Podcast appearances and mentions of bishop michael curry

Fred Bodimer provides an in-depth look at recent religious news. In Oklahoma, State School Superintendent Ryan Walters mandates public schools to teach the Bible as a historical document, sparking debates on Christian nationalism. In Louisiana, civil liberties groups challenge a new law requiring the 10 Commandments in public school classrooms. Additionally, Sean Roe becomes the youngest presiding bishop elected in the Episcopal Church, set to succeed Bishop Michael Curry. 

Today we begin a post-Easter series of several weeks of focus on 1 John with some verses from chapter 3 that are centered on God's love and how our love can be manifested in acts. Although the English word, “love,” can refer to a wide variety of emotions and acts, Greek has several different words that can be translated “love” – philos, eros, and agape, each with different applications and contexts. In 1 John, it is agape that is at the heart of Christianity, and in the passage for today, agape is love in action: laying ourselves down for others. Some of us are exploring that further through the book, Love Is the Way: Holding on to Hope in Troubling Times, by Bishop Michael Curry. Every day there are opportunities for us to choose to love others, putting the well-being of another above our own. In our Methodist tradition, John Wesley would call this “sanctification,” the process of practicing agape through the church. Our own church experience gives us the opportunity to learn agape through practice.

And often this change that we really want is to desperately go back to when we remember what we remember as simpler or better or easier times. We want our churches to be like they were. And of course, they were wonderful. We want them and our world to slow down and stop changing. But unfortunately, staying static or spending all of our energy and words pining for what was or what could be, really isn't the way of Jesus. What is it Jesus says after he tells us to lose our life? He says, if any of you wants to serve me, then follow me, then you'll be where I am ready to serve at a moment's notice. Follow me, be where I am. Be ready to go where I am going. It's a challenge for us personally, but also collectively. We have to look for where Jesus is going and ask if we are willing to go there too. In January, 2020, just two months before COVID, before we knew what was coming our way, I was sitting in a room a lot like this with Bishop Michael Curry, and he was talking to young adults in Washington, DC, and he said something that I had never heard him say before. He said, what people forget is that the institution of the church exists in order to serve the movement of Jesus, not the other way around. The institution exists to serve the movement of Jesus. The movement of Jesus does not exist to serve the institution. I think that's a lot of what Jesus is talking about today, especially here in the year 2024. And I think we're being asked collectively if we are willing to lose the church we want in order to follow Jesus to go where he is reckless in our love. A love that has an internal impact. Are we willing to lose the church we want in order to be the church he's calling us to be? If we were to go where Jesus is, then we have to ask, so where is Jesus, right?

Reach Teach Talk focuses its 42nd  podcast episode on the upcoming film, “A Case for Love”, and explores how it brings school and family communities together. What is "unselfish love"?  During the darkest days of the Global Pandemic, filmmaker Brian Ide (President, Grace-Based Films) set off on a nationwide quest for the answer to that question. The result is the brilliant documentary film, "A Case for Love"; a collection of 14 stories about ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and with a throughline focused on the teachings of Bishop Michael Curry. Nat talks with Brian about how this is a perfect film to screen for middle school and high school students, parent groups, and communities of all types. Because the world needs more unselfish love...and "A Case for Love" is a perfect place to find it. www.acaseforlovemovie.com Director Brian Ide has worked in the entertainment industry for over 20 years, initially as a paid actor, then producer, and eventually journeyed in to the world of directing. “A Case for Love” is his fifth film, and premier feature-length documentary.   After producing and directing the feature film “This Day Forward,” Brian traveled the U.S. presenting the film in churches, theaters, and community centers while discussing the film's message and experiencing its impact on audiences. Following that tour, the Lutheran Church of Australia called him to their communities to do the same. 50 pages of responses to that tour are available on the film's website. Prior to founding Grace-Based Films, Brian directed “Clear Lake, WI” and the recent faith-based short film, “Reconcile”, which has been viewed and used in 47 different countries. A three-time national judge for the Polly Bond Awards, he has spoken to colleges, faith centers, and film programs nationwide about the intersection of film and faith. Brian is the son of an ELCA Lutheran pastor-father and devout Catholic mother. He is the husband to a lifelong Episcopalian who is drawn to stories that focus on what unites us rather than what divides. The mission of Grace-Based Films is to tell compelling stories, through film, that meet 21st Century audiences exactly where they are in the messiness of life, emboldening them and reminding them that none of us are alone.

