    The Liturgy of Politics

    Author and speaker Kaitlyn Schiess joins Pastor Moore and Pastor Jeff to discuss her book "The Liturgy of Politics: Spiritual Formation for the Sake of our Neighbor." The three explore the intersection of politics and theology and discuss how the white evangelical church has been shaped by partisan politics. They reflect on how the African American theological tradition can lead us back to a more robust understanding of Jesus' vision for a kingdom of justice and shalom for all people and how the church can be those people.

    Power in Weakness

    Author and professor Dr. Tim Gombis joins Pastor Moore and Pastor Jeff to talk about his work and his book. This is a far reaching conversation on the cross shaped vision of life that Jesus lived and how this conflicts with the current state of white evangelicalism. They speak about how white evangelicalism has been captured by capitalism, patriarchy and power and how these gods offer empty promises while the way of the cross is the invitation to a cruciform way of living.

    The Next Worship

    In her book, The Next Worship, Sandra Maria Van Opstal gives vision for the beauty and power of multiethnic, multicultural worship in forming a people who declare the praises of God in a diverse world. She writes, "When multiethnic worship is done well, the church models reconciliation and prophetic justice, heralding God’s good news for the world. Enter into the praise of our king, and let the nations rejoice!" http://www.sandravanopstal.com/ Twitter: @@sandravanopstal
