When the Creed looks ahead to the future it teaches us to expect, it speaks of the resurrection of bodies. If our bodies are so beloved by God that God will raise them up in the end, then how should we honor them right now?

If you would like to join us in the practice of Eucharist, make sure to have some form of bread and juice with you.

Can violence and vengeance really build the world we want? And if not, how do we sustain a posture of mercy in world with so much harm? This episode also includes a time of reflection and a prayer of confession and absolution borrowed from our Anglican sisters and brothers in the Book of Common Prayer.

Our lead pastor, Jason Miller, announced this week that his first book will be released in August. We wanted to take a moment to celebrate the book and hear the heart behind it. SBCC celebrates the work our team does in the world when it’s aligned with our message and mission.

We’ve also seen too many examples of this being done badly, where potential conflicts of interest are ignored and accountability is lacking, so we wanted to offer some transparency about the process and plan we’ve pursued to do this in a way that honors our values.

In this conversation, you’ll hear Jason, our executive pastor Matt Graybill, and board member Kem Meyer sharing the story behind the book, the questions we’ve wrestled with as it’s being promoted and released, and the plan for SBCC’s relationship to the book.

The gift of the Holy Spirit was meant to give birth to a church that carried on the work of Jesus. So what do we do with a church that so often betrays Jesus? At the end of this weekend’s gatherings, we were reminded that each of us shares in the communion of saints and we got to celebrate the baptisms of 6 of our community members.

What does it mean to believe in the Holy Spirit? And what should we expect from the Holy Spirit? When so many of us have seen so many questionable claims about the Spirit, what if the real promise of this line of the creed is in the kind of community the Spirit births?
