The first Sunday of Advent is this week, hopefully. Yes, hopefully, as in “it definitely is happening and we’re so excited!”. Is that how we’re approaching Christmas this year? Is that how we bring Hope to others all through the year, and into our own times of joy or pain...
He’s not the “King” they were expecting, and the image that we have of Jesus even today is likely very different from his actual physical appearance. Our depictions of Jesus say a lot more about us than they do about him, and that’s worth exploring as we come to the...

Our culture talks a lot about separating “Church” and “State”. But we also have elected officials who frequently make claims to be doing God’s work, and then lead us in a direction that looks anything but Christ-like. Let’s rewind 2,000 years.

All Hallows Eve, Trick-Or-Treating, and “the Devil”. What are they, and why did we make them up? I know what you’re thinking, “is this seriously a podcast of a Minister talking about Satan not being, real?”. Well, yes. Yes it is. And we talk about lots of other fascinating stuff,...

Jesus didn’t tell people to be grateful, not even during harvest season. He simply exuded gratitude in his daily living, teaching us to be thankful for the many simple blessings in our lives through connecting with others, with the Earth, and with our own breath and spirit. http://media.blubrry.com/sixwaysfromsunday/p/content.blubrry.com/sixwaysfromsunday/SWFS_Ep_025_Oct1_2018.mp3Podcast: Play in...
