What if descent wasn't something to fear, but a sacred invitation — to soften, to surrender, to remember who we truly are beneath the noise? This conversation with Carly Mountain felt like sitting beside a fire, slowly warming the parts of ourselves we've hidden away. With tenderness and deep wisdom, Carly guides us into the mythic, sensual, and often-forgotten terrain of the body, of feminine cycles, of descent and rising. This is a conversation about remembering — not just with the mind, but with the whole body. It stayed with me long after we stopped recording. I hope it touches you, too.Carly Mountain is a writer, author of the book Descent and Rising, psychotherapist and initiatory guide. She facilitates women and the people who love them, to remember, reclaim and reconnect with their sensual, emotional, embodied aliveness and instinctual knowing that is rooted in the earth. She draws on twenty years of embodied practice, training and space holding and has a trauma informed approach.In this conversation we explored:

I have a feeling hymnals are going to make a comeback, and I think church health may depend on it.In an age of screens, people are craving things they can hold that are low-tech. Research has shown that singing together lowers stress, synchronizes heartbeats, and helps to build connection. Hymnals serve as a connection point that we can touch, share, and hold in common. They are bulwarks that don't change year to year. They don't chase trends, and they only contain content that has stood the test of time, well beyond the four-year lifespan of the CCLI top 100.Hymnals help us remember what we believe. We remember words more easily when a tune is attached to them. Hymns are, and have always been, sound theology set to music (which is not to say that a few stinkers haven't crept through). Hymnals mostly contain sound theology that we can sing together, which isn't one-size-fits-all, and is not produced by a handful of trendy megachurches.Hymnals unite us, making all generations a part of the same song.As a hospital chaplain, I'm with dying people every single day. I can tell you that at the end of life, the songs people sing are the ones that matter; songs with depth and substance. They sing hymns, and if not hymns, songs that they learned in the company of other believers that function like a hymn. They sing their theology, their beliefs about life, death, and God. Those songs rarely make an appearance on the top 100 charts. I wonder if this might be because hymnals are a way of remembering important things that last, and the main problem with new songs is that they have not yet been tested by time, but I still want them to continue being written. It is always interesting to see what lasts.Blessings,Rick Lee James This is a public episode.

"I'll tell you everything I know. Though there might not be much to tell," confesses the speaker in Strange Hymn: Poems (U Mass Press, 2025) by Carlene Kucharczyk, in a meticulously crafted lyrical journey exploring morality and humanity. The poems here grapple with understanding physical loss: "I wanted / to know at once and definitively our animal bodies / were not all we were. It is shameful to be this fragile." They also engage with the more abstract slipping away of memory and time: "Since I was born, I have been forgetting. Forgetting what I have wanted to remember." Kucharczyk's insightful poems blur the lines between history and myth, love and grief, song and silence.Caught between lamenting the passage of time and rejoicing in small beauties, she writes, "I tell you, I wish we could stay here longer / in this hotel of lost grandeur, this palace of interesting disarray, / and stay here with these pieces of the impersonal past / that have somehow not yet outlasted their small lights." Each moment reflects on our ephemeral lives from musings on art and nature to reflections on the self, asking "Is a mirror a sort of glass house? / And, is there a way to see ourselves besides through the glass?"As readers traverse this collection, they learn how the body sings, the many iterations of Mary, what sirens truly think of Odysseus, how a Morning Glory unfurls, and lessons in orthodontics, but most importantly, how to live with absence. Kucharczyk is a master of manipulating time and space through her dynamic use of form, creating a narrative that begs, "After I'm gone, don't bury my body-- / Burn it, and turn it into song."

In this episode, Camden Bucey sits down with Carlton Wynne and Marc Harrington at the Reformation and Worship Conference hosted by Midway PCA. Together they reflect on the beauty and theological significance of Reformed worship—where form and content work together to glorify God. The conversation explores how music shapes the soul, why pastors must think theologically about song selection, and how the unity and maturity of the church depend on maintaining the fixed truth of Scripture. From discussions of Scott Aniol's lecture on music that accords with sound doctrine to Wynne's reflections on doctrinal immutability, the episode reminds us that worship is not mere performance—it's the embodied response of the redeemed to the unchanging God. The conversation concludes with reflections on confessional fidelity, the training of pastors, and the importance of cultivating a love for Reformed unity grounded in truth.

