  • 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.

  • No Pretending with Jessie Connor

    No Pretending with Jessie Connor
    Oct 15 2024
    By Rev. Jessie Connor's own admission, the topic of her last sermon makes her cringe. "Piety" is not a positive word for her, bringing up images of people who pretend to be better than others. And yet, being pious is a core United Methodist value. Pastor Jessie helps us see that piety really just means "living together in loving community," something we all want. So how do we live together in love? It's not about showy-offy behaviors; it's about personal reflection and quiet growth, bumping along together, and buoying each other through life. Join our conversation, where Pastor Jessie shows us that loving community involves pitching old couches, releasing control over the mic, and learning to roller skate.

  • Finding More with Austin Adkinson

    Finding More with Austin Adkinson
    Oct 9 2024
    This week I talk with Rev. Austin Adkinson from Light of the Hill United Methodist Church in Puyallup, Washington. Jesus tells his followers that if your hand or foot is causing you to sin, cut it off. What? This is not a recommendation for hasty amputations, but instead an encouragement to go beyond your first reaction to things, to be more thoughtful, deliberate, and wise about your attitudes and actions. In our world of hot takes and comment section take downs, it would be great if we could move past our worst thoughts so that our best thoughts are what guide us.

  • Amplifying the Migrant Story with Jen Stuart

    Amplifying the Migrant Story with Jen Stuart
    Oct 1 2024
    Rev. Jen Stuart spent a week in an Immigration Immersion program on the US/Mexico border in Arizona. Now that she's home with her congregation in Bend, Oregon, she's lifting up the stories of the people she met. Jen reminds us that almost every story in our Scripture is about human migration. God has to constantly remind people to welcome the stranger among them. How do the stories of immigrants shape our policies and our faith?
