The Unfolding — Origami, the Quaker Clearness Committee, and the Wisdom You Already Have (9/27/2026) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"You have access to the deepest wisdom you need within you." This episode explores the life journey through the metaphor of origami. An artist starts with a single square. They fold and fold — never cutting, never tearing — until a flat sheet becomes something complex and organic. And then, if they wish, they can unfold it all the way back to a square. The shape is gone, but its story is still in the paper: an origami master can read the crisscrossing creases and tell you what was made there. Ev
Take Your Place: An Ecosystem Has No Spare Parts, and Why Your Worth Is Not What You Do (9/13/2026) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"Your contribution to the work does not define your worth." A shorter episode than usual — homily length. Before the service we held a teams fair, where congregants could visit every team that makes this church function internally and do justice work in the wider community. This is the message that followed. "Take your place" is not the theatre's places, everyone . It is not a performance, and it is not a way to earn prestige or credits toward the chosen afterlife. It is an invitation: to claim
The Way of Water — Carolyn McDade, Lucile Schuck Longview, and the Feminist Origins of the UU Water Communion (9-06-2026) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"When you shed a tear, it is likely that some of the water in your tears has been cried before. Maybe many times. Maybe countless times." This is a recording of our Water Communion service. I've left the voices of congregants sharing their blessings in the episode, so that those blessings might be passed on to you as well — sixty-odd voices, one to three words each, spoken into the water before it was poured into the bowl. Some are ordinary and some will stop you. The ritual began in November 19
Choice, Then Agency, Finally Liberation — Paulo Freire on the Fear of Freedom, Autonomy, and the Quest for Human Completion (8-30-2026) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"We are not free from triggers, but we can develop the skills to recognize those triggers when they happen." In this episode I work line by line through a dense passage from Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed — the one about the oppressed having internalized the image of the oppressor and become fearful of freedom — and ask what it has to do with an ordinary Sunday morning. I start on a running trail, with two dogs and a man who tenses up. One dog is what I call a stimulus-jerked puppet: i
Journey to Wholeness: Stephen Jenkinson, Embodied Practice, and Why Wholeness Is Not a Hierarchy (8-16-2026) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"Your body is neither an inconvenience nor tertiary to your existence." This episode is an invitation into embodied practice — and a correction to something the summer sermon series may have implied. Over July, the four-part Social Change series read Deepa Iyer's ecosystem through gut, heart, head, and spirit. That sequence could sound like a ladder. This message says otherwise: the mystery underneath our words is about the wholeness of the thing, not the hierarchy of the thing. Gut, heart, and
