Coffee Hour Chat

In our world that is so divided its important to know where our beliefs come from. We explore the origins of our own beliefs and talk about how we can come together during these divisive times. Our conversation centers around the idea that beliefs come from our relationships. 

In light of the death of Ruth Bader Ginsberg and the possible new nomination of a supreme court justice we tackle the Pro-Choice/Pro-Life conversation. 

We discuss the difference between the church of the future and the future of the church...or what we like to call the incarnational church vs. the institutional church. We talk about how the pandemic has given us a glimpse into what the church of the future might look like and what it means to be an incarnation ministry. 

We discuss the conflict between thinking of Jesus as meek and mild versus Jesus as a disrupter. We deep dive into a discussion on suffering, protests, and the modes in which we bring the kin-do come. What does it look like to fight for justice in the name of Jesus? 

We continue the conversation on becoming Anti-Racist. In this episode we talk about Jesus' call to justice. We also discuss what it means to say "All lives matter" versus "Black Lives Matter" in a biblical context.

In Part II we look at concrete ways individuals and faith communities can work to be Anti-Racist. 

We talk about what White Privilege is, how it shows up in the church, and what predominately white churches can do. See Part II for practice examples of how to be Anti-Racist. 

Join us as we discuss what truth pillars the church can stand on (if there are any) and the importance of Testimony. 

We are discussing the "C" word: conversion. Does it exist in the progressive church? How might we liberate the concept from its conservative roots? Join the conversation! 

We will be back in June with more episodes!
