• New Wine For New Skins: God In Process
    2025/11/12

    What if God isn't a distant, unmoved statue—but Love in motion with us? In "God in Process," Pastor Andrew draws on scripture and process theology to picture a God who feels, responds, persuades, and co-creates—never coercing, always luring creation toward wholeness. We explore how this changes prayer (from wish list to partnership), suffering (God with, not causing), and ethics (our choices genuinely shape the future). If you've longed for a faith big enough for science, trauma, and real life, this episode offers a living God who grows relationship with us—moment by moment, possibility by possibility.

  • New Wine For New Skins Embracing The Future
    2025/11/12

    The future isn't something that happens to us—it's something we practice. In "Embracing the Future," Pastor Andrew names our very real fears (change, loss, uncertainty) and then charts a hopeful, Jesus-shaped path forward: becoming good ancestors, stewarding our buildings and budgets like blessings, and organizing church life around repair, inclusion, and joy. This episode blends scripture, movement wisdom, and Missiongathering's next-ten-years vision into clear, doable steps—discernment rhythms, courageous conversations, and experiments in mutual aid and shared leadership. If you're tired of maintenance-mode religion, come catch a glimpse of what's possible when we trust that Love is already waiting for us on the other side of yes.

  • New Wine For New Skins Interdependence
    2025/11/12

    You were never meant to do this alone. In "Interdependence," Pastor Andrew traces a thread from the Body of Christ to ubuntu, disability justice, and ecosystems—showing how God's design is mutual care, not heroic self-sufficiency. We name the myths that isolate us (bootstraps, perfectionism, toxic charity) and practice a better way: consent and boundaries, asking for help without shame, giving without control, and building networks of care where every gift matters and every wound is tended. If you've been taught that dependence is weakness, come hear the gospel's counter story: love becomes real when it flows between us.

  • New Wine For New Skins Small Is All
    2025/11/12

    Big change is born in tiny rooms. In "Small Is All," Pastor Andrew weaves Jesus' mustard-seed parables with emergent strategy's wisdom—what happens at the small scale is the large scale. We name how empire worships spectacle, while the kingdom grows through kitchen-table decisions, five-dollar mercies, quiet reparations, and the daily work of showing up. This episode offers concrete practices—micro-habits of generosity, consent, mutual aid, and truthful conversation—that ripple into household, church, and city. If you've ever felt too small to matter, come hear the good news: scale is a lie; love multiplies.

  • New Wine For New Skins Radical Economics
    2025/11/12

    What if Jesus' good news is as practical as a grocery bill? In "Radical Economics," Pastor Andrew traces a biblical thread from manna and Sabbath to Jubilee, Acts-style sharing, and Zacchaeus—revealing an economy centered on enough, not extraction. We name how scarcity myths, debt, and consumer religion shape our souls, then imagine alternatives: mutual aid, reparations, dignified work, and budgets that act like love letters to our neighbors. This sermon is for anyone who's ever wondered how faith speaks to rent, food, wages, and healthcare—and is ready to practice a gospel that cancels shame, prioritizes people over profit, and organizes our money around mercy.

  • New Wine for New Skins S1E6 Authenticity and Presence
    2025/11/12

    What if holiness looks less like performance and more like showing up—honest, embodied, and here? In this sermon, Pastor Andrew contrasts curated religious personas with the vulnerable presence of Jesus. We talk about masks we learned to wear (perfectionism, niceness, certainty), the nervous system's role in spiritual life, and simple practices that help us stay rooted in our bodies and relationships when things get hard. This is a gentle invitation to bring your whole self—questions, scars, laughter, and all—and discover that God meets us in reality, not fantasy.

  • New Wine For New Skins S1E7 Radical Community
    2025/11/12

    Church isn't a club; it's a covenant. "For Radical Community" imagines a people bound together by shared care, accountability, and joy—especially at the intersections of difference. Pastor Andrew names the habits that erode belonging (gossip, hero worship, scarcity) and the practices that build it (mutual aid, consent, repair, clear boundaries, and power-with leadership). Come for a vision of community where every body has dignity, conflict becomes a path to growth, and no one falls through the cracks. This is how love becomes public.

  • New Wine For New Skins "The Noise"
    2025/11/09

    We are drowning in voices telling us who to be, what to fear, who to hate, and how to prove we're enough. In "The Noise," Pastor Andrew names the spiritual exhaustion of swipe culture, 24/7 outrage, religious hot takes, and ancestral shame scripts buzzing in our heads. Drawing from scripture and lived experience, this sermon invites us to notice which voices sound like empire—and which sound like Jesus. Together we explore practices of quiet resistance: turning down the brutality of perfectionism and purity culture, and tuning in to the still, stubborn voice of Love that calls us beloved, included, and free. This episode is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, triggered, or lost in the chaos and needs a clear, gentle reminder: you are not the noise.
