing experience. If you're interested in joining us, we gather every Sunday at 10:30AM at 4710 Charlotte Avenue, Nashville. We also have a podca...

The largest chunk of the Christian Calendar isn’t celebrations of Easter or Advent. It’s a period referred to as “Ordinary Time.” There something about that word, “ordinary,” that sounds just so ... ordinary. Unremarkable. Forgettable. We live for the opposite, the extra-ordinary. We await and orient our lives around those moments that transcend ordinary, yet the vast amount of our lives are spent...

This week, we marked the day of Pentecost — a day to reflect on the meaning of being the Church. In this teaching, we centered on four words – Peace, Sending, Breath, and Forgiveness – that bring that meaning into focus. If you're interested in joining us, we gather every Sunday at 10:30AM at 4710 Charlotte Avenue, Nashville. We also have a podcast on your platform of choice! Follow @gracepointetn...

Peace is about: telling ourselves the truth; carving out intentional space to cultivate "shalom"; seeking to be a non-anxious presence.