Hooray! We are celebrating the 100th episode of the Jesus Storybook Bible Podcast, and while we can't believe we're already at this milestone, we're honored to share the celebrations with a special guest host today, our friend, Ellie Holcomb. Ellie walks with us down memory lane as we visit some powerful episodes with guests who speak to God's never stopping, never giving up, unbreaking, always and forever love; including Amy Grant, Bishop Michael Curry, Jodi Benson, Michelle Hord, Aarti Sequeira, and the late and beloved pastor and writer, Tim Keller.    Quotes “Isn't it so beautiful to learn and to rest in the knowledge that we are all part of God's story?”  – Ellie Holcomb “When I walk into a situation and I want to be a part of it, I ask, ‘What do I already have?' I want to share what I have and I want to share it in a way of believing that a little bit can go a super long way in God's hands.” – Amy Grant  “Love makes room and space for others to be. Because that's what love does.” – Bishop Michael Curry “This verse just spoke to my heart and spirit, and I truly believe it was God throwing me a lifeline: Job 13:15, ‘Though He slay me, yet will, I trust Him.' This verse became a battle cry for me.” – Michelle Hord “What I always wanted was that my relationship with God would be so real that it would just leak out of me… I think God has done that. I can't talk about hardly anything without talking about what God thinks about it.” – Aarti Sequeira  “God can do extraordinary things through ordinary people who obey Him. If you can walk in obedience in something that's terribly uncomfortable, then let Him take it from there.” – Jodi Benson “If you are a Christian, you know that your relationship with God is impossible unless God forgives you. He doesn't make you repay your debt because your debt is far more than you could pay. And it's also true that if you do know you're forgiven by God, then you turn to other people who owe you, who have wronged you, and you're able to forgive them.” – Tim Keller   Guest's Links Ellie Holcomb's Facebook Ellie Holcomb's Instagram Ellie Holcomb's Twitter Ellie Holcomb's Website   Resources Mentioned in This Episode Amy Grant's Episode Part 1 Amy Grant's Episode Part 2  Bishop Michael Curry's Episode Jodi Benson's Episode Aarti Sequeira's Episode Michelle Hord's Episode Tim Keller's Episode   Connect with Sally Lloyd-Jones Jesus Storybook Bible Facebook Jesus Storybook Bible Instagram  Sally's website Sally's Facebook Sally's Instagram   *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media*

How do you step into conversations, whether personal or professional, family, friends, colleagues, or even perceived or real adversaries, and still find a place for love in the conversation? Is that even possible in some situations? Is it asking way too much, or is it the only way to finally feel the way you want to feel and resolve an issue that, approached any other way, will remain forever intractable?That's what we're talking about with today's guest, the Most Reverend Michael Curry, who is the first African American individual to serve as Presiding Bishop and Primate of The Episcopal Church.In May of 2018, Bishop Curry delivered a moving sermon on the redemptive power of love at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal wedding, then just months after served as the officiant for the state funerals of Senator John McCain and President George H.W. Bush in the Washington National Cathedral. Bishop Curry has also written 5 books, his newest is Love is the Way: Holding Onto Hope in Troubling Times, which expands upon his focus on love as the centerpiece for a new way to live and find meaning and peace, even at times when they can seem so hard to access. We explore all of this in today's BEST OF conversation.You can find Bishop Michael Curry at: Website | InstagramIf you LOVED this episode you'll also love the conversations we had with Rev.

Bishop Michael Curry might be best known for delivering the sermon at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. He is currently the presiding bishop and primate of The Episcopal Church, and is the first African American to serve as in that role. Diana Akiyama is currently the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon. She is the first Japanese-American woman to become an Episcopal priest and the first Asian-American woman to become an Episcopal bishop. Geoff Norcross sits down with Presiding Bishop Michael Curry and Bishop Diana Akiyama at St. John the Baptist Parish on the campus of Oregon Episcopal School for a conversation about faith, diversity within the Episcopal Church, and the role of justice in the church.

