Colleen: Prayed a blessing over all the mothers: Thank you, God for all mothers.
I have nothing to offer of peace of my own; Jesus, we want your living peace that roots us that we are enough and loved.
I am honored and frightened to be speaking to you about peace: we are having the imposter syndrome because we both don’t have this. We are honored and excited to engage in peace. Here is my daughter’s painting from last week. The blue painting is the background

The Village Church’s sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message. It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God’s work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God’s kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose.
Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.
