    Lectio Divina: Psalm 131 - A Prayer of Quiet Trust

    I have calmed and quieted myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother. - Psalm 131 Lectio Divina is a spiritual practice that invites us to slow down, breathe, and spend a few quiet moments with God. Together, we’ll listen to scripture, reflect, and pray. You don’t need any prior experience or expertise; just a willingness to pause and listen for God’s love within and around you.

    7 Ways to Prayerfully Calm Your Nervous System

    An invitation to breathe, ground, and begin again - together. After a season away, we’re beginning gently, by tending to our bodies and souls. We’re all carrying a lot of stress, grief, and overwhelm right now. Our nervous systems, collectively, are a bit fried. In this episode, we explore what it means to seek an abundant life in the midst of a hurting world, and how prayerful, embodied practices can help us find healing and calm, without ignoring reality. Pastor Kelsey helps us explore how stress and trauma live in our bodies, and then guides us through simple, prayerful, embodied practices that can help regulate our nervous systems. Those practices include breath prayer, grounding, shaking, cold water, community, and song. If you are feeling exhausted, on edge, or simply longing for a softness in your body and spirit, this episode is for you.

    Lisa Sharon Harper: A Very Good Gospel (Replay)

    For Black History Month, we are going back through the archives and listening to the voices of some of the incredible Black Women who have been on the show. Prolific author and speaker, Lisa Sharon Harper, joins us this week, speaking about how we are all made in God’s image and called good, and how often we forget that - about ourselves and about each other. She shares her journey of discovering what the “very good Gospel” is and offers that good news to us, inviting us into the vision God has for the world, and a profound belief that God’s peace is possible. About Lisa From Ferguson to New York, and from Germany to South Africa to Australia, Lisa Sharon Harper leads trainings that increase clergy and community leaders’ capacity to organize people of faith toward a just world. A prolific speaker, writer and activist, Ms. Harper is the founder and president of FreedomRoad.us, a consulting group dedicated to shrinking the narrative gap in our nation by designing forums and experiences that bring common understanding, common commitment and common action. She hosts the podcast Freedom Road which features guests who are leaders in the faith and justice movement. Ms. Harper is the author of several books, including Evangelical Does Not Equal Republican…or Democrat (The New Press, 2008); Left Right and Christ: Evangelical Faith in Politics (Elevate, 2011); Forgive Us: Confessions of a Compromised Faith (Zondervan, 2014); and the critically acclaimed, The Very Good Gospel: How Everything Wrong can be Made Right (Waterbrook, a division of Penguin Random House, 2016). The Very Good Gospel, recognized as the “2016 Book of the Year” by Englewood Review of Books, explores God’s intent for the wholeness of all relationships in light of today’s headlines. Her most recent book, Fortune: How Race Broke My Family and the World--and How to Repair It All, draws on her lifelong journey to know her family’s history, exposes the brokenness that race has wrought in America, and casts a vision for collective repair.

    Essence Ellis: Reproductive Justice in the Wake of Overturning Roe v Wade (replay)

    For Black History Month, we are going back through the archives and listening to the voices of some of the incredible Black Women who have been on the show. Essence Ellis: Reproductive Justice in the Wake of Overturning Roe v Wade  NOTE: This episode was recorded and published BEFORE the final Supreme Court decision was released, effectively overturning Roe v. Wade and stripping folks with a uterus of their rights. For many folks, it felt like the earth shook when Politico published the leaked draft of the Supreme Court's case on Roe v. Wade. Reproductive Justice activists turned up their microphones and voices for louder advocating for reproductive rights. There are a lot of questions we ask have about what the work of Reproductive Justice will look like if the leaked draft is accurate. There's a great deal of fear and concern, and rightly so. Thankfully, we have the wisdom of folks like Essence Ellis, a recent graduate of Yale Divinity School, whose ministry is centered at the intersection of theology, public health, and women's rights. She's on the podcast today to talk about the impending Supreme Court decision, what it means, how the work will continue, and where we can find hope. About Essence Essence Ellis is a recent graduate of Yale Divinity School where she received her Master of Divinity. During her time at seminary, Essence participated in various extracurricular activities and worked with CHHSM as the Rev. Jerry Paul Scholar. A native of Charlottesville, Virginia, Essence works at the intersection of theology, public health, and women’s rights. She is excited to be serving the UCC as the CHHSM/JLCM Fellow, working remotely from Chicago, IL.