What Jesus reminds us, is that with God it's not about rules, but about compassion and love. As our presiding Bishop Michael Curry is fond of saying, “If it's not about love, it's not about God.” To Jesus, there are no barriers, no qualifications, no “ins” or “outs” for receiving the mercy and healing of God. Nope. That's not how God works. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy, slow to anger and of great kindness.

With everything going on in the world recently, we've likely all thought to ourselves at some point, "Is humanity lost?" You are not alone if the news makes you feel like everything is hopeless, and it's fair to wonder if collective and individual hope in empathy, compassion, and humanity will ever be restored. As we move forward past the darkest days of the COVID-19 outbreak, many people are still searching for hope, inspiration, and answers to some big questions like: How do you regain access to empathy? Or what truly matters in life in the end? And I can't think of a better person to explore these questions with than my guest today, Rabbi Steve Leder. He is a graduate of Northwestern University and was ordained at Hebrew Union College, and he currently serves as the Senior Rabbi of Wilshire Boulevard Temple in Los Angeles. He's also a writer and the author of several critically acclaimed books, including his best-seller, More Beautiful Than Before: How Suffering Transforms Us, and his latest book, For You When I'm Gone: 12 Essential Questions to Tell a Life Story. His compassionate voice and words of wisdom have earned Rabbi Leder recognition as one of Newsweek Magazine's ten most influential rabbis in America — twice. In this revealing conversation, we explore his views on humanity, death, religion, and what makes a good life well-lived.Rabbi Leder shares his interesting thoughts on why people leave the church, what he believes to be the true single source of evil, and how we can all get back to living in alignment with our values and also how to create a powerful curation of beliefs and stories to share with others he calls your ethical will. There are so many good nuggets to take away from this conversation, so I hope you're in a position to jot down Rabbi Leder's words of wisdom today.You can find Rabbi Steve at: Website | InstagramIf you LOVED this episode you'll also love the conversations we had with Bishop Michael Curry about the role of love in faith and life.Check out our offerings & partners: My New Book Sparked | My New Podcast SPARKEDVisit Our Sponsor Page For a Complete List of Vanity URLs & Discount Codes.Ritual: Committed to creating the purest, most effective formulations for everyday health, and sharing every ingredient, source & scientist behind our products.

2021 is winding down. For some of us it flew by, for others it was the longest year of our lives. We might have experienced pure love, we might have learned new things and explored new places, and perhaps we grew closer to becoming the people we are meant to be. But some of us grieved. We lost loved ones, and dreams we once had. We dealt with suffering and sadness. But you know what we all did together? We made it. We lived. We found life and joy and hope and sadness and love. And in that, we have the power to spread that hope of “making it” to others who are walking alongside us in similarly complex journeys.  As we link hands to face another year, we asked a close friend of the show and one of our most cherished leaders to bless us with a year-end benediction; Bishop Michael Curry. Bishop Curry beautifully wraps up the spirit of this tumultuous year and gives us something to hope for in the coming new year, while speaking a blessing of light and life over us all.    * * *   Thank you to our sponsors!   Betterhelp | Get 10% off your first month at betterhelp.com/forthelove.   Express VPN | Go to expressvpn.com/forthelove to get 3 months free on a one-year package.   Chime | Get started today at chime.com/forthelove.

Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church Michael Curry joins The Jesus Storybook Bible Podcast to share ways we can lead with love in all areas of our lives, though it isn't always easy. But Bishop Curry reminds us that leading with love is a commitment, that we must use Jesus as an example for the way we view and treat others, and that we are at our best when we live in love.    Quotes “Living a life that is loving, that is characterized, defined by the way of love as we see it in Jesus of Nazareth is not easy. But it can be done. But it's important to remember that this way of love is not a sentiment, it is a commitment.” - Bishop Michael Curry “This world and every one of us have been created by the hand of God, by the hand of love. We were made by love, if you will. We were made for love. We were made to love, and we were made to be loved. And we as human beings, individually, as a society and in all of our various collections, we are at our best when we live in love.” - Bishop Michael Curry “Jesus goes to the cross for agape, not for Himself, but for the good and the wellbeing and the welfare of others. That kind of love has the power to bind us together as a human community, as a human family. It has the power to bind us together as societies through all of our differences. When unselfish, sacrificial love that seeks the good and the well-being of others is the way, then everybody finds their way.” - Bishop Michael Curry “Love makes room and space for others to be.” - Bishop Michael Curry   Bishop Michael Curry's LinksBishop Michael Curry's Website Bishop Michael Curry's Facebook Bishop Michael Curry's Twitter Bishop Michael Curry's Instagram   Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeEpiscopal Church Martin Luther King, Jr. 1 John 4:7-12 NIV Martin Luther   Connect with Sally Lloyd-JonesJesus Storybook Bible Facebook Jesus Storybook Bible Instagram  Sally's website Sally's Facebook Sally's Instagram   *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media*

Rev. angel Kyodo williams has been bridging the worlds of liberation, love, and justice her entire adult life. Her critically acclaimed book, Being Black: Zen and the Art of Living With Fearlessness and Grace was hailed as “an act of love” by Pulitzer Prize winner Alice Walker, and "a classic" by Buddhist pioneer Jack Kornfield. And, her book, Radical Dharma: Talking Race, Love & Liberation, has been inviting communities to have the grounded, real, hard conversations necessary to become more awake and aware of what hinders liberation of self and society. Known for her willingness to sit with and speak uncomfortable truths with love. Rev. angel notes, "Love and Justice are not two. Without inner change, there can be no outer change. Without collective change, no change matters.” And right now, we are in a moment where we need change, on every level, personal, interpersonal, cultural, and societal. Rev. angel was my guest on the show a number of years ago, and that led to a friendship that has been a true gift in my life. I wanted to invite her back both to explore her personal experience and evolution of thought around identity over the last few years, and also learn from her deeply wise, insightful and, for many, surprising lens on what it takes to step into this moment equipped for the quest for collective liberation.You can find Rev. angel Kyodo williams at: Instagram | WebsiteIf you LOVED this episode:You'll also love the conversations we had with Bishop Michael Curry about the healing power of love, even now.My new book is available for pre-order:Order Sparked: Discover Your Unique Imprint for Work that Makes You Come Alive and get your book bonuses!Check out our offerings & partners: Sleep Number: Adjustable firmness, comfort and support on each side.

Today, Ellen will wrap up this study on Love Is the Way by Bishop Michael Curry. The last question in the book is this - "Does love mean we must avoid politics?"

This episode continues the discussion about the importance of love as the essential path of evolving human consciousness. As Neale Donald Walsch conveyed the message in the book Conversations with God Book 4 - Awaken the Species, we humans must awaken to a higher level of consciousness if our species is to survive. We must come to know that everyone of us is part of a great oneness of life in the universe and begin to behave from that knowing. In this episode, I read excerpts from two books... The first is Love is the Way by Bishop Michael Curry, bishop of the American Episcopal church, and the second is We Consciousness by Karen Noe, a psychic and spiritual author and teacher. My intent in sharing from these books is to provide further context and insights about love and what it means to be and live love in the real world.Support the show (https://spiritualitybeckoning.com)

Today's question from Bishop Michael Curry's book Love Is the Way is "How can love overcome what divides us?" Ellen will lead us in understanding this question in light of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Here he speaks of his experience of loss and love at an early age, the call of the ministry, the humbling experience of his powerful sermon at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and why in the end, love is the only way.

In Episode Six, we conclude our study of the newly released book, Love is the Way, Holding on to Hope in Troubling Times by Bishop Michael Curry, the presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the US. We talk about the final chapters of the book and how it relates to transfiguration sunday, Valentine’s Day, and this moment in the history of our nation. We’re grateful to be joined again by church members Sharon Grady and Leslie Sheley, and Roger Butts.

