Galileo Church – a congregation of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) – is a progressive Christian faith community in Mansfield, Texas. Our pastor – Rev. Dr. Katie Hays – likes to talk. She really loves to talk about the difficult, messy, and confusing questions that arise from trying to understand Jesus. These are some of the things she (and occasionally other friends of ours) shares with us in her sermons.

Be-Holding 3/7
Participation in the Church’s Discernment for Our Next Steps Together. God has got stuff going on – new wine, if you will – and sometimes it’s the church’s job to just catch up. We’re in perpetual discernment mode, never wanting to get stuck – because God will move TF on.

Be-Holding 2/7
Gracious Receipt of Care from the Church Family. The man on the mat has to let himself be moved...examined...forgiven...healed...challenged. It’s a level of vulnerability not everyone can achieve. Deanne’s ordination!

Extension of the Church’s Welcome to Friends, Neighbors, Strangers, and Enemies. The leper couldn’t help himself: Jesus said “Shhh” but he told everybody.

We All Fall Down 5/5
The Scattering. In a sense, the creation-of-the-world story isn’t over until chapter 11. Throughout, God has been observing, evaluating, demolishing, renovating... and now God is redecorating, scattering and spreading the human family. That spread was God’s intention all along – that the human family would “fill the earth.” It’s our tendency to clump together in silos of sameness, but God is here hopeful that we’ll find beauty in diversity.

We All Fall Down 4/5
“I will never again.” God makes a decision: wipe it out, start over. But then God decides differently: “I’ll never do that again.” How do we wrestle with a God who learns as God goes?

Customer Reviews
A new look at old words
After spending my entire lifetime in fundamental evangelical churches, I’ve developed a gut reaction of dread when I discover another sermon has been preached, based on certain biblical passages. That knot of anxiety is loosening with the mental rewriting being done through Rev. Katie Hays sermons and podcasts. Cultural context, language of origin, and acknowledgement that the writers of the Bible are, in fact, NOT infallible are all key components of the restructuring going on in my faith-life. Being able to listen, pause, and replay key passages in the podcasts gives me a welcome midweek reminder that the God of judgement I grew up with can be replaced with the God of Love.
Scripture Redeemed
The sermons at Galileo show me a perspective on scripture I've never seen before. Every time, there's a point at which I go "Ohhhhhhh!!!" and the way I think about the passage being preached on is forever changed. I grew up in a conservative fundamentalist church, and I knew my bible pretty well, so most every passage has some kind of baggage for me, something I used to believe because of the way I used to read it. Studying the bible at Galileo is like redeeming the sacred text, one passage at a time.
Looking for Something Good
A good work was begun in Rev. Katie Hays a while ago and now Katie Hays has begun a good work with the next generation of faithful. Don't miss what's being done here. Drink in the traditions new and old. Find Jesus here.
