Guest host Bill Mixon speaks with Lee Thalhimer of City with Dwellings and Pastor Carter Ferguson about the growing reality of homelessness in Forsyth County. They discuss the hidden struggles behind the statistics—and the hope that compassion and community can bring.

Recently my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Dr. Hannes Gröller and I traveled to the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument to install two night sky meters which will enable this wonderful national treasure to become an international dark sky park. Surrounded by vast tracts of unoccupied public land and having an abundance of clear weather the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument and the Cosmic Campground International Dark Sky Sanctuary both in New Mexico are among the best places in the world to view the natural night sky.

Sam Carter preaches the Sunday evening service with his sermon titled "God's Plan for the Dwelling of Man."

In this episode, we step into 2 Chronicles 6–7 where Solomon responds to God's faithfulness with worship, humility, and a heartfelt prayer for the people of Israel. As the Temple is dedicated and filled with God's glory, we see how the Temple itself points forward to something greater: God's eternal presence with His people.Themes of this podcast: God's faithfulness invites our worship and dependence. God has fulfilled His promises—from dwelling among His people to establishing the Temple and Solomon's reign. In response, Solomon bows in worship, recognizing that God alone is the source of every good thing. Remembering God's faithfulness will naturally lead us to humility, gratitude, and trust.Prayer and repentance sustain the covenant relationship. Whether facing personal injustice, national defeat, or exile, the Israelites are invited to return to God through repentance. This foreshadows the New Covenant truth that God always hears the cries of a repentant heart.This earthly Temple foreshadow God's eternal presence. The Temple dedication was glorious, but even Solomon acknowledged God cannot be contained in buildings. From the Tabernacle to the Temple to the Church, every dwelling place of God points forward to His ultimate plan: our eternal home with Him.Show Notes:BlogFeasts and Festivals in the BibleWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address.

Our Dwelling Place | Psalm 90 by Christ Church Presbyterian

Luke 9:51-62When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem. And he sent messengers ahead of him. On their way they entered a village of the Samaritans to prepare for his arrival, but they did not receive him because his face was set toward Jerusalem. When his disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?” But he turned and rebuked them. Then they went on to another village.As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” And Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” Another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home.” And Jesus said to him, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.” Jesus would have been a terrible pastor. And I am not the first pastor or preacher to say such a thing. Most pastors, yours included, work very hard to make things comfortable. When you come here, things are orderly and neat, (have you met pastor mark?). We do our best to explain what's going on, where things are, and how to get involved (if you want to). We hope the worship is satisfying, the music gratifying, and the preaching not a snore. We want people to know this is a place where you are cared for. So we make sure Christian education is appealing and diverse in it's offerings; there is plenty of opportunity for fellowship and meals together; and we do some service, but not too much. In all, we try to give people what they want, without too many demands — after all, it's not like we can compete with sports or packed family calendars.Jesus is the opposite. I imagine if Jesus were a pastor and greeted you at the door, he wouldn't say, “I'm so glad you've joined us,” but more like, “Are you sure you want to do this?” That's essentially what he says to the would-be disciples in Luke. Jesus is walking toward Jerusalem when someone says, “Wherever you go, I'll follow!” You can almost hear Jesus say, “You don't even know what you're saying. Creatures of earth and sky have homes — not me. Are you ready to be homeless?” We don't know how the young man responds. But I know how I would — and I'm guessing you do too.And so it is with the other two would-be disciples. Jesus tells one not to bury his father. What kind of lunatic says that? Especially in a culture where honoring one's parents was a sacred obligation. Surely Jesus can't be saying that following him is greater than the traditions of their culture? Surely he isn't telling us we can't attend funerals or grieve those we love.And is it really a big deal that the third person wants to say goodbye? That doesn't seem like an unreasonable request? I mean of course he would come rushing back to Jesus, right? A quick hug to mom, maybe one more meal, a good night's rest, and then he'll be ready. But Jesus says “you'll only make crooked furrows and that's no good in the Kingdom of God”. You see what I mean that Jesus wouldn't make a good pastor? Here are people throwing themselves at Jesus and his response is “are you sure? Because this is going to cost you.” It will cost you your comfort; it will cost you the traditions and obligations you hold so dearly, it will cost you whatever or whoever it was waiting for you back home. We don't want to hear that. I don't want to preach that! It would be easier to stand up and say we are doing so well. Instead of a discipleship at all cost, we much prefer discipleship at little to no cost. We want Jesus, myself included, to sound like a used car salesman, reaffirming that this life of faith can be ours with little to no money down! We want discipleship on demand — where we hit pause when something else comes up, and resume when time allows. After all isn't there grace?! And here among all places, isn't grace offered with no string attached? But when grace becomes an excuse to avoid commitment — when it asks nothing of us — it turns into what Bonhoeffer called “cheap grace. “Cheap grace is that grace which we bestow on ourselves. Cheap grace is preaching forgiveness without repentance; it is baptism without the disciple of community; it is the Lord's Supper without the confession of sin; it is absolution with out personal confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without the living, incarnate Jesus Christ”. Rather what Jesus offers to the would-be disciples and to us is a costly grace. It is costly because it will cost us comfort — but it is grace, because we follow Jesus.It is costly because it will upend our lives — but it is grace, because it offers life to the full, here and now.It is costly because we will lose relationships — but it is grace, because it leads us into deeper communion with others and with GodI want to be clear. Discipleship is not how much one goes to church. I don't think Jesus is saying discipleship means you must be homeless, or that you can't grieve a loved one, or doubt what you're doing. But I also don't want to chalk this up to hyperbole and say, “Nice try — at least there's grace.” Grace isn't an excuse; it's a catalyst. Discipleship will cost us. So what is the cost — for you, in your life, right now? And what might it cost us, together, as a community of faith?What comfort might this costly grace afflict?What obligations are you asked to let go of?What relationships need reordered?In Winston-Salem, I saw costly grace embodied. The Dwelling is a church made up of — and for — people who live on the margins. Folks who are homeless or have been. People wrestling with addiction. Just out of incarceration. Some from nearby low-income housing. A few who looked like you and me. When we got to the dwelling for worship, their sanctuary looked nothing like ours. Think more living room, less cathedral. It was packed with people who walked in from the street, bags and dogs in tow. People would yell, sometimes at no one, sometimes at someone, sometimes playful, sometimes not. We ate breakfast together. But the smell of the egg casserole was not enough to mask the scent of sweat and smoke that filled the space. Worship began once seconds were finished, around 11ish, but no one sets their watch by it. And if you think our second service is loud… People held conversations, left, came back in, moved about at their leisure. But they also clapped and danced, and yell affirmations during the sermon and prayers. Did I mention it too is an ELCA church?After worship, they gathered for another meal, waiting in a long line on the blacktop as the North Carolina sun beat down. With early 2000s pop blasting from a speaker, the servers danced with abandon as they dished up a thoroughly southern lunch for over 200 people. And that's what every Sunday is like. [return to screen].It is uncomfortable, especially for those of us who expect church to look, feel, smell, and sound more like this. It breaks many traditions of worship, programming, and education, especially for a Lutheran congregation. And it has cost them relationships. People won't worship there because they think it could be unsafe, or they can't tolerate the smell, or there's no Sunday School. Yet as I sat in worship — clearly the minority in all sorts of ways — I saw costly grace. It was messy and beautiful, hard and joy-filled. But that's discipleship.And at our best, I believe we embrace costly grace in faithful ways for our context. It sounds like raising hard questions and concerns about the dangers of Christian Nationalism. It looks like showing up at Pride with a booth and a message: that God's love is for all — especially those who've been told it's not. It means addressing the history and ongoing injustice caused by racism. It feels like giving a significant portion of our money away each and every year to people and places that need it. These things make us uncomfortable. They reorder our obligations. They challenge our traditions. And yes — they have cost us relationships. But isn't that what Jesus said discipleship would look like?Discipleship is costly, Jesus is very honest about that. But he asks nothing of us that he hasn't already done for us.Maybe that's why he would have been a terrible pastor — but the perfect Savior. And thank God for that. Amen.

