Episode 18: How to Navigate the 2024 Election

Today's episode is a special presentation from an event on March 10th, "How to Navigate the 2024 Election", in partnership with The One America Movement and several Tulsa area churches. We gathered for shared dinner, table conversations, hearing from Eric Costanzo and a Q & A session with a panel of pastors who are working together across our different traditions. We hope you will share this episode with others and that it will be an inspiration for you to engage in better, healthier conversations around divisive topics during this election year and it will be a reminder that the people we disagree with have a story and humanity just like we do. To learn more, you can email daniel@oneamericamovement.org, eric@southtulsa.org or denise@thewelltulsa.org. You can also visit The One America Movement to find articles, resources and inspiration for addressing toxic polarization. The Well is a dinner church that meets in Tulsa, OK around shared meals, conversations, music and storytelling so that we can welcome each other to be fully present and fully ourselves in walking a faith road together.

Episode 17: Advent Series - Joy

In this episode, we talk about how Joy often comes when an unexpected shift from the ordinary of life is in front of us, and how the birth of Jesus is very much one of those unexpected joys of God, breaking in to the ordinary of our lives. Special thanks today for the music performed by our friends Alexandria Moore and Angelo Hurling on the song Christmas Time is Here, and Arthur Thompson performing The Little Drummer Boy.
