The hardest part is often the waiting. Sometimes it seems as if God is not at work and nothing is happening in your life and you wonder if God is doing anything at all. But what if this season of waiting is not a sign of God's absence, but the very place he is doing his most profound and necessary work in you? In this sermon on Genesis 39:21–40:23, Pastor Luke Herche invites us to see that even when God's promises seem on hold, God is at work in the waiting, present with his people and preparing for things to come. Jesus endured delay and experienced God's absence before receiving God's kingdom, and we can now endure with hope that God is with us and at work, whatever may come. Part of a series on the book of Genesis. From Sunday Worship, September 28, 2025. ------------------------------- Want to go deeper? Take some time to reflect on the sermon with the following questions: Which moments or details in Joseph's story did you find most striking or relatable, and why? What emotions does the scene in the prison stir in you? This passage wrestles with what it feels like when God's promises seem on hold. What thoughts or reactions come up for you in seasons where life feels slow, stuck, or silent? The sermon highlighted how God is at work in the waiting—even when we can't see it. How does that truth land with you? When have you experienced God's presence in an unexpected or unremarkable season? In what area of your life are you currently waiting, or feel forgotten, overlooked or sidelined? How does the gospel help you wait with hope, trusting that God is with you and preparing you—even now? ------------------------------- allsoulspca.org All Souls (Urbana, IL) is a part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a Christian, Reformed denomination with historic and theological roots in the Protestant Reformation.

Church leaders are continuing to publicly apologise to survivors of abuse. The Presbyterian Church is the latest to address it in two public apology events, the first was in Dunedin at the weekend and the next is in Auckland this Saturday. It’s the latest in a series of public apologies from church and public sector leaders after the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care. Over five years of investigations, the inquiry heard nearly 3000 survivor accounts of abuse and neglect over five years of investigations. The more than 130 recommendations focused on creating a new, independent redress system, strengthening the care system, and holding institutions accountable. Today on The Front Page, lawyer Amanda Hill has represented Abuse in Care survivors and is with us to explain how the process is working, and how it’s not.

Church Real Estate and Finance, with Mark Elsdon

The church is so much more than a building—but when it comes to managing the physical property of church real estate, we often overlook the great good that can emerge from the land and structures. In this episode, social entrepreneur, strategic executive, and author Mark Elsdon joins Mark Labberton on Conversing to explore how churches and faith communities can reimagine their assets—land, buildings, and money—as instruments for mission, community transformation, and spiritual flourishing. From his decades of work at Pres House in Madison, Wisconsin, to his role as consultant, author, and co-leader of RootedGood, Elsdon shares stories of innovation, courage, and the hard but hopeful work of repurposing property and resources for God's mission in the world. Episode Highlights “It isn't about property, nor is it about money. It's about people's lives and it's about God's work in people's lives.” “We often have the faith of our forebears in the church. But the question is, do we have the courage of them?” “I don't think God's going away. I don't think God's declining. But the way people are engaging their faith is really changed and is changing.” “Sometimes I talk about this as like the Blockbuster Video moment… People still want experiences of the divine. They just don't want to access it primarily on a Sunday morning.” “Constraints can produce creativity and, in the life of faith, can also produce a willingness to trust.” Helpful Links and Resources Mark Elsdon's Website *We Aren't Broke: Uncovering Hidden Resources for Mission and Ministry,* by Mark Elsdon *Gone for Good?

