Grieve with Abandonment… but Not Without Hope Nov 28, 2023

Show notes

"On this day and the days that follow, may we more fully become a community that does not join the world in fearing death and silencing grief … but embracing both death and grief as the gateway to healing and wholeness.

On this day and the days that follow may we hold each other in trusting or even trying to trust that far from hiding our tears, we can shout them and scream them because though our tears are a powerful word, they will never be the last word.

On this day and the days that follow, may we be people less of comfortable certainty than we are of awe and wonder. May we find love without possessiveness and life without fear of loss.

May we leave the cage behind and together dive into the fog."

What Grips You? Nov 08, 2023

Show notes

"Is our relationship with the wealth you have more about fear or more about joy? If you are experiencing any sort of poverty, what a difference would it make to be freed from that burden? Actually to "not be anxious about your life, what you all will eat or what you all will drink, or about your body, what you all will wear." And if you are among those of us who are not, what a joy would it be to be a part of freeing each other from that? For all of us, whether what has us in our grip is wealth or debt, fear or anxiety, what would it be like to let go of that so we can embrace the God who is love and let that God who is love embrace and provide for us through one another?"

The Land Is the Land Oct 17, 2023

Show notes

"What is revolutionary about Jesus … and what we as the Church are most afraid to preach because it is what got Jesus on the cross … is the truth that tribal elder imparted to me that evening and of which the indigenous peoples in our midst have been waiting for centuries for us to understand.

The Land is the Land. There is no theirs or ours, yours or mine. The Land is always the Land."

The Cornerstone Oct 11, 2023

Show notes

"While we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone of this building today and while we will spend this year of commemoration, reflection and celebration telling wonderful and sometimes painful stories … what has made this space sacred and what continues to make this space sacred has nothing to do with the bricks and mortar and glass. It's us. And a hundred years of people like us – sanctifying this space with our struggle. Sanctifying the space with our truths … even and especially when they might not agree. Sanctifying this space with our laughter and our tears. With our triumphs and our failures. With our living and with our dying."

Finding the One Sep 19, 2023

Show notes

"In one of the most destabilizing times in our history as a church, when that destabilization is driving so many to the poles of fundamentalism … both liberal and conservative … we are here trying to do what to the rest of the world is increasingly bizarre. Lean into nuance and complexity, weakness and vulnerability, grace and humanity. We are trying to look at those the world would have us other and instead of saying "what is wrong with you" ask "what happened to you" … all the while … and this is the really hard part …trying to be as honest as we can about what has happened to each and all of us … and not to let our own internal Greek choruses of "what is wrong with you" grip us in fear and self-doubt."
