The Potluck was the Point (v)

The Potluck was the Point (v)

This week on RevCast, special guest Brandan Robertson, author of Queer and Christian, pulls up a chair to help us reset the table. Not the furniture, the one in Acts 2 where the early church ate together, shared everything, and somehow grew without a building, a budget, or a single ergonomically hostile pew. We get into who's at the table, who's missing, and why the most church-like thing in your week might be a fly fishing trip or a room of grown adults making puppets in the back of a coffee shop. Brandan closes his book with an adapted line from actor Lorenz Tate: "Never beg for a seat at the table when you can build your own damn table." Pull up a chair and join us, it's not our table anyway.

Up, Up, Down, Down (V)

Brand new series, brand new intro music (kind of sounds like the musical lovechild of The Haunted Mansion and Austin Powers). This week the pastors start Reset, beginning with the part of the day nobody asked for: the morning. Most people wake up, grab their phones, and start doom-scrolling before their feet hit the floor. Psalm 5 is basically an ancient guy laying it all out before God at sunrise and then waiting, which is more patience than most of us have before our coffee. The pastors get into snooze buttons, the third cup of coffee that's secretly a prayer, a centering practice that did not survive getting a dog, and whether prayer is a cosmic vending machine or a way to reset the whole day. No cheat code required. Okay, one cheat code. You'll see. 🎶 Music from #Uppbeat ⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/doug-organ/code-switching⁠ [https://uppbeat.io/t/doug-organ/code-switching] License code: ACLEIQKGDLNBXD8L

The Bonus Track (V)

Pastor Bree takes the wheel this week with a mixtape track she picked herself - Madonna's Material Girl, Ecclesiastes 2, and a Pentecost that somehow ties it all together. The question on the table: are you owning your stuff, or is it owning you? New episode out now. Tell your friends. Tell your enemies. God loves them too.