He is the author of We Aren't Broke: Uncovering Hidden Resources for Mission and Ministry (2021) and editor of Gone for Good? Negotiating the Coming Wave of Church Property Transition (2024). In addition to his role as a director with RootedGood, Mark is also executive director at Pres House, where he led the transformation of a dormant non-profit into a growing, vibrant, multi-million-dollar organization. Mark has a BA in psychology from the University of California–Berkeley, a master of divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary, and an MBA from the University of Wisconsin School of Business. He is an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church, USA, and lives in Madison, Wisconsin. Mark is an avid cyclist and considers it a good year when he rides more miles on his bike than he drives in his car. Show Notes Mark Elsdon reflects on thirty years of ministry, beginning with campus work at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Launch of a $17 million student housing project that became a transformative ministry for thousands of students. Elsdon's discovery: “It isn't about property, nor is it about money. It's about people's lives and it's about God's work in people's lives.” Creation of a sober housing program at Pres House that has saved the state of Wisconsin more than a million dollars in addiction-related costs. Innovative blend of mission, ministry, and real estate development to foster student flourishing. The unique impact of housing students in recovery alongside the wider student population. Elsdon's MBA studies at UW–Madison and his calling at the intersection of money and mission. The “Blockbuster Video moment” for American Christianity: people still seek meaning, community, and transcendence, but not in traditional formats. Challenges churches face with aging buildings, declining attendance, and financial strain. How repurposing property reveals new opportunities for mission and ministry. RootedGood's “Good Futures” Accelerator course: helping churches rethink land, buildings, and resources for social enterprise and revenue generation. Example of two congregations in Madison merging to create an environmentally sustainable multifamily housing project and community center. Redefining church property as community space: “flipping the script” so the building belongs to the neighborhood, with the church as anchor tenant. Courage, risk-taking, and letting go of past models are essential for churches to reimagine their future. The critical role of pastoral and lay leadership in sparking change and vision. Storytelling as central to church renewal: “We often have the faith of our forebears in the church. But the question is, do we have the courage of them?” Learning from the pandemic: every church has the capacity for innovation and adaptation. Honouring grief and loss while embracing resurrection hope in church property transitions. Example from San Antonio: members resisted redevelopment until their need for funerals in the sanctuary was acknowledged—turning “either/or” into “both/and.” Affordable housing crisis intersects directly with church land opportunities. Turner Center study: California churches and colleges hold land equal to five Oaklands suitable for affordable housing development. Elsdon warns against cookie-cutter “models” and emphasizes local context, story, and creativity. Forecast: up to 100,000 church properties in the US may be sold or repurposed in the next decade. Elsdon's hope: more repurposing than selling, with land and buildings becoming assets for life-giving mission. The value of constraints: “Constraints can produce creativity and, in the life of faith, can also produce a willingness to trust.” Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

Many Christians have a fairly optimistic expectation when it comes to life and ministry, feeling that with enough prayer and hard work they can change the world. Others have a more pessimistic view, with little expectation of fruit or of God using them. But Scripture offers a more nuanced option, a realism that knows that God is with us to work through us even in the hard spots and difficult times in life. Listen as Pastor Luke Herche preaches on Genesis 39:1–20, the account of Joseph and Potiphar's wife, showing in this passage God's continuing plan to bless the nations through the offspring of Abraham. Pastor Luke focuses on four main points: —God is with his people, to bless the nations through his people. —Temptation and persecution make it seem as if God is absent and his blessing has failed. —Jesus faced God's curse and absence that we might know his presence and blessing. —Jesus is with you; trust God in your calling, whatever may come, confident in his resurrection power. Part of a series on the book of Genesis. From Sunday Worship, September 21, 2025. ------------------------------- Want to go deeper? Take some time to reflect on the sermon with the following questions: If you were retelling Joseph's story in this passage to a friend, which moments would you highlight most vividly, and why do they stand out to you? This passage raises a big question: when life unravels through temptation or injustice, where is God? How do you wrestle with that in your own story? Joseph's life reminds us that blessing isn't about circumstances but about God's presence. What makes it hard to believe that God is with us in our difficulty? What would help remind you of that reality in difficult times? God blesses “the nations” through his people. What might living as a bearer of Christ's blessing look like in your work, home, or community this week? ------------------------------- allsoulspca.org All Souls (Urbana, IL) is a part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a Christian, Reformed denomination with historic and theological roots in the Protestant Reformation.

