God’s love is abundant and never ending. We focus on this extravagant love as we seek a better understanding of Scripture. We examine the history, language and culture that form the foundation of Scripture as we consider the challenge to us to radically love God and our neighbor.

    The Problem With Belonging: Church, Politics, Tribalism and Time

    Is 95% agreement on an issue enough to belong? Or is that 5% always a dealbreaker? Can you engage with differences with curiosity, constructive debate, and genuine respect?

    Nun, Suffering Saint or Outcast? Single Middle-Aged Women in the Church

    If you're Protestant, a woman is supposed to get married. If you're Catholic or Orthodox, a woman can get married or become a nun. The Bible also offered polygamy as an option, one the Mormons famously adopted in their need to care for a large number of widows and orphans, but that is frowned up today. So women are often pressured to marry men that won't be good husbands, or ostracized as a threat. What are the answers offered to the whole generation of women who either through circumstances or cultural pressure find themselves sing and childless in middle age? This an episode with a lot of questions and no answers...
