I’ve got a stack of books on my bedside table to read all on one topic: rivers. Actually, one river. The Pascagoula and all its tributaries, including the creek that runs not far from my house. I’m fascinated by this river system, but that's a story for another day (maybe another podcast?)

But they’ve had me thinking about rivers a lot and I realized how many great stories from our tradition take place in or on the banks of rivers. So selfishly as I read about the Pascagoula and work on a project about it beyond God Knows Where, I’m going to spend the next series here here at God Knows Where reflecting on the stories, and rivers, that shaped our tradition.

From the rivers flowing out of Eden and the Nile where Moses was found to the crossings and healings and transformations that happen in other rivers, our tradition has been shaped by the flowing, living water all around us, by both the boundaries they provide and the ones God breaks within them. Hope you’ll join me!

Re-sharing one of my favorite episodes from last summer's series, VBS. It's the beginning of a new school year and the message in this story from Joshua seems on target. Enjoy!

We're wrapping up our series "Be" today with a look at probably the number one thing Jesus calls us to be: Different. But how are we supposed to be different? Let's talk.

We're digging way back in the vault this week for a replay of our very first episode! We'll be back next week with a new episode to close out our current series, Be.

Hope you enjoy!

Today’s episode comes to us from a parable in Luke. It’s all about being ready…for anything. And maybe I need it more than you because it feels like every day something happens that I feel completely unprepared for…Can you relate?Let me know what you think!

Luke 12:35-40

We’ve talked about needing to be reconciled and renewed in this series so far and today, it’s all about being thankful. It might feel like there are fewer and fewer reasons to be thankful these days, but I hope we’ll see in looking at a story from one of Paul’s letters, that no matter what is swirling around us, we can find something for which to be thankful.

Let me know if you agree. Thanks for listening, y’all.

Let’s keep going with this series Be with another thing we’re called to be, that we don’t often take enough time to do: to be renewed and refreshed.

Let’s talk about that a little bit today and see where it leads us.

I don’t know what Sunday was like for you, worshipping hours after news of our nation inserting itself into another violent conflict, but I often find these times to be hard and to make it difficult find or understand where God is in it all. But then, I’m reminding of where Jesus stood on issues of major disagreement and how to settle them: by seeking reconciliation. By doing the hard work of repairing relationships not the easy work of ripping them apart.

So as we continue with this series, Be, I’m reminded of those words that have echoed throughout our tradition. Be reconciled. Let’s talk about that a little bit today and see where it leads us to go and search for the divine presence in the midst of the chaos all around us.

2 Corinthians 5:16-20, Matthew 5:21-24
