This Embodiment Sunday, we will engage the practice of the Prayer of Examen as a way of creating space to honor the complexity of the 4th of July weekend.

As the season shift and many of us turn toward spring cleaning, this episode invites you to go deeper into a spiritual tending of the spaces we call home.

This practice is great for individuals, families, or roommates!

Rooted in the vision of Jeremiah 29:7, this Sunday we reflect on the call to seek the well-being of our city and how that work is deeply connected to our own flourishing.

In a world that still knows grief, uncertainty, and longing, Easter reminds us that resurrection often meets us in the places of sorrow and surprise. In John 20:1-18, we find Mary standing at the tomb, weeping, only to discover that Jesus is not absent, but alive and calling her by name. Easter invites us to open ourselves to the hope that God is still bringing new life out of what feels lost, and...

Good Friday asked us not to rush to resurrection, but to sit with death. In this reflection, we are invited to remain at the foot of the cross, to face mortality, honestly, without skipping a head to Easter morning. Drawing from John’s account of Jesus‘s death, this episode names Good Friday as a place where we learn to live by learning how to face death.

On Maundy Thursday, we stand at the threshold of departure. This brief reflection invites listeners into the mystery of leaving, traveling light, speaking love now, and trusting that God is with us.

In a world that feels heavy, we remember that Jesus meets us in the middle of it all: joy, confusion, suffering, and hope. Palm Sunday invites us to slow down and enter a story bigger than our current moment, and yet profoundly relevant to it.

In this sermon for the Fourth Sunday of Lent, we explore how these words were subversive in their original context—and how they still challenge us today.

Instead, encourage each other, especially as you see the day drawing near.

Together, we will define flourishing, name the internal and external barriers that hold us back, and discover practical w...
