Peace | The Podcast

Jesus spent most of his time teaching people about God’s Kingdom (or Kin-dom), and used this unique teaching tool – parables – to engage people. They are creative and thought-provoking, relevant and insightful. Jesus also used these stories to teach people about the values of this new way of love and justice…this counter-cultural way of being human.

AND…they are more a...

The Parable of the Prodigal Son (or the Forgiving Father) in Luke 15 is one of the most famous parables in scripture. The audacity of the story on every level is what still makes it one of the most impactful stories in all of the Bible. 

The plan is to look at it from four perspectives. The younger son who leaves, the father who is waiting, the older brother who stayed home, and the communities with whom they interacted along the w...

Easter @ Peace | 7 Miles

The road between Jerusalem and Emmaus was 7 miles. Two of Jesus' disciples didn't remain in town long enough to see if the rumors of resurrection were true. Instead, they started making their way back to Emmaus. And suddenly an incognito Jesus was among them and acted like he didn't know what had happened in the city that weekend. Shocked and sarcastic, the two disciples share their sadness. But Jesus calls...

Good Friday @ Peace

This episode features three spoken word reflections that were given on Good Friday. 

    The Cross is Personal

    The Cross is Communal

    The Cross is a Stumbling Block and Foolish

The final reflection takes its reference from 1 Corinthians where Paul presents the cross as this subversive moment in human history that confounded people in the moment. And it still does today!

Each of these reflections are origi...

Acts 16.31 is one of the seminal passages in the Bible.

‘Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved’.

It’s such a simple verse, but the implications are tremendous. It’s a verse about believing and Jesus and salvation. Much of church doctrine and mission come back to this singular passage. 

So during Lent we are going to dive in and unpack this verse, word-by-word and phrase-by-phrase. Maybe it will teach us more than we think...

Story Telling | Winter 2025 @ Peace

Most of us have heard the stories of Adam & Eve, David & Goliath, and Jesus Walking on Water. We've grown up on these stories and they've shaped our faith from a young age.

But when was the last time we explored the most common stories of the Bible? Too often, we hear these stories as kids and then we move on to the less recognizable stories or the more complex concepts - like parables or...