A recent article announced a shift, some call it vibe, others a mood, that is making Christianity more acceptable or less appealing than it used to be in Aaron Renn's "negative world." This is related to a question of what influence churches have on a society and its culture.  Aaron Renn interviewed several leaders among the effort to take back the mainline Protestant denominations (from a fall that everyone acknowledges but does not necessarily measure).  One of the reasons for looking to these churches instead of the Presbyterian Church in America, the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, or the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, is that the mainline denominations have more status than the sideline alternatives, and therefore are more likely to promote Christianity beyond the church to the culture more generally.  The pudcast co-hosts, Korey Maas (Lutheran), Miles Smith (Anglican), and D. G. Hart (Presbyterian) discuss these matters, even with some attention to the church's influence on the Roman empire and much later on American society during the early national period.  In the latter case, Ross Douthat's comments in an interview (read in the recording) about low-church Protestantism's influence on America are yet another aspect of Christianity's cultural influence.

Sorrow and wickedness and evil are all around us. In the words of Shakespeare, “Each new morn new widows howl, new orphans cry, new sorrows strike heaven on the face.” But what do we do in light of all this evil in the world? In Psalm 94 we find a reflection in the face of wickedness, a sober psalm that looks at the world as it is and helps us to wrestle with the question of how to respond. Pastor Josué Pernillo preaches on this challenging psalm, teaching us that in the face of evil Christians can cry to a judge, hate wickedness, wait patiently, and hope for restoration.

The first few chapters of the gospel of Mark put Jesus' authority on display: his authority to heal, his authority to forgive sins, his authority in teaching, his authority over creation, and in Mark 5:1–20 we see Jesus' authority to cast out demons. In this account we find a question on the lips of a man possessed by a legion of demons that, surprisingly and counter-intuitively, we all need to ask ourselves: “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God?” Have you ever asked Jesus that question before? What might his answer be?

fWotD Episode 3043: William Arthur Ganfield Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 3 September 2025, is William Arthur Ganfield.William Arthur Ganfield (September 3, 1873 – October 18, 1940) was an American pastor, educator, and academic administrator who was president of Centre College in Danville, Kentucky, from 1915 to 1921 and then of Carroll College (now called Carroll University) in Waukesha, Wisconsin, from 1921 until his retirement in 1939.A preacher in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Ganfield was hired to join the history faculty at Carroll in 1904 and stayed in Waukesha until 1915, when he was elected president of what is now Centre College. There, he reversed decisions made by his predecessor, Frederick W. Hinitt, to restore the school's close connection with the Presbyterian Church, leading to an increase in enrollment and a successful fundraiser. Centre experienced significant athletic success during Ganfield's tenure, particularly in football; the 1919 team was retroactively recognized as national champions, and the 1921 team won a major upset victory over Harvard. By the time of the Harvard game, Ganfield had already agreed to return to Carroll as their president, though his contract stipulated that he would not begin the position until after the game.Ganfield, who took office at Carroll directly after the school's first lay president, kept its ties to the church intact and maintained daily chapel attendance as a requirement for all students. Enrollment and the endowment both grew during his nineteen-year term, the latter to $800,000 by his retirement. Sports enjoyed increased attention and success; Norris Armstrong, a former member of Centre's football team, came to Carroll in 1923 to coach the football and basketball teams, both of which won numerous league titles. Faculty pensions were introduced during the Great Depression, and fixed salaries were implemented as the faculty numbers grew. Ganfield retired in 1939 due to poor health and died the following year.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:53 UTC on Wednesday, 3 September 2025.For the full current version of the article, see William Arthur Ganfield on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Ruth.

