In this message from The Journey of Jesus series, Ps. Sean Booth unpacks Matthew 28:1–10 to show that Jesus Himself is our joy. Our joy isn't anchored in circumstance but in Christ, the One who redeems our past, strengthens us in the present, and calls us forward into His purpose. Through Philippians 3 and 4, we're reminded to press on, pursue His call, and share the joy of Jesus with others.

A giugno 2025 è stata depositata la sentenza nel processo a carico di Matteo Salvini per il caso Open Arms. I fatti risalgono all'estate del 2019, durante il governo Conte I – che cadrà di lì a poco proprio a causa di Salvini – ma i tempi della giustizia sono quelli che sono. Siamo andati a leggere le motivazioni di quella sentenza, che riguarda ancora una volta il confine tra l'azione politica e la giustizia. “Sentenze” è un podcast di Pagella Politica e Facta, scritto e prodotto da Giovanni Gasparini, avvocato, e Giovanni Zagni, giornalista e direttore dei due progetti di fact-checking.

In this message, Ps. Sean Booth unpacks Matthew 27:45–54 and the power of the cross, where darkness fell, the veil tore, and Jesus declared the saving work finished. At the cross, sin is judged, freedom is won, and grace, healing, and hope are released. Through Christ's sacrifice we are forgiven, restored, and invited to live in the fullness of God's presence.

In this message from Matthew 27, Ps. Brian Somerville shows how the journey of Jesus toward the cross becomes our journey toward healing. Where Peter's faith collapses and hope seems lost, Joseph of Arimathea steps out of secrecy and into courageous faith. Scripture reveals a pattern: healing begins not when we run from pain, but when we bring it honestly before God. Discover how turning toward your wounds, rather than away from them, becomes the very path where restoration, hope, and renewed faith are found.  

In this message from Matthew 26:17–30, Pastor Brian Somerville shows how Jesus becomes our New Passover, the perfect Lamb who brings true freedom, not from Egypt, but from sin. Through His blood, judgement passes over us, redemption is secured, and we are invited into a new covenant of grace. Discover what it means to live as God's redeemed people: forgiven, strengthened for the journey, and confident in the hope of His promise.

In this message from Matthew 24:1–14, Ps. Sean explores how Jesus revealed the signs of the end times and the reality of His coming. Where nations rise against nations, false prophets deceive, and love grows cold, Jesus calls us to remain vigilant, steadfast in faith, and focused on eternity. Discover how living with an eternal perspective means staying ready for His return, proclaiming the Gospel to all nations, and living holy, Godly lives in anticipation of the glorious appearing of our Lord.

In this message, Pastor Sean shares a powerful word from Matthew 25 about what it truly means to steward the significance God has placed within you. Part of our Journey to Jesus series through the Gospel of Matthew, this message challenges us to see our gifts, opportunities, and influence not as our own but as something entrusted to us by God for His purpose and glory.

Head Cheer and Dance Coach Bailey Davis dives into the story of Joseph to remind us that God's arms are always open wide, waiting for us to return home to him.

In this message from Matthew 22, Ps. Alan unpacks the Parable of the Wedding Banquet, where Jesus reveals the heart of God's invitation to His kingdom. While many are invited, few are chosen, not because the invitation is limited, but because the response is lacking. In a world content with surface religion and self-made righteousness, Jesus calls us to be clothed in what only He can provide. Discover how true discipleship means accepting God's invitation, receiving His righteousness, and living ready for the King's celebration.

In this message from Matthew 23:1-12, Ps. Brian Somerville explores how Jesus redefined leadership through love, humility, and service. While the Pharisees sought position, praise, and public recognition, Jesus modelled a kingdom way, one that leads through surrender, not status. Where religion exalted pride, Jesus elevated people; where leaders demanded honour, He chose to serve. Discover how true leadership flows from love, valuing dignity over dominance, compassion over control, and destiny over the desire for approval. Learn what it means to lead from love, following the One who humbled Himself to lift others higher.

Analizamos las últimas voxadas: el boicot de diputados de Vox al minuto de silencio por Gaza en el Parlament balear, los llamamientos a “hundir” al Open Arms y la normalización del odio en redes, las donaciones ocultas que salvan al partido de sanciones y la enésima cesión del PP en Madrid con la propuesta sobre el falso “síndrome postaborto”. Un repaso crítico a la deriva autoritaria y ultra que amenaza derechos y libertades en España.

In this message from Matthew 21:12–22, we explore how Jesus confronted nominal religion and revealed that radical faith is the new normal in His kingdom. Where the temple had traded God's presence for profit, the priests restrained praise, and Israel rejected its purpose, Jesus calls us back to authentic worship, surrendered praise, and true kingdom purpose. Discover how radical faith means choosing the Person over the place, praise over preferences, and purpose over personal comfort.

On Guard With Open Arms – Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. - Jesus Christ

This week, pastor Brian shares a powerful message from Matthew 20:29–34. In this passage, the blind men refuse to let the crowd silence them and their persistence brings them face to face with Jesus. Pastor Brian reminds us that the crowds follow Jesus, not the other way around. In the same way, we must not let external voices of opinion or internal voices of fear and anxiety control us. Instead, we fix our focus on Jesus.

