In Luke 24 Jesus is recognized by his disciples only after having a meal with them at a table. Thousands of years later we are still realizing Christ's presence at our communion tables. Who's invited? Everyone! “If Jesus died for this kind of inclusion at the table, why would we constrict it after his death instead of expanding it? It's like saying: Only well people are allowed to receive God's medicine. We want everyone to come get the medicine except the sick—only whole people can receive the meal that mends all our brokenness.” David Fitch SONG CREDIT: Christ is Lower Still | Sanctuary Songs, The Porter's Gate
Opening Song: Nothing to Fear (https://open.spotify.com/track/4iI8AJDQSWb1j3zGzlno8a?si=eddb1131ad2c4331) by The Porter's Gate and Audrey Assad Lyrics: When you pass through the waters I will be with you And the depths of the rivers Shall not overwhelm When you walk through the fire You will not be burned I am the Lord I am the Lord And there is nothing to fear nothing to fear There is nothing to fear nothing to fear For I am with you always In the depths of your sorrow I wept beside you When you walked through the shadow I drew you near Yesterday today tomorrow Always the same I am the Lord I am the Lord What can separate you from my perfect love Do not fear do not fear do not fear Passage: When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue is parched with thirst, I the Lord will answer them; I the God of Israel will not forsake them. 18 I will open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys. I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. 19 I will put in the wilderness the cedar, the acacia, the myrtle, and the olive. I will set in the desert the cypress, the plane and the pine together, 20 that they may see and know, may consider and understand together, that the hand of the Lord has done this, the Holy One of Israel has created it. Musical Reflection: It Is Well With My Soul (VILLE DU HAVRE) by Philip Bliss Reflection Notes: A hymn born in tragedy, “It is Well” was penned by Horatio Spafford after hearing that his daughters had all perished in a shipwreck. Through this devastation, Spafford and his wife clung to the promise of God's goodness. Spafford's immortal words were set to music by his good friend and hymn writer, Philip Bliss; Bliss titled the tune “Ville du Havre” after the ship on which Spafford's children had died. Prayer: Father, what we know not, teach us; what we have not, give us; what we are not, make us; for the sake of your Son our Savior. Amen. -Old Anglican Prayer

Opening Song: Nothing to Fear (https://open.spotify.com/track/4iI8AJDQSWb1j3zGzlno8a?si=eddb1131ad2c4331) by The Porter's Gate and Audrey Assad Lyrics: When you pass through the waters I will be with you And the depths of the river shall not overwhelm When you walk through the fire you will not be burned I am the Lord, I am the Lord And there is nothing to fear, nothing to fear There is nothing to fear, nothing to fear For I am with you always In the depths of your sorrow I wept beside you When you walked through the shadow I drew you near And yesterday, today, tomorrow, always the same I am the Lord, I am the Lord And there is nothing to fear, nothing to fear There is nothing to fear, nothing to fear For I am with you always And there is nothing to fear, nothing to fear There is nothing to fear, nothing to fear For I am with you always What can separate you from My perfect Love? Do not fear Passage: 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 19 and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

Earthkeepers: A Circlewood Podcast on Creation Care and Spirituality
In this episode I'll be talking to Peter Fargo, co-founder of the Climate Vigil movement, and Isaac Wardell, co-founder of the Porter's Gate arts collective. We'll discuss the collaborative project created by these two organizations--a new Christian worship album called Climate Vigil Songs. This album (which we'll sample in this conversation) invites us to respond to climate change in ways that are meant to help us engage the challenges we face from spiritual perspectives, and even to understand creation care and earth advocacy as acts of worship.Guests: Peter Fargo - Climate Vigil ProjectIsaac Wardell - The Porter's Gate Worship ProjectClimate Vigil Songs album; (worship guide available via this link)Album press releaseSong: Good Lord Deliver UsSong: JubileeSong: The Kingdom is ComingMentions:The top hottest years globally fall within last 12 yearsJohn Lewis- U.S. Congressional representative and civil rights activistMartin Luther King Jr. - U.S. minister & civil rights activistJohn Swinton - theologian in Aberdeen ScotlandSong: All Creatures LamentPsalm 37 Keywords: Evangelical Church, climate denial, stewardship, Christian environmentalism, creation care, lament

Western thought and male leadership frequently dominate church spaces in the U.S., and this impacts how spiritual formation is typically taught. What if spiritual formation teachings were to be thoughtfully de-westernized? What if the voices of women had been uplifted historically in the Church? What difference does this make for moms of young children? Dr. Cindy Lee, a professor, preacher, author, and spiritual director with a PhD in Practical Theology and Spiritual Formation, unpacks these questions and more on today's episode. Cindy and Lisa also dive into the role of intergenerational community in motherhood, collective parenting, deeper meanings of spirituality and hospitality than what we may be used to, and what we learned from the scripture passage from Episode 8A about Anna and Simeon—spiritual grandparents of sorts—who meet Jesus as an 8-day-old baby.

When you are tasked to write songs that reflect your life and at the same time have those songs call people to justice - remembering that peacemaking without justice isn't unity - how do you do that? Paul Zach (Singer/Songwriter, The Porter's Gate) is doing just that. Our conversation today is one of how to engage honestly with what is happening in our world today and draw creativity from it. We also talk about how to pick up the Bible again after growing up with it being a weapon of shame and fear. If we can read the book differently, we can hope to see ourselves better. Paul Zach (www.paulzachmusic.com) is a lead songwriter for The Porter's Gate - an ecumenical group founded to help worship leaders respond theologically to the pressing questions of our times through the writing of new worship songs and the creation of new liturgical resources. Paul also has a new album out called "Hymns" which is streaming on Spotify and Apple Music. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/reconstructioncalls/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/reconstructioncalls/support
Right up front, we understand that “social justice” is a loaded term in Western Christian culture. The most important question though, is “Is it something that is good and honors God?” And if so, how do we pursue it in a way that's honoring to Him? Join us as we talk with Jesse Eubanks, Founder and Executive Director of Love Thy Neighborhood, about these and more questions regarding this often misunderstood but very important part of living faithfully before God and our fellow man.