Can God keep his promises when we fail? It's a major question in the book of Genesis, and even throughout the whole Bible. A popular question about the problem of evil is, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” But in this sermon on Genesis 38, the story of Judah and Tamar, Pastor Luke asks a twist on that question: Can God do good things through bad people? Or, will God keep his good promises when we fail so bad? Pastor Luke looks at the answer to that question under three heads: Our sin seems to endanger God's redemptive purposes; God works through what is sinful and shameful to accomplish his glorious redemptive purposes; we can now boast in our weakness, trusting that our darkest moments are a part of Christ's redemptive story. Part of a series on the book of Genesis. From Sunday Worship, August 31, 2025. ------------------------------- Want to go deeper? Take some time to reflect on the sermon with the following questions: What parts of Judah and Tamar's story are the most shocking to you? How does this chapter challenge the idea that God only works through “clean” situations or morally impressive people? Where in your own life have you assumed “God can't use this”? How does knowing that Jesus willingly entered the family line of Judah and Tamar impact the way you view your own failures? How might you share your story (even the messy parts) in a way that points to Jesus as the hero? Take some time to pray that God would use the weak and messy parts of your life for his glory. Confess your sins and ask for power to live in the hope of God's redeeming grace. ------------------------------- allsoulspca.org All Souls (Urbana, IL) is a part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a Christian, Reformed denomination with historic and theological roots in the Protestant Reformation.

On today's program, David E. Taylor—the self-appointed apostle of Kingdom of God Global Church and head of Joshua Media Ministries—was arrested this week for forced labor and money laundering. If convicted, he could face more than 20 years in prison. We'll have details. And, a Kentucky church has encouraged their members to check books out of their local library, and not return them—ever. The books, many of them geared toward children, promote LGBTQ lifestyles, and the church is framing the thefts as an act of civil disobedience. We'll take a look. Plus, Dauphin Way Baptist Church used to be the largest Baptist church in Alabama. Now, it is selling its property and plans to downsize. But first, a PCA church in Newport Beach, California, is reeling after one of its elders was arrested for sexual assault. Redeemer Church of Orange County in Newport Beach, California, a 325-member congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), informed its congregation last week that one of its elders, Michael Maxwell, had been arrested by Irvine police for sexual crimes against a minor.  The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. We get database and other technical support from Stephen DuBarry, Rod Pitzer, and Casey Sudduth. Writers who contributed to today's program include Kim Roberts, Daniel Ritchie, Yonat Shimron, Mark Wingfield, and Christina Darnell.

Can our sin derail God's purposes? Is it possible to undo God's good plan with your poor choices? Can you out-sin grace? These questions seem to be on the mind of the writer of Genesis in Chapter 37, where we find the account of Joseph, Jacob's favored son, and his brothers. This story, though well-known on its own, is just a part of the larger story of Genesis, and a part of the even larger story of redemption. Through Joseph we ultimately get a glimpse of Jesus; through Joseph's rule we find a picture of God's kingdom. Listen as Pastor Luke Herche preaches on this passage under four heads: 1) God's promise to restore his world includes exalting his King. 2) Pride tempts us to resist God's King; pain tempts us to despair of his promise. 3) God uses opposition to his rule to exalt his King. 4) Take heart—despite present appearances, our King reigns; his kingdom is coming. Part of a series on the book of Genesis. From Sunday Worship, August 24, 2025. ------------------------------- Want to go deeper? Take some time to reflect on the sermon with the following questions: In your own words, retell the key events of Genesis 37. What stands out most to you? How does this story show us God's determination to right his world and human opposition to it? (Consider also Psalms 2 and 8.) Why are we, like Joseph's brothers, so opposed to God righting his world? Why do we often like Jacob despair of it ever happening? Which temptation is stronger for you right now—resisting Jesus' reign in some area of your life, or despairing that his promises will ever come true? The sermon asked, “Can our sin derail God's purposes?” How does Genesis 37 begin to answer that question? Do you find this easy or hard to believe? Why? Read Acts 2:22–24, 32–33. How might looking to the cross (both the significance of Christ's opposition and the wonder of God's purposes) change the way you respond to difficult circumstances this week? ------------------------------- allsoulspca.org All Souls (Urbana, IL) is a part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a Christian, Reformed denomination with historic and theological roots in the Protestant Reformation.
