    Come By Here - Episode #4259

    Join us for Day1 Episode 4259 with Rev. Mark Ramsey, Executive Director of The Ministry Collaborative in Atlanta, GA, preaching "Come By Here" from Romans 5:1-5. In a week when many feel exhausted and divided, Ramsey draws on Paul's chain of suffering, endurance, character, and hope to show that biblical hope is God's gift, not optimism we manufacture. Through the witness of Fannie Lou Hamer, Vincent Harding, and a reclaimed "Kumbaya," he reminds us, as the Pentecost season draws toward its close, that God is present.

    A Little Easter Before Winter - Episode #4258

    Join us for Episode 4258 with Bishop J. Neil Alexander, Dean's Professor of Anglican Studies at Emory University's Candler School of Theology and Custodian of the Book of Common Prayer. In his sermon, "A Little Easter Before Winter," based on Matthew 5:1-12, Bishop Alexander reads the Beatitudes as Jesus' great reversals, blessings bound to promises made possible by the resurrection. On this All Saints Sunday, he invites us to face death honestly, remember those who have gone before us, and trust that the way things have always been need not be the way they always will be.

    We Can Do Hard Things - Episode #4257

    Join us for Episode 4257 of Day1 as Rev. Dr. John H. Vaughn, executive pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, and Rabbi Lydia Medwin of The Temple, both in Atlanta, co-preach "We Can Do Hard Things" from Exodus 3:1-15. Through God's call to a reluctant Moses at the burning bush, they show how God partners with flawed people and surrounds them with human companions for the work of liberation. In this season after Pentecost, their message offers steady encouragement: we are not asked to do it all, only our part. Tune in for Christian and Jewish wisdom on courage and calling.

    Pray for THEM?! - Episode #4256

    Join us for Day1 Episode 4256 with Rear Admiral Rev. Dr. Margaret Grun Kibben, the 62nd Chaplain of the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington, D.C., as she preaches "Pray for THEM?!" from Matthew 22:15-22. Drawing on her unique calling, Dr. Kibben explores Jesus' answer to a political trap: the coin bears Caesar's image, but we bear God's. On this 21st Sunday after Pentecost, she calls us to civic responsibility and to pray for the leaders we like and the ones we don't. Tune in for a hopeful word on faith, citizenship, and prayer.

    Join us for Episode 4255 as we welcome the Rev. Dr. Jason Byassee, Senior Pastor of Timothy Eaton Memorial Church in Toronto, for his sermon "The Firetruck in the Ditch," based on Exodus 32:1-4, 7-11, 14. Marking the 20th Sunday after Pentecost, Byassee explores Israel's golden calf catastrophe, contrasting Aaron's passive complicity with Moses' zealous overreach, and reminding us that idols are often good things we mistakenly worship. Ultimately, he points to a God who repairs what we ruin.

    Join us for Episode 4254 of Day1, as Rev. Susan Sparks, Senior Minister of Madison Avenue Baptist Church in New York City, brings her sermon "Riding Into the Storm" from St. Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh, drawn from Psalm 46:1-11. On this nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost, Sparks turns a South Dakota motorcycle ride through a violent storm into a meditation on stillness, refuge, and courage, reminding us that God's presence, not the absence of storms, is the promise we are given.

    A Message, A Memory, A Mystery - Episode #4253

    Join us for Episode 4253 of Day1, featuring Rev. Matthew Fleming, teaching pastor at St. Andrew Lutheran Church in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, and founder of Church Anew. In his sermon "A Message, A Memory, A Mystery," drawn from Psalm 78:1-8, Fleming reflects on the wonder of children's questions and the psalmist's call to pass faith from one generation to the next. As we move through the 18th Sunday after Pentecost, he invites us to hold scripture as message, memory, and mystery alike.

    Subverting Expectations - Episode #4252

    Join us for Episode 4252 as Rev. Dr. Aimee Moiso, an ordained Presbyterian Church (USA) minister and manager of social policy witness for the denomination, brings us "Subverting Expectations" from Luke 14:1-14. As we move through the season after Pentecost, Aimee unpacks a familiar dinner party story, showing how Jesus quietly upends assumptions about status, humility, and who deserves a seat at the table. Drawing on her background in ecumenical work and conflict transformation, she offers a thoughtful challenge to how easily we dehumanize those we disagree with.
