Feb 04 2025 8 mins

February is a month that has been established as Black History Month.

803 | Coffee to Go | 4th Sunday After Epiphany | Year C

Feb 02 2025 14 mins

We tell ourselves ‘It’s just not fair!’ ... when someone gets something they don’t deserve, especially when we think it ought to be given to us ... you know, the righteous ones! But Jesus was famous for turning things on their head, rather than doing things the way they “ought” to be done. It is, after all, the way of God’s reign. Too often we, like those who were in

Jan 31 2025 41 mins

It’s funny how God can move in your life in ways that you feel both a comforting sense of knowing and a discomforting sense of panic at the same time. Kind of like when you’re called into a new leadership role, like ... say ... President of the Quorum of High Priests and member of the World Church Leadership Council.

We don’t need a sermon, we need a call to action... and that’s what we get in the fourth chapter of Luke. And, it’s at the heart of the Community of Christ Mission Initiatives.

799 | Cuppa Joe | Women of the Restoration | Eleanor Kearney

Jan 24 2025 47 mins

The call to prayer made by one woman in Lamoni, IA in the late 1800s sparks the interest of thousands of women around the world and raises the ire of a lot of men. Eleanor Kearney hasn’t been spoken of much in the church, but she’s another of the unsung women heroes of the church. Because of her feistiness and determination, and in spite of her hearing disability, Eleanor playe

797 | Coffee to Go | Second Sunday After Epiphany Year C

Jan 19 2025 14 mins

How many 30-year-olds still do what their mother tells them to do? Well, maybe it depends on whether or not the mom is the “Holy Mother.” This week at Coffee to Go, hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith take a dive into the Wedding at Cana, the story from the Gospel According to John that records Jesus’ first sign or miracle. And, it wasn’t “the devil that made him do it.”