Ps. Sean Booth unpacks why God values obedience more than sacrifice. Through the story of the wealthy young man and Samuel's words, we're reminded that true discipleship isn't about good works, but full surrender to Christ. Obedience may cost us, but it leads to freedom and eternal life.

Hoy comenzamos analizando la nueva -o no tan nueva- relación entre Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea. La llegada de Donald Trump a la Casa Blanca ha supuesto una reformulación, que va más allá de las formas, de las relaciones internacionales. En uno de los últimos capítulos, la administración Trump ha amenazado a España con "graves consecuencias" de no alcanzar el 5 por ciento de incremento del gasto militar. También hablamos sobre la partida del Open Arms desde el puerto Barcelona con rumbo a Gaza. Varias personalidades del mundo de la política, el activismo y el ecologismo se han embarcado para pedir el fin del genocidio. Mientras tanto, otros políticos como Santiago Abascal han declarado que "habría que hundir el Open Arms". Por último, analizamos el incremento del discurso xenófobo en la política española propulsado precisamente por Vox. Con Pedro García-Bilbao y José Luís Carretero. Conduce Juan Carlos Barba.

Hace dos días, Santiago Abascal, líder de Vox, escribía en X: "Ese barco de negreros hay que confiscarlo y HUNDIRLO. Para que sirva de advertencia de cuál va a ser el final que les espera a todos los multimillonarios y políticos que promuevan la invasión de Europa", en referencia al Open Arms. Oscar Camps, director y fundador de la ONG, advierte sobre la peligrosidad de estos mensajes en Las Mañanas de RNE con Lara Hermoso: "Cuando alguien pide hundir un barco que salva vidas, está revelando no solo el desprecio por la dignidad humana, sino también nos recuerda a un discurso de los momentos más oscuros de la Historia"."Cuando un líder político normaliza la violencia verbal contra quienes defendemos los derechos humanos, está abriendo una puerta a que otros puedan justificar ataques reales", prosigue Camps. En estos momentos hay un barco de Open Arms atracado en Santa Cruz de Tenerife por la firma del convenio de colaboración con el Gobierno canario, y planean desplegarse al menos dos meses en aguas del archipiélago. El entrevistado afirma que está ilusionados: "Para nosotros significa ampliar nuestra mirada. Llevamos diez años en el Mediterráneo y ahora podemos acercar a la sociedad isleña la realidad de todo lo que ocurre en la ruta atlántica, que no es poco. Es una ruta mortífera, larga, durísima y muy poco conocida", dice. Escuchar audio

The bible tells us in 2nd Peter chapter 1, that God has already given us all we need. As Christians, many of us know about this verse, but we don't know this verse. In a world that teaches us to get more and tells us we don't have enough, does this promise from God still stand?  Give this sermon a listen to find out.  

Life is full of uncertainty, fear, and moments that can shake us to the core. But in John 14, Jesus reminds us: “Let not your hearts be troubled.” In this message, we'll discover how to find peace that goes beyond circumstance and a hope that cannot be shaken, because our confidence is in Christ alone.

They say it's not what you know, but who you know. In this week's message, Ps. Brian unpacks the power of relationships, divine connections, and how knowing the right Person, Jesus, can change everything."

Trent Hill-8/10/25-Open Arms

Pastor Alan Fay unpacks a moment in Acts where Paul, on trial for his faith, is accused of being “out of his mind.” Alan challenges listeners with a bold truth: to truly believe and live out the gospel may look crazy to the world but it's even crazier not to. Discover why following Jesus requires a radical shift in thinking and why the so-called “foolishness” of the gospel is actually the wisest choice you can make.

In this message from Isaiah 43, Ps. Brian Somerville speaks to the moments when staying stuck is no longer an option. God is doing a new thing, but to see it, you have to let go of what was. It's not just about moving forward; it's about trusting that what's ahead is greater than what's behind. It's time to move on.

In this message by Matthew Craig, we dive into the story of Gideon and the Midianites, a powerful reminder that victory doesn't come from our strength, but God's. When the odds are stacked against you, God often shows up in unexpected ways to prove His power. Your weakness might just be the setup for His glory.

In this timely message, Ps. Brian Somerville unpacks a pivotal moment from the Gospel of Matthew, what he calls a Messiah Moment. It's the kind of moment that shifts everything, where revelation meets response.

In this stirring message, Ps. Brian Somerville. challenges the difference between religion and relationship. Drawing from the Gospel of Matthew, we confront the traditions that often get in the way of true transformation. It's not about performance, it's about presence. Sometimes, losing your religion is exactly what it takes to find Jesus.

In this powerful message from Matthew 14, Ps. Sean Booth explores a question many overlook: How does Peter get back onto the boat? Through Peter's story, we discover a deeper truth: failure doesn't disqualify you from walking again. Whether you've stumbled, sunk, or strayed, God still calls you to rise. This is your moment. This is your time to walk again.

