  • Summary

  • A word about the title of this podcast – Through Stained Glass. We have these beautiful stained glass windows in our sanctuary that tell the gospel story. Scene by scene. The birth of Jesus Christ. His miraculous life. His death, resurrection and ascension into heaven… A stained glass window is different from a painting. You look at a painting. But you look thru a window.  So, the church looks out at world through stained glass – that is, as defined by the true depiction of reality in the window. The windows are portals into reality through which we see everything else… So, this podcast is an attempt to engage with things going on in the culture through the greater reality of God – in the hope that we might live lives that are profoundly shaped by the gospel story and not the dominant cultural narratives and liturgies that make up what the Bible calls “the world.”

    One Meal With Others
    Aug 26 2021
    We were made to eat, so the table must be our center of gravity. The habit of making time for one communal meal each day forces us to reorient our schedules and our space around food and each other. The more the table becomes our center of gravity, the more it draws our neighbors into gospel community.

    Kneeling Prayer Three Times A Day
    Jul 21 2021
    The world is made of words.  Even small, repeated words have power. Regular, carefully placed prayer is one of the keystone habits of spiritual formation and is the beginning of building the trellis of habit. By framing our day in the words of prayer, we frame the day of love.

    Scripture Before Phone
    Jul 15 2021
    Refusing to check the phone until after reading a passage of Scripture is a way of replacing the question "What do I need to do today?" with a better one, "Who am I and who am I becoming?" We have no stable identity outside of Jesus. Daily immersion in the Scriptures resists the anxiety of emails, the anger of the news, and the envy of social media. Instead it forms us daily in our true identity as children of the King, dearly loved.
