Simple Syrup Junction Coffee

When everything shut down, we realized Junction Coffee could offer something more than just caffeine, so we stopped charging for our product. In this episode, Nick and Jordan, sit down and reminisce about that experience, and reflect on how it shaped not just that season of time, but how it impacted them forever.

Having roots in the Christian faith tradition, the themes of our previous episode (new life and transformation through death and destruction) are found most prevalently in the rhythm of Good Friday and Easter. And so we thought it fitting to invite you into this ancient practice, to pause in the grief, pain, injustice and mourning of the crucifixion 2,000 years ago, and reflect on the things of our time that connect us to those same events- ushering those same feelings- to deepen our desire for change. For hope. For something new. For resurrection.

This episode is intended to coincide with a self lead art walk through a neighborhood in downtown OKC, but this reflection can be done anywhere at any time. The installation is available from noon on Friday, April 2, 2021 until 8pm on Saturday, April 3, 2021. The route begins at the 8th Street Church of the Nazarene located at 701 nw 8th st, OKC.

The 1988 Yellowstone wildfires were devastating. But perhaps between the ashes of a scorched forest, the ash of a religious tradition, and the ashes from the dumpster fire of the past 12 months, we may find hope for a new tomorrow.

After the events of this summer I've become increasingly aware of racial injustice in our country. But it seems to just be information in my head. How can I take what I know, and translate it into a lease that shapes my every day? And interview with Taylor Doe of And Then Moments might suggest that the first step, is actually to be real with ourselves.

Let's explore two seemingly unrelated stories, and see what they might teach us about ourselves and each other. And perhaps, might show us way toward a less scary world.

As the conversation with Nick Lee continues, the dialogue becomes less about racial injustice and more about inequality in America- for all people. We ask the questions why is there, why isn't anything being done about it, and what can we do to correct it.
