Artisan Church Podcast

Our contemplation of Awe continues as Pastor Jae attempts to point us toward the very real presence of God in our world today.  Can we, even in our trials and distress, glimpse that God is in our midst? Speaker: Pastor Jae Newman Part of the series “Immersed in Awe: An Advent Sereis”

One of the great mysteries of our faith is that it is lived out and shared through particular people and people groups but is available to and intended for ALL people. How can it be true that we receive and pass on a universal salvation while still being a set apart, holy people? Talk about awe-inspiring! Speaker: Pastor Scott Austin Part of the series “Immersed in Awe: An Advent Sereis”

As we prepare our minds and hearts for Advent, members of the Staff and Leadership Team will share experiences ranging from being new to being more introverted at Artisan.  This panel will seek to offer safe, authentic connection, and discuss some strategies to overcoming some of the barriers that often hold us back from feeling like we belong. Speaker: Staff and Leadership Team Members

What we can learn from other nations about owning the past. Speaker: Pastor Jae Newman Part of the series “With God On Our Side?: An election season series about America and what it means to be the people of God”

Regardless of the results of this election, our country is broken. How can the Church be a part of rebuilding, reconstructing, and re-forming? Where and how do we begin? Speaker: Pastor Scott Austin Part of the series “With God On Our Side?: An election season series about America and what it means to be the people of God”

James cautions against losing control of the words we use—especially when it comes to judging others. While it is possible to choose to say nothing, it is even more important to do the inner work of addressing the judgmental heart. This sermon concludes with a guided reflection.

The tension between faith and good works is well known in church history and theology. But in the book of James, there is a third concept that interacts with faith and works: wisdom.

Speaker: Pastor Jae Newman Part of the series “Artisan Summer Read: Long Way Home”

A Long Way Home depicts a moment when Saroo is not sure he finds that remembering his early childhood is painful, yet he can't help but continue to remember it because it is all he has. We turn to the scriptures to find God's people being called both to remembrance and to embracing new life in Christ. How do we keep these in balance? Speaker: Pastor Scott Austin Part of the series “Artisan Summer Read: Long Way Home”

If we read Jesus’s life well, we should be able to recognize where and how our societies continue to produce scapegoats; then, we can stop the cycle of violence and blame because we know the truth. Speaker: Jennifer Bradshaw

In the famous sand unsettling Bible story of David and Bathsheba, a powerful man commits a grave sin against a powerless woman, and then covers his actions with violence. Then a prophet calls the powerful man to account. But who are WE in this story, and where does Jesus fit in? Speaker: Pastor Scott Austin Part of the series “Ordinary Time 2024: A sermon series for ordinary time”
