Enfolded in Compassion | August 23 | Jason Gaskin (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if the call to offer our bodies as "a living sacrifice" isn't rooted in fear, but in belonging? This week we sit with Romans 12:1-8—a passage many of us memorized in youth group, long before we understood it. Drawing on scholar Douglas Campbell's "Translation for Pagans" and his re-reading of Paul's letter as a text of radical inclusion, we ask what changes when we hear ourselves as first enfolded in compassion, before we're ever asked to give anything back. We explore what it means to offe
When Discomfort Becomes Transformational | August 16 | Jason Gaskin (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens when Jesus doesn't act the way we expect? In this week's message from Matthew's gospel, we sit with the unsettling story of the Canaanite woman — a story where even Jesus is transformed in real time by a woman's persistent faith. Exploring themes of division, who belongs, and the radical hospitality of a table none of us control, this sermon asks us to embrace discomfort as a doorway to a more expansive love. A reflection for anyone who's ever felt like an outsider, or anyone ready
Naming the Storm | August 09 | Jason Gaskin (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This Sunday, we dive into the storm-tossed waters of Matthew's gospel—Jesus asleep in the boat, Peter sinking as he walks toward Jesus on the waves—to ask an honest question: what do we do with our fear? Rather than treating fear as a failure of faith, this message names it as deeply human, and explores how trust isn't the absence of fear but the courage to keep showing up anyway. With a tender story about teaching a daughter to ride her first bike, we find a path toward authenticity, community,
Building Your Trellis: Crafting a Rule of Life | August 02 | Kenneth Brown (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This past week, we explored the ancient practice of a Rule of Life not as a rigid set of laws, but as a trellis to support our spiritual growth. Drawing from Jesus’ own rhythm of service and withdrawal in Luke 5, we discussed how to create intentional patterns around the Spiritual, Self, and Others. Rather than a self-improvement plan, this "version one" rule is a flexible, attainable invitation to reorient ourselves to the present and stay open to the transformational move of the Holy Spirit as
The Power of Whimsy & Joy | July 26 | Leslie Eaves (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, Leslie Eaves explores the profound idea that "authenticity is protest" and "whimsy is combat" in a world that often feels heavy and overwhelming. Leslie draws from her personal journey through middle-age burnout, the relentless news cycle, and the inspiration of a "flower crown man" on Instagram; she reflects on the power of showing up as our true, colorful selves within systems that demand conformity Find out more about Storied Church @ STORIEDCHURCH.org TO GIVE storiedchurch.org/giv
