What We Really Mean When We Talk About Peace: Can We Find It in the Chaos? Perspectives FUMCSD Pastors Podcast S3E50 (Audio) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if peace isn’t avoiding conflict but instead facing it without losing ourselves in the process? In this episode of Perspectives , Rev. Drs. Hannah and Brittany explore what we really mean when we talk about peace through the story of Daniel —who continues to pray even when doing so puts his life at risk. Daniel doesn’t find peace by escaping a chaotic world. He finds a way to remain grounded in his faith, his values, and his sense of self while living amid political pressure, injustice, and
What We Really Mean When We Talk About Love: What Does It Look Like? Perspectives FUMCSD Pastors Podcast S3E49 (Audio) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What does love actually look like when it’s difficult, uncomfortable, or undeserved? In this episode of Perspectives, Revs. Trudy and Brittany explore what we really mean when we talk about love through the story of Jesus washing his disciples’ feet in John 13:3–9. And there's a particularly difficult question at the heart of the story: Why would Jesus wash Judas’s feet—even knowing Judas would betray him? Together, the female pastors of First United Methodist Church of San Diego discuss: How Je
What We Really Mean When We Talk About Forgiveness: Do We Also Have to Forget? Perspectives FUMCSD Pastors Podcast (S3E48) (Audio) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
People might throw you away, but God will never throw you away—and God will never throw away the people who have hurt you. This is what makes forgiveness both complicated and possible. So, what does forgiveness actually mean? Does it require us to forget? To reconcile? To restore a relationship? And what does God ask of us when someone has hurt us? In this episode of Perspectives, Rev. Trudy and Rev. Dr. Brittany explore forgiveness through the story of Joseph and his brothers in Genesis 45. Jos
What We Really Mean When We Talk About Grace: What Gets in the Way? Perspectives FUMCSD Pastors Podcast (S3E47) (Audio) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Grace isn’t just a name or a before-dinner prayer. So, what is grace? What does the Bible say about grace? And why can it be so difficult to offer grace to others? In this episode of Perspectives, Rev. Trudy and Rev. Hannah explore grace through the story of Jonah , the reluctant prophet who resisted God’s call to extend grace to the people of Nineveh. Whether you're exploring progressive Christianity, wrestling with questions about Scripture and faith, or studying the Book of Jonah, this conver
The Image of God & Immigration: A Woman of Faith Stands Up for Justice | Perspectives FUMCSD Pastors Podcast S3E46 (Audio) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What does the Bible actually say about immigration? In this episode of Perspectives, Rev. Dr. Hannah Ka and Nyla Marson explore how Leviticus 19:33–34 challenges Christians to see migrants through the lens of the Image of God (Imago Dei). Together they discuss holiness, discipleship, biblical justice, welcoming the stranger, and how faith moves beyond belief into action. Nyla also shares what she has witnessed while standing outside San Diego's federal courthouse with United Women in Faith, supp
