Different Church Podcast
Does the world need another church? No, it needs a different church! We are different because Jesus was different. He turned the world’s ideas about God upside down, and through love, forever changed the way that humans could relate to God and each other.

The Remnant (LOL) - 9/6/26 Service (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week we're still on the Richard Rohr train, talking about "the remnant". Growing up, a lot of us heard that framed as an elite club, something to strive for and probably fail at.

Read excerpt
