  • 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.

  • Hope Beyond Despair with Steve Garnaas-Holmes

    Hope Beyond Despair with Steve Garnaas-Holmes
    Nov 19 2024
    Not all heroes wear capes, and not all preachers use pulpits. Some use newsletters and websites, like Pastor Steve Garnaas-Holmes. Pastor Steve writes spiritual poetry for his flock, 7,000 people from all around the country and world. On the morning after the US presidential election, Pastor Steve sent out a poem that helped bring many back from the depths of fear and despair. A couple days later, we had a conversation about what keeps Pastor Steve from giving in to despair, what's holding everything together, and what we're called to do in these difficult days. I hope this conversation is a little thing that keeps hope alive in you. And just a note: like many of the best pastors our there, Pastor Steve uses a few fun words, a little bit of choice language. Seems appropriate.

  • Don't Be Afraid with Violet Johnicker

    Don't Be Afraid with Violet Johnicker
    Nov 5 2024
    It's election day in the United States! And we are afraid. This election has extremely high stakes, and the outcome will have significant impact on our lives. In the midst of times of fear, Jesus asks his disciples not to be afraid, not to let fear control us and take over our call to be people of love. Uh, Jesus? How do we do this? Last Sunday, Rev. Violet Johnicker reminded her congregation that, when his life was on the line, and a tense peace was about to descend into violence, Jesus told his followers, "Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid." We hope this message brings you a bit of peace and calm on a difficult day.

  • Reforming our Communities with Wilma Reyes

    Reforming our Communities with Wilma Reyes
    Nov 5 2024
    Rev. Wilma Reyes is doing a lot of new things: living in a new part of the country, pastoring three churches of different denominations, and helping people see new ways to build community. It might be human nature to divide people into insiders and outsiders, but the barrier-breaking love of Jesus asks us to choose a different way. Some leaders in our social and political landscape would like to limit whose voices are heard. Pastor Wilma, empowered by Jesus, is building a community where all voices are lifted up and heard.
