Week 4 of our Advent series continues. Lets journey together as we follow different messages given during this time around the birth of Jesus. On this Fourth week of advent we will light the candle of Love and listen to the angels message to the shepherds. What does love mean and how is it that we all have such a different perception of love? As we wait in the Advent season how are we shaping the way we love in a way that resembles the love shown by the Christ to come?  Join us every week during advent for a new message and we look forward to rejoicing together on that joyous Christmas day as we celebrate the coming of Jesus.

Should women be ordained to leadership in the church? Heavens yes! God appointed women to positions of leadership--the prophet Miriam, the judge Deborah, the disciples Joanna and Susanna--so why are there so many denominations that won't ordain women? Join the conversation. We will be speaking with our resident feminist Bible scholar, Dr. Jenn Bird, about this question. She offers a new and surprising take on Jesus' relationship to Mary and Martha plus so much more. 

We are back with part 2 of our Science and Faith series! Can you love both science and God? Can you be religious and reasonable too? Many people assume that to be religious is to reject science. But we believe otherwise--that science is a gift from God who gives us the powers of reason and observation that science uses to make the world a better place. In this episode, we talk with Karl Giberson, PhD. Karl is a physicist who has written numerous books on science and religion such as The Wonder of the Universe, Seven Glorious Days, and Saving the Original Sinner. Celebrating both mainstream science and a deep progressive faith, Karl has always experienced his love for science as a calling from God.
