The Clergy Corner Rev. Arik Borstad

Pastor Arik is back at it as Advent kicks off! Join him as he explores the highs and lows of the season, and reflects on why it is so important to show grace to one another this time of year

With the big moving day coming next week, this episode marks the last episode for Pastor Arik as Pastor of Community of Faith. Instead of saying goodbye, we will say, "so long for now," and "until we meet again."

As of this week, Pastor Arik no longer owns a home! Join him as he explores the strange feeling of uprootedness as he prepares for the big changes coming in his life. 

As Pastor Arik prepares for a big move, he finds himself living in between two worlds. What is it like to live with one foot in the past, and one foot in the future? Where does our mind go? How can we center ourselves in gratitude, as we give thanks for the difficult changes taking place? Join Pastor Arik as he reflects on these liminal spaces that come from big changes.

In the midst of all the changes in his life, this week Pastor Arik's youngest son decided he wanted a big boy bed. Join Pastor Arik as he explores a lesson he learned from the process and why it is so important for us to live in the present moment. 

When faced with challenges or problems, it is human nature for us to want to assign blame. This week Pastor Arik looks at why we should resist the urge to pass blame on others, as he explores how it gets in the way of the important work that needs to be done
