Does the Bible Clearly Say Anything? | [Un]Conventional Wisdom
This week, we continue our series contrasting conventional and unconventional wisdom. How many times have we heard or said “the Bible clearly says” followed by a statement that is assumed to be orthodox?
But does the Bible clearly say anything?
That’s what we’ll unpack in this teaching.

Does God Help Those Who Help Themselves? | [Un]Conventional Wisdom
This week we continue our series contrasting conventional and unconventional wisdom. When someone says, “God helps those who help themselves,” it’s rarely in the context of things going wrong. It’s actually a statement born of (unconscious) privilege. In this message, we unpack that privilege and talk about a better way to think about God.

Does Everything Happen for a Reason? | [Un]Conventional Wisdom
This week, we continue our series contrasting conventional and unconventional wisdom. People often say, “Everything happens for a reason,” a phrase which seeks to find meaning in the events of life. But is that true? Would it even be comforting if it were? Perhaps, if we look for it, there is an unconventional approach to finding meaning in the circumstances we experience.

Baptism & Progressive Christianity

[Extra]Ordinary Time
The largest chunk of the Christian Calendar isn’t celebrations of Easter or Advent. It’s a period referred to as “Ordinary Time.” There's something about that word, “ordinary”, that sounds just so… ordinary. Unremarkable. Forgettable. We live for the opposite, the extra-ordinary. We await and orient our lives around those moments that transcend ordinary, yet the vast amount of our lives are spent in anything but.
What are the gifts and lessons of ordinary time?
How can we allow it to teach us to be present and engaged in the everyday-ness of our lives?