Lactation support should not be based on income bracket, however it frequently is.  In this episode Katie Oshita and Elizabeth Montez-Garcia discuss how non-profit programs, such as Open Arms in Washington, can support indigenous families with lactation support.  Podcast Guest: Elizabeth Montez (ILC, IBCLC) is an Anishinaabe and Latine lactation consultant, educator, and community organizer working at the intersection of Indigenous perinatal health, family wellness, and systems change. She is the founder of Flower Moon Families, offering direct lactation care, education, and culturally grounded support to families across Northern Michigan while also expanding access to education and care across Turtle Island. Elizabeth brings years of experience as Community Education Specialist and Clinical Lactation Lead at Open Arms Perinatal Services, where she has built upon the vision of Camie Goldhammer, MSW, IBCLC (Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate), who created the lactation program, by developing an IBLCE Pathway One educational and mentorship opportunity for rising lactation professionals of color.Elizabeth serves as the Indigenous Breastfeeding Community Liaison for Michigan WIC and as a board member at large for South East Michigan IBCLCs of Color.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter guides us through day 150 of our journey, exploring Proverbs chapters 10-12 and Romans chapter 10. Together, we reflect on wisdom, integrity, generosity, and Paul's reminder that God's arms are always open to us. Hunter encourages us to embrace the love God freely offers, live a life rooted in gratitude, and share that thankfulness with those around us. Join us for a time of scripture, prayer, and reflection as we discover how God's love transforms our daily lives. Let's dive in! TODAY'S DEVOTION: Open Arms I love how Paul ends his chapter where he says, regarding Israel, All day long, I have opened my arms to them. Open arms. That's the picture Paul wants to leave us with. God's arms are open, always embracing, always drawing us in, always pursuing us, all day long. And, of course, it is entirely right for us to make the application not only for Israel, but for us, for the world. God's arms are open all day long. And, of course, that is revealed in its most perfect expression in the life of our Lord Jesus—his arms spread wide open on that cross, embracing the world. For God so loved the world that he gave himself. My prayer today is that I will live each and every day of my life fully aware, fully convinced, fully embracing the God who has embraced me. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Almighty and ever loving god, you have brought us to the light of a new morning. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your holy spirit that we may walk this day in peace. Guard our steps from temptation. Shield us from the weight of fear and shame, and lead us deeper into the joy of your presence through Jesus Christ our lord. Amen. Oh Christ, light of the nations, shine in every place where shadows dwell. Call the scattered home. Heal the wounds of division, and gather all people into the communion of your grace. May the knowledge of the lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amen. And now, lord, make my hands ready for mercy. Make my eyes quick to see the hurting, my ears open to the cry of the lonely, and my feet swift to bring good news. Let me seek to bless, not to be noticed, to serve, not to be praised, to forgive, not to hold back. For in your way is life, in your mercy is healing, and in your love is the peace this world cannot give. Amen. And now as our lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2021 conversation with Steve Perry. ABOUT STEVE PERRYOne of the most iconic voices in rock music history, Steve Perry is best known as the lead singer of the band Journey during the group's most successful period. His first Top 20 pop hit as either a performer or songwriter was the solo-written “Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin',” which became a hit for the band in 1979. In the following decade he co-wrote an unbelievable streak of classic songs with Neil Shon and Jonathan Cain, including “Any Way You Want It,” “Who's Crying Now,” “Open Arms,” “Separate Ways,” ”Send Her My Love,” and “Don't Stop Believin',” a single that's been certified five times platinum. His 1984 debut solo album Street Talk produced the classic singles “Oh Sherrie” and “Foolish Heart.” After penning additional Journey hits “Be Good to Yourself,” “Girl Can't Help It,” and “I'll be Alright Without You” he departed the band and released his second solo album, For the Love of Strange Medicine, featuring the single “You Better Wait.” After briefly reuniting with Journey and co-writing the additional hits “When You Love a Woman” and “Message of Love” in the mid-1990s, he stepped away from recording. Steve returned in 2018 with his third solo album, Traces. In 2021 he released his fourth solo record, a holiday collection called The Season, produced by Steve and Thom Flowers, and featuring contributions from multi-instrumentalist Dallas Kruse. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, whom Rolling Stone magazine named among the “100 Greatest Singers of All Time” joins us to talk about exploring the great American Christmas songbook from a writer's perspective, to share some stories about his own songs, and to offer some insight into his approach to the craft.

In this powerful episode, we explore the emotional and often unseen journey of a mother's love. Sheryl Marazzo is a force of nature—fierce, steady, and filled with a bright hope. Living a life woven with heartbreak and tragedy, her resilience and sheer will drove her to find happiness and peace right alongside the unimaginable. As a mom to three children—one living with a rare disease, one a rare disease carrier, and one battling addiction—she brings honesty, humor, and deep heart to a conversation about survival, sacrifice, and the unexpected ways we figure out how to keep going. A long-time advocate and nonprofit founder, Sheryl's story is framed by Duchenne muscular dystrophy, but beyond labels and medical conditions, hers is simply a story about being fully human.
