Pod Be With You Rev. Aaron James and Rev. Paige Wolfanger

This week, although the scripture passages are a bit different, the themes that Pastor Aaron and Pastor Paige or exploring are very much the same...connection, commitment, relationship, abundance, and joy. How do we stay connected to the Spirit? How do we live that out in our lives? How do we invite others? Join us for another hour of sparkling conversation.

In a shocking turn of events, the author of the Gospel of John is consistent with his themes and threads, and nowhere is that more than it is this week, when we dive into John 10 to talk about Good Shepherds, and John 15 to talk about Good Friends. It's about community, grace, empowerment, and the profundity of Divine Love. Join us if you can for this Johannine exploration.

It's the Third Sunday of the Easter Season, and so Salvation is on our minds...what are we saved from, to what are we delivered, and what is Jesus' role in this amazing work? The Disciples wonder this in their post-resurrection encounters with Jesus, and so do we from our spot in the 21st century. So, let's talk about it...

It's the second Sunday of Easter, and it's time to wrap up Peter's story. Or is it really? Because, although there is some resolution here, it is certainly not the end of Peter's narrative arc, or of Jesus', or of his followers. We end where we began, with "Follow me." 

All of Holy Week in less than an hour? You came to the right place! In this episode of Pod Be With You, we cover not just the Triumphal Entry on Palm Sunday, but also Peter's experience of Holy Week and the Passion. It's difficult, and painful, and uncomfortable, but so very, very human. More than that, there will be resurrection on the other side, not just for Jesus, but for Peter, too. There is Good News even in the darkness.

Technically, this week is Part Two of last week's scripture.  Immediately after Peter's proclamation that Jesus was the Messiah, he kind of puts his foot in it. Jesus has shared that when they go to Jerusalem, he will suffer and die. And Peter vehemently objects. But what is he really objecting to? This week, temptation, following, and the dual and dueling Kingdom of this World and Kingdom of Heaven.
