Things You Should Know: Church Isn't Easy - Gloria Scott May 09, 2018

Show notes

No one is perfect, so it should come as no surprise that the Church, made up of imperfect people, is far from perfect as well. And if it's not perfect, is it even worth it? Gloria Scott certainly thinks so. She is the Director of Worship and Communications at First United Methodist Church Richardson, and joins us on the podcast this week to share real stories of stress, mishap, and even pain in her personal and professional experience with the Church. But more importantly, she reveals why she kept coming back and the reasons you should too.

Service - Eric Lindh May 02, 2018

Show notes

What does it mean to serve in the name of Jesus? If we look at Jesus' ministry, it looks less like providing for those in need from a distance and more like being in relationship with people. It looks a lot like what Project Transformation is doing in cities across the country. This week we welcome the Chief Executive Officer of Project Transformation National, Eric Lindh. He shares with us not only the meaningful work that Project Transformation is doing, but the heart behind it - and challenges each of us to consider new and bold ways of serving in the process.

Gifts - Joe Park Apr 25, 2018

Show notes

"God has already given Christians everything we need to fulfill God's plan on this earth; the challenge is getting us to steward those and manage those properly." This is just a small piece of the wisdom that Joe Park shares with us on the podcast this week. Hear the purpose behind why we are asked to give of our time, talents, and resources, as well as some practical tips on how to get started or grow deeper in generosity.

Presence - Rev. Arthur Jones Apr 18, 2018

Show notes

What happens when you have a membership to a gym that you never attend? Does the membership itself get you into shape? Or is it showing up and putting in the effort that creates real change? Presence matters - at the gym and in your spiritual life. This week we welcome Rev. Arthur Jones to talk with us about why showing up matters and the difference it can make in our lives.

Prayer - Rev. Marilyn Dickson Apr 11, 2018

Show notes

Prayer - so easy a toddler can do it, but so difficult that many adults profess they don't know how to pray. How can both be true? To answer that question and more, we welcome Rev. Marilyn Dickson to the podcast to talk with us about prayer. Marilyn is a retired United Methodist pastor, a Certified Spiritual Director, and former Adjunct Professor at Perkins School of Theology (SMU) for spiritual formation. In this conversation, she helps us understand why prayer is vitally important to our spiritual life, and where to start if we feel overwhelmed at the very idea of saying a prayer.

The Resurrection of the Body - Rev. Jonathan Grace Apr 04, 2018

Show notes

On this week following Easter, we talk about resurrection - but not in the way you would expect. Rev. Jonathan Grace joins the podcast to talk about his work with our homeless neighbors at Church at the Square, and how the promise of resurrection in Christ is available here and now. More information on Church at the Square available at http://www.hpumc.org/citysquare-church/

The Forgiveness of Sins - Rev. Jill Jackson-Sears Mar 28, 2018

Show notes

This week we remember Jesus' death on the cross, but what actually happened that day over 2000 years ago? How do we draw a line from his execution to the forgiveness of our sins? Rev. Jill Jackson-Sears brings her years of personal and ministry experience to the podcast this week to help us make those connections and understand God's love for us in new and deeper ways.

The Church - Rev. Scot Bontrager Mar 21, 2018

Show notes

What makes a church a church? And what do chickens and techno music have in common? All these answers and more on this week's episode as we speak with Rev. Scot Bontrager about his life, his ministry, and the journey that the church has been on since its inception.

The Holy Spirit - Cheryl Bishop Mar 14, 2018

Show notes

This week, we explore the topic of the Holy Spirit. This part of the Trinity can be most elusive or confusing, but we welcome Cheryl Bishop, Director of Children's Ministries at First United Methodist Church Richardson, to help us discuss the Spirit in a way that is clear and easy to understand. Listen as the conversation weaves from misconceptions about the Spirit to how and where we see evidence of the Spirit in our world today.

Jesus - Rev. Debra Hobbs Mason Mar 07, 2018

Show notes

Who is Jesus? Reverend Debra Hobbs Mason joins Julie Richter and Eric Czechowski for a conversation on the person of Jesus - his humanity, his divinity, and how his ministry over 2000 years ago still guides our lives today.