In this message, Andrew explores Exodus 25–27, revealing how God's detailed instructions for the tabernacle reflect His desire to dwell intimately among His people. The tabernacle was more than a tent; it was a portable Eden, a sacred space where heaven and earth touched, designed not only for God's glory but for the transformation of His people. Each element, from the Ark of the Covenant to the lampstand, pointed to God's invitation for communion, beauty, and daily faithfulness. Andrew draws a line from this ancient dwelling place to Jesus, the true atonement cover, who makes relationship with God fully accessible. The call now is for God's people to consecrate their whole lives—not just religious spaces—as dwelling places for His presence. Holiness isn't about legalism but about becoming the kind of people who can host God's glory, preparing both individually and as a community to reflect His love and advance His kingdom in a world desperate for redemption.

In this episode of The Leader's Journey Podcast, Jim sits down with Houston-area pastor Melissa Emerson to explore what it means to live faithfully in the midst of deep church change. After stepping into leadership of Mosaic Community Covenant Church following her father's sudden passing, Melissa and her husband have led their community through a nomadic, experimental journey—redefining what church can be in the most diverse suburb in the U.S. With honesty, wisdom, and a heart for justice, Melissa shares what it's been like to shed institutional expectations, rediscover community, and follow the Spirit's leading in uncharted territory. If you've ever felt disillusioned with “church as usual,” or if you're discerning a new way forward, this conversation offers courage and clarity for the road ahead. Melissa Lee Emerson is a third generation Chinese American woman co-pastoring Mosaic Community Covenant Church with her husband. Mosaic meets at a YMCA in the most diverse suburban county in the United States. Passionate about the intersection of faith and justice, Melissa dedicates her energy to the church, to Mosaic Learning Center, and raising her two daughters. She has a masters of divinity from North Park Theological Seminary with an emphasis on intercultural ministry and a bachelors in psychology with an emphasis on sociology and human development. She enjoys multicultural learning spaces and trips, especially if food is involved.  Conversation Overview: The shift from institutional church to a nomadic, mission-focused church Creative approaches to discernment  Developing missional partnerships Embracing Unlearning Rebuilding culture: resisting performance-driven worship and prioritizing outreach The role of emotional maturity, spiritual formation, and slowing down in adaptive leadership   Resources:  Mosaic Covenant Community Church Unlikely Nomads: In Search of the New Church by Terry Walling A prophetic and pastoral look at the shifting landscape of the North American Church and how leaders are navigating toward new expressions of faith.
