  Episode 503: Greatest Church Hurdles, Part One--Christian Nationalism

  Sep 29, 202622 min

  In a new series for this fall, we'll be exploring some of the biggest issues and challenges that we see as hurdles for the church in the 21st century. In this first episode, we'll explore the challenge of "Christian nationalism," including what it even means, how we can love our country as Christians without building religious empires or theocracies, and why it can be so tempting to wed Christianity to political power. Join us for an important conversation about a real issue in our lives today!

  Episode 502: Worship Q &A, Part Seven--Online Worship

  Sep 22, 202634 min

  In the midst of the COVID pandemic, many churches scrambled to offer an online way of staying connected to the congregations for worship, often with whatever resources, skills, and technology they had. In the wake of that experience, many congregations are still continuing to offer online streaming versions of their Sunday services, even though the immediate needs of a pandemic are no longer pressing. So in this post-COVID world, what is the purpose of online worship, how does it work, what are its limits, and how do we still speak of the need for gathering in person with one another as God's people? Join us for this concluding episode of our Worship Matters Q & A series!

  Episode 501: Worship Q & A, Part Six--Purpose of Worship

  Sep 15, 202622 min

  So many things feel like they have changed in recent decades about our common public life: we don't read newspapers like we used to, watch movies and television as earlier generations did. Many people have online components to their work or schooling, and even many friendships are made online rather in in person. In the midst of all that change, what is worship for in the 21st century? Has it changed from earlier eras? Is it the same for all times? Why do Christians keep gathering, and what do we think is happening when we do?

  Episode 500: Worship Q & A, Part Five--Naming Current Events

  Sep 8, 202633 min

  Can you believe it? It's our 500th episode of Crazy Faith Talk! For this week's episode, we're continuing our series looking at big questions on worship matters, and this week, we're exploring the question, "How do you (or should you) address current events in the world in congregational worship?" When a disaster strikes on Saturday and everyone has heard the news by Sunday morning, does it affect our sermon? Show up in our prayers? Change the direction of what we sing or say or hear? And for more complex situations, do we need to have answers right away, or should we take the time to "preach from our scars, rather than from our wounds" as the saying goes? All these questions are up for discussion in this week's episode of Crazy Faith Talk!

  Episode 499: Worship Q & A, Part Four--Authentic and Multicultural

  Sep 1, 202633 min

  The church is a community that includes people of all nations, languages, and cultures across time and space, and so our worship will include songs, prayers, and ways of speaking that come from many places and cultures. At the same time, in any given congregation, we always have limits to how well we can sing in another language, or musical style, or tradition. So how do we hold these two together at once? How can our worship be both authentic to OUR time and place while also being connected to the many cultures, languages, and approaches of Christians all over the world?