This week we will be celebrating Reformation in our weekend worship. Reformation highlights those who have fought against error which the devil seeks to sow in the church and its teaching, and the need for Christians to continue that fight still today. The hymn that we are studying this week is Luther's famous "A Mighty Fortress" which has as many as 80 different English translations, and has encouraged Christians for over 500 years. The hymn was written in the late 1520's during a very dark time in Germany. War, plague, sickness, and religious oppression surrounded the LORD's church there. In this turmoil, Luther turned to the LORD and the promises found in His word. He took comfort in the words of the Psalmist: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble… The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress” (Psalm 46:1,6-7). Luther reminds God's people then and now of the LORD's power which is greater than that of every enemy we might face. The old evil foe? Devils eager to devour us? “We tremble not, we fear no ill.” “He can harm us none. He's judged; the deed is done.” Jesus -- the One whom God Himself elected, the Sabaoth Lord, the Valiant One -- is on our side, and fights for us! “The Kingdom ours remaineth.” Thanks be to God that we can have confidence in His work for us In Jesus, that our sins are forgiven, and that He is greater than every enemy we will face, including the devil himself! This weekend as we thank God for His promise that His Church and His Word will not fail, and as we rejoice in those who fought for that truth in the past and as He gives us strength to fight that fight still today. Join us in our worship as we unite our voices to sing our confidence in God based on Psalm 46!

In Philippians 2:5-11, Paul stops writing a letter and starts writing a Hymn. Face-to-face with Jesus, he can do nothing but worship his humility, obedience, and glorious Lordship. Paul has been patiently admonishing his brothers and sisters in Philippi to stop living as citizens of Rome and start living as citizens of heaven - this is his why, or rather his who: the glorious Christ who is humility incarnate.

This week we will be considering the confidence that we have in the one true God. We will study in particular the confidence that He gives us in the privilege of prayer. But "prayer" to any god is not really prayer. Only prayer addressed to the one and only God is true prayer. Our final hymn will emphasize the nature of that one true God, in whom we have absolute confidence and to whom we pray. This is hymn 541, O Blessed Holy Trinity in The Lutheran Hymnal. This hymn by Lutheran pastor Martin Behm, is both a prayer to the true God AND and confession of who that true God is. The hymn is based primarily on the Aaronic and Pauline blessings of the Old and New Testament. These blessings highlight the nature of what the Christian Church has called the "Triune" God. Both of these blessings bring out the three-fold nature of the true God. The Aaronic blessing (the blessing given to Aaron in the Old Testament) states: "The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace." (Numbers 6:24-26). The Pauline blessing (the blessing used by the Apostle Paul) says: "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen" (2 Corinthians 13:14). The stanzas of Behm's hymn develop and utilize these two Bible verses and what they tell us about God. He is three in person, but one in essence. The Triune God is Father and Maker, Son and Redeemer, and Holy Spirit and Comforter. This God has created and preserves us, protects us, instructs and cheers us, and illuminates and keeps us in the faith. The hymn, which was written just under a hundred years after the start of the Reformation, also draws from and beautifully incorporates Luther's Morning Prayer in stanza 2. Luther wrote: In the name of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen. I thank You, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have kept all harm and danger away from me last night; and I pray that You would also protect me today from sin and every evil, that my life and all my behavior may please You. Into Your hands I entrust my body and soul and everything else. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the devil may have no power over me. Amen. There is inestimable value in knowing the true God and having absolute confidence in His power, love and mercy. There is joy in our ability to come to the true God in prayer, knowing that He can and will answer according to our need and His will for us. We worship and serve a wonderful God! Join us this weekend to be assured of that confidence and to blend our voices together to sing praise to Father, Son and Holy Spirit for all that our God does, has done and will do for you!

In this powerful episode of Hope for the Caregiver, Peter Rosenberger shares a deeply personal story from Aurora, Colorado — a chance encounter with a frightened young woman that turned into a moment of grace and truth. Instead of debating or preaching, Peter reminded her of a truth many caregivers and wounded souls need to hear: “You are worth protecting.” Drawing from Hebrews 7:25, he reflects on Christ's ongoing intercession for us and calls listeners to join Him by offering compassion to those who are hurting — even when their pain looks different from our owntranscript_2025-10-14T16_37_22.…. Peter is then joined by psychologist and fellow caregiver Dr. Barry Jacobs, author of The Caregiver Answer Book. Together they unpack the emotional weight of caregiving — deferred grief, family conflict, sibling rivalries, and the burnout that comes when caregivers try to “muscle through.” Jacobs urges caregivers to acknowledge their grief, be kind to themselves, and even reclaim joy, reminding them there's no such thing as a perfect caregiver — only “good enough” ones who show up with lovetranscript_2025-10-14T16_37_22.…transcript_2025-10-14T16_37_22.….
