10.15.23. People laugh at Presbyterians because we say we like things “decent and in order.” We do need to loosen up. After all, there’s a lot about God in Scripture that is truly wild. This Sunday, we look at one of the wildest prophets, Ezeki

Sep 24th, 2023 22m 26s

9.24.23. In Joshua, God promises God’s people land–and God’s people murder the land’s inhabitants, divide it up, and occupy it. It was a devastating pattern replicated in the Americas–and right here in Georgia. It’s time to reimagine our spirit

9.19.23. In the book of Joshua, God seems to direct Joshua to conduct a divinely-sanctioned ethnic cleansing in order to make room for God’s people in the Promised Land. It’s one of the most chilling books in scripture. Why would we even read i

Sabbath. 6.25.23.

Jun 25th, 2023 20m 50s

6.25.23. Sabbath. Rest-taking. Let’s be honest: it’s the most brazenly ignored of the 10 Commandments. Capitalism sees no need to stop the machinery of profit-making for a day. Nor do many of us. In the lead-up to his own sabbath-taking, Rev. L

Making Disciples. 6.18.23.

Jun 18th, 2023 25m 35s

Jun 11th, 2023 25m 11s

6.11.23. Sheep or goat? That’s not even the most important question raised by the curious story Jesus tells in Matthew, chapter 25. The bigger question has to do with what you believe about the future… and how your beliefs about the future shap
