  • Summary

  • Every week, we talk to a pastor about their last sermon. We’ll meet their congregations, hear the issues in their community, and see where the light shines in. Do you want to open a window to the human story and the sacred spirit that connects us? Every ordinary sermon, and the process that created it, can be an entry to an exploration of faith, community, trust, and hope. Join us for the conversation!


    Made possible by sponsorship from The Pacific Northwest Conference of The United Methodist Church.

  • Wilderness Training with Jenny Williams

    Wilderness Training with Jenny Williams
    Dec 18 2024
    If you feel like you're wandering in an unfamiliar and potentially threatening land, you're not alone. In Advent, we tell the story of John the Baptist, who went out to strange and wild places, on purpose, because that's where he sensed the Spirit of God doing a new thing. Rev. Jenny Williams works for the ACLU in West Virginia, and she's helping progressive Christians across the state prepare for ministry in a new wilderness. Instead of just charity work, Jenny says, it's time for people of faith to build new relationships and communities of mutual support. The only way we will make it through the wilderness is together.

  • Embodying Hope with Alissa Amestoy

    Embodying Hope with Alissa Amestoy
    Dec 13 2024
    They say experience is the best teacher. Along with a team, Rev. Alissa Amestoy is designing worship to be something not just to listen to, but to experience, a way to help people embody the stories of God's love and hope. This makes perfect sense in the season of Advent, when we tell the story of God literally embodying, well, a human body. God enters human history as a baby, showing that in God's world, hope and grace and love go way beyond what makes sense or what we can understand. We talk with Alissa about sticky feathers, creating sacred spaces, and hope on hope on hope.

  • Using Your Life Well with Clay Andrew

    Using Your Life Well with Clay Andrew
    Dec 6 2024
    In this episode, we use the S-word a lot. < Stewardship > Long time church folks might hear the S-word and think "It's time to raise money to fund the church budget." But Rev. Clay Andrew knows stewardship is actually about something far more important, exciting, hopeful, and empowering. Stewardship is about what we do with who we are. How do we use our time, our energy, our resources, our skills? Asking these questions might be uncomfortable, and might put us at odds with the forces of power in our world, but it also might fill us with God's grace and love, and bring healing to our communities.