Sometimes it feels like the world is irreparably broken. A climate crisis leading to more hurricanes, fires, and melting glaciers. A political season that has ripped families and friends apart. A pandemic that has left us more isolated than ever and even more delicate than before. Even the strongest among us may wonder, "What hope is there? Is love enough to save us?" My guest today is someone who believes in the kind of love that can change everything. In this episode, Kate and Bishop Michael Curry talk about the power of ordinary and extraordinary love to remake ourselves and our communities along with us.For show notes, transcripts, and discussion questions: https://katebowler.com/podcasts/bishop-michael-curry-the-power-of-ordinary-love/ To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The Most Reverend Michael Curry is presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, and in this episode, we talk about love. Messy, hard, complicated love. I ask him how we can transcend fear in a scarcity-based culture and what we can learn from those who came before us. We also talk about the church, how to develop beloved community, and the scrappy, gritty work of love that is my definition of faith. Plus, Bishop Curry shares his playlist, with one song that I really didn't expect. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

All 50 states, as well as Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico, have erupted in protest against systemic racism and police brutality. Meanwhile President Trump, calling protestors "weak" and "fools," used tear gas to clear a way for a photo-op in front of a church, holding a Bible but never opening it. #Activism's host, Mae Elise Cannon, is joined by Presiding Bishop Curry of The Episcopal Church to discuss what Christians are called to do when the oppressed are attacked by the state.

Rest is more than sleep or mindless consuming - it's a deep-seated principle and practice that God invites us to undertake for our own health and for the health of this fragile earth, our island home. In this episode, Bishop Michael Curry and hosts Kyle and Sandy discuss resting in and with the land. Just as we must remember to receive God's restoration ourselves, we also must let the creation rest and be restored. We hear from Lynnaia Main, The Episcopal Church's representative to the United Nations, discussing how we can adjust our mindsets from the fear of scarcity to joy at the abundance that surrounds us.  We also hear from the Rev. Nurya Love Parish, the founder of Plainsong Farm, talking about how we can incorporate the concept of Sabbath rest into communal life and the life of the creation itself.

Prayer is inviting and dwelling in God's loving presence - a practice that can sometimes be daunting, but is ultimately one of the most important things we do as Christians. Whether by boldly offering our thanksgivings and concerns to God, simply listening for God's voice in our lives, or infusing our work with prayer, we can find ourselves drawing nearer and nearer to him. In this episode, Bishop Michael Curry and hosts Kyle and Sandy discuss prayer on the Way of Love. Andrea McKellar and Bishop Curry share some prayerful practices that take place beyond the church walls, including hiking, neighborhood walks, and phone apps that can remind us to take time to come before God every day. We also hear from Roger Hutchison, Director of Christian Formation and Parish Life at Palmer Memorial Episcopal Church in Houston. An artist, writer, and lay leader, Roger describes how prayer informs and shapes his work - especially around grief, painting, and his newest offering, The Very Best Day: The Way of Love for Children (Church Publishing, January 2020).

When we go on the Way of Love, we cross boundaries, listen deeply, and live like Jesus. Whether God calls us to go across the street or across the world, we are sent beyond our circles and comfort to witness to the love, justice, and truth of God with our lips and with our lives. In this episode, Bishop Michael Curry and hosts Kyle and Sandy discuss “going” on the Way of Love. We learn about both sides of the practice: having the faith to step out into the world and being able to receive the gift of hospitality graciously. Bishop Curry tells a story of trust - about coming to understand that God is already present, wherever we are sent. We also hear from the Rev. Katie Nakamura Rengers, founder of The Abbey, a church and coffee shop ministry in the Avondale neighborhood of Birmingham, Alabama. We learn about the ways this community both serves and is served by loving neighbors -- neighbors who might be looking for more than an excellent cup of coffee.  Next week on the podcast: Praying with Our Bodies and Our Creativity Our theme and reflection music are by Ana Hernández.

