Redemption HOU podcast

We live in a world of haves and have nots, big people and little people, palaces and prisons. Our human reflex is to seek security, power, prestige. But in Jesus Christ, God goes to the cross and invites us to follow—to...

Our journey through the book of Matthew has bore witness to what Jesus has done, now the Spirit takes us somewhere deeper and gives us something we can not give ourselves. This gift not only radically transforms our...

Many of us have been told that people like us can’t belong at Jesus’ table. An odd story. A gatekeeping Jesus. A Canaanite woman who wrestles with God and wins. What’s found at the center of it all is not new, but it is...

We live in a new anxious age, scarcity is real, nothing is certain, and it seems everything may be holding on by a thread. You likely feel this. Jesus doesn't offer an escape from this, but an inexhaustible gift in the...

New to our church or our channel? Start here.

Jesus refuses to let us live in the curated world we keep trying to build. He insists on the one we actually have — weeds and wheat together — which means living alongside and loving those we'd rather not. A great deal...

Jesus’ parables help us understand that we do not understand. At the edge of the lake we are drawn no by Jesus into a life beyond our comprehension and control, a life of mystery, of relationship, of story. There we...

Those called are those sent. Jesus’ call means we’ve been invited into God, which means we’ve been invited to participate in what God is up to, in the way God is up to it. This reality is not always one we would’ve...

Jesus tells us God is after one very particular group of people. In doing so fundamentalism of any kind is taken off the table. We are not a community of self-certain people. We are a community in desperate need of God.

For those of us burned by versions of Christianity which are about behavior management, culture wars, or bigger, better, brighter performances Trinity Sunday is an invitation to re-consider all of it. If we pay close...

Pentecost brings forth a radical transformation whether we are ready for it or not. The Spirit descends on all flesh and draws us into the realm be body of Jesus Christ. This forces us to reckon with the work God has...

The same God who raised Jesus from the dead is with us and we are with God. So Peter can tell a community like ours, that our suffering in this world should neither surprise us nor derail us from living into God's new...
