Katie Ranum shares a little bit about what "Ordinary Time" on the church calendar is and how we can learn from ordinary times in our own lives. How does faithfully following God in the ordinary, everyday stuff of life prepare us for when the big moments come?

What if we imagine the stories of Jesus as if they happened today? This week, we take a closer look at one of Jesus' well-known feeding stories, as told in John's Gospel, the feeding of the 5,000. Listen in as we consider what it means that our God is a God of abundance, a God of provision, a God of generosity.

Once more, we return to 2 Samuel to guide our learning this week. Alongside this story of David, we look at a passage from the prophet Jeremiah, a couple psalms, a passage from Ephesians 2, and a section of Mark's gospel to consider how God desires to use his leaders—his shepherds, his prophets, his apostles, his teachers—to care for his people.

Today we take a closer look at 2 Samuel 6, exploring another story from the early part of David's reign. Get ready to dance!

This weekend, our friend and Impact Campus Minister, Mitch Lavender, invites us to take a closer look at King David's story as shared in 2 Samuel. What can we learn from the life of one of God's key human partners? How might God be inviting us to partner with him today? What role does power play in advancing Kingdom? Listen in.

Today, we're in Mark 5 taking a closer look at a story (of great faith) within a story (of great faith). How might our faith drive us to act in a particular way in the world?

This week we kick off our summer journey through the weekly lectionary passages, beginning with Paul's words to the church in Corinth. What does it mean that we, the church, are reconciled to God in Christ? What does it mean that we, the church, are ambassadors of Christ in the world? Listen in.

This week, we look at a story from Acts 10/11 to explore the role experience plays in helping us know (1) how to form our faith, and (2) how to live our beliefs as contemporary followers of Jesus in the world today. Tune in as we round out our 3-part series on the Wesleyan Quadrilateral.

Why do we believe what we believe? How do we live because of what we believe? Jeremiah leads us in a teaching, looking at two stories from Acts, to explore how "reason" plays a role in the development of our faith, and our engagement with the world around us.

How do we live as Christians in our contemporary world—amid the rapid change, complexities, and cultural forces of our time and place? Today we begin a 3-part series looking closer at the Wesleyan Quadrilateral, a methodology for theological reflection and discernment that can help guide us through the moral questions and dilemmas faced in daily living. Katie kicks off our series by focusing on the role "tradition" plays in our life of faith.