When we worship, we gather with others before God. We hear the Good News of Jesus Christ, give thanks, confess, and offer the brokenness of the world to God. So many of our worship experiences take place within a church building - it can be hard to imagine worship without candles and stained glass and pews - but there are many ways we can bring worship out into the wider world, knowing that God is out there, too. In this episode, Bishop Michael Curry and hosts Kyle and Sandy discuss worshiping on the Way of Love: Gathering in community weekly to thank, praise, and dwell with God. Bishop Curry reflects on how we can show God's love boldly in our communities while also being respectful of neighbors who believe differently. We also hear from Hugo Olaiz, associate editor of Latino-Hispanic resources for Forward Movement. Hugo tells us about a worship experience that by definition occurs beyond the church walls: Las Posadas. He explains his own practices of Las Posadas and reflects on the witness this tradition makes possible: witness to the importance of hospitality, of community, and of the story of the Holy Family.

Just like the disciples who heard the call to turn from their fishing nets toward Jesus, we are each beckoned to reorient our lives to God, falling in love again, again, and again. But what exactly are we turning from? And what are we to turn toward? In this episode, Bishop Michael Curry and hosts Kyle and Sandy discuss turning on the Way of Love: pausing, listening, and choosing to follow Jesus. Bishop Curry reflects on people who are helping us to find a new way in society, assisting us as we turn from fear, anxiousness, desperation, and sin, back toward confidence, boldness, hope, and redemption. We also hear from Ruth Anderson and Greg Farrand of the Second Breath Center in Greensboro, N.C., where people who are “overloaded, overscheduled, overwhelmed and overstimulated” can step away and reorient their lives. Ruth and Greg offer tips and ideas to get started along that path as we bring ourselves back to the most important things in life.

When God's Word becomes ingrained in our lives, we can better see God's activity within and around us and others. We can then tell that story in ways that are authentic to us and that others can understand. In this episode, Bishop Michael Curry and hosts Kyle and Sandy discuss learning on the Way of Love: reflecting on Scripture each day, especially Jesus' life and teachings. We hear from Jerusalem Greer, staff officer for evangelism at The Episcopal Church, discussing how parents can share their faith with adult children. Later, Kyle and Sandy interview the Rev. Patricia Lyons, who uses popular cultural references and stories to help us recognize God at work in the world and in our lives.

If we were to distill the essence of the Christian faith, we would always come back to the reality of love – not as a sentimental feeling or a sugary concept – but as a disciplined and spiritual way of life.  In this episode, Bishop Michael Curry and hosts Kyle and Sandy discuss blessing on the Way of Love: sharing faith and unselfishly giving and serving. We can bless others – and be blessed ourselves! – through the gifts of our presence and relationships with our neighbors. We also hear from Greg Russinger, co-founder of Laundry Love. This nationwide ministry exists not only to encourage churches to care for others but to help churches walk with and get to know their neighbors who need laundry assistance. In walking with, caring for, and even doing laundry among our neighbors, all of us can be changed and blessed.

In this last episode of Season 1, we reflect on what it means to “Go”. As Jesus went to the highways and byways, he sends us beyond our circles and comfort, to witness to the love, justice, and truth of God with our lips and with our lives. We go to listen with humility and to join God in healing a hurting world. We go to become Beloved Community, a people reconciled in love with God and one another. In this episode, Bishop Curry teaches about living where the rubber meets the road, explaining how we can take all we've learned about the Way of Love and put it into action. Everywhere we go, we can follow and seek the living presence of Jesus. Hosts Kyle and Sandy discuss what Go has meant in their contexts - from walking to church services to serving jury duty. They also share exciting news about where Sandy is going next. Season 2 of The Way of Love with Bishop Michael Curry is coming in September.

More than simply going through a daily routine, prayer can be an opportunity to be authentic with God and ourselves, to connect with each other, and to be transformed. In this episode of The Way of Love with Bishop Michael Curry, we'll think about the many ways we can listen for and respond to God's voice in our lives and in the world. Kyle and Sandy interview the Rev. Canon Katie Churchwell, who started an online prayer ministry during the isolating, dangerous days of Hurricane Irma in Florida. Pop-Up Prayer continues today, having built an online community where people are committed to praying and growing together. How can we create a practice of prayer that works for us? Listen as we discuss methods of praying alone or in groups, aloud or silently, with words or with the thoughts of our hearts.
