So, what did you preach about?

By: Meredith Gudger Raines
  • Summary

  • Every week, we talk to a pastor about their last sermon. We’ll meet their congregations, hear the issues in their community, and see where the light shines in. Do you want to open a window to the human story and the sacred spirit that connects us? Every ordinary sermon, and the process that created it, can be an entry to an exploration of faith, community, trust, and hope. Join us for the conversation!


    Made possible by sponsorship from The Pacific Northwest Conference of The United Methodist Church.

  • Don't Be Afraid with Violet Johnicker
    Nov 5 2024
    It's election day in the United States! And we are afraid. This election has extremely high stakes, and the outcome will have significant impact on our lives. In the midst of times of fear, Jesus asks his disciples not to be afraid, not to let fear control us and take over our call to be people of love. Uh, Jesus? How do we do this? Last Sunday, Rev. Violet Johnicker reminded her congregation that, when his life was on the line, and a tense peace was about to descend into violence, Jesus told his followers, "Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid." We hope this message brings you a bit of peace and calm on a difficult day.

  • Reforming our Communities with Wilma Reyes
    Nov 5 2024
    Rev. Wilma Reyes is doing a lot of new things: living in a new part of the country, pastoring three churches of different denominations, and helping people see new ways to build community. It might be human nature to divide people into insiders and outsiders, but the barrier-breaking love of Jesus asks us to choose a different way. Some leaders in our social and political landscape would like to limit whose voices are heard. Pastor Wilma, empowered by Jesus, is building a community where all voices are lifted up and heard.

  • Bonhoeffer's Joy with Molly Fraser
    Nov 2 2024
    In times of turmoil and uncertainty, we look for role models to show us the way. Rev. Molly Fraser is using Dietrich Bonhoeffer as a guide for her congregation, helping them reflect more deeply on what it means to pick up their cross. It may sound counterintuitive, but sacrifice can be the path to joy. What kind of sacrifices are we being called to make---and what sacrifices are we not prepared to make? Along the way, we talk about changing worship practices, being pastors and moms, and the power of sharing a good story.
