The Good Shepherd: Called by Name | Rev. Dr. Brett Pardue | North Raleigh UMCWhat does it really mean when Jesus says, "I am the Good Shepherd"?In this thoughtful message from John 9-10, Rev. Dr. Brett Pardue explores one of Jesus' most beloved "I Am" statements through the story of the man born blind. Before Jesus speaks about the Good Shepherd, He seeks out someone who has been questioned, judged, and cast aside by religious leaders. Through this powerful connection, we discover that the Good Shepherd is not simply a comforting image. It is a declaration of God's relentless grace, mercy, and commitment to seek those whom others overlook.Drawing on the rich themes of John's Gospel, Psalm 23, Ezekiel 34, and United Methodist theology, Brett reflects on God's prevenient grace, belonging before believing, the church's calling to embody Christ's compassion, and the hope found in being known and called by name. Rather than offering easy answers, this sermon invites us to consider how Jesus continues to pursue people with mercy, healing, and love.Whether you've experienced rejection, are searching for a deeper understanding of God's grace, or want to explore Wesleyan theology through Scripture, this message offers encouragement and a fresh perspective on the Good Shepherd who never loses track of His sheep.Scripture: John 10:11-30 (with John 9), Psalm 23, Ezekiel 34North Raleigh United Methodist Church (NRUMC) is a welcoming United Methodist congregation in Raleigh, North Carolina, committed to helping people encounter Jesus Christ, grow in faith, build authentic community, and serve the world.Topics: Good Shepherd, John 10, John 9, Psalm 23, Ezekiel 34, United Methodist Church, Wesleyan theology, prevenient grace, grace, belonging, discipleship, inclusion, mercy, compassion, healing, identity, faith, Christian living, sermon, Bible study, Raleigh NC, North Raleigh UMC.

Send us Fan MailHi everybody and welcome to Attendance Bias. I am your host Brian Weinstein. Before we get started with today's episode, I wanted to remind you that you can support Attendance Bias by rating and reviewing the show wherever you get your podcasts, you can follow Attendance Bias on social media, and you can visit www.buymeacoffee.com/attendancebias and donate anything you can. Now, onto the show:Today, we continue our miniseries of previewing each venue on Phish's 2026 summer tour with a peek at Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek, or for the purposes of today's episode: Walnut Creek. We are firmly in the “Thunderstorms with 110% humidity” leg of summer tour. The last venue was Enmarket Arena in Savannah, this week we are in Raleigh, North Carolina for Walnut Creek, and next up will be Merriweather Post. Although there are some quirks to this summer tour, Walnut Creek is a well-established venue for Phish fans, going all the way back to 1994. In fact, with just one or two exceptions, Phish's history in Raleigh is their history at Walnut Creek, which makes this a very exciting stop on the tour and an exciting episode. Our tour guide today is Bryan Rodgers; a long-time Phish fan who has lived in and around the Raleigh-Durham area for nearly all his life. Bryan not only tells us about the literal geography of Raleigh, but explains the recent history of Raleigh, where and how the jamband scene fits in over the past 30 years, active venues, and venues long gone, and the best places to get North Carolina Raleigh-style barbecue.In addition, Bryan and I review Phish's history in Raleigh and at Walnut Creek; I'll be honest: there are a lot more music clips in today's episode than there usually are in the venue previews. Walnut Creek deserves and demands it. Whether it's jamming during a thunderstorm, or a mashup between Runaway Jim and Run Like An Antelope, Bryan has us covered today.  So let's get right to it as we prepare for Phish's show at Walnut Creek on July 17, 2026.Support the show

Trinity Sunday: Faith, Doubt, and the Mystery of GodRev. Laura Johnson | North Raleigh United Methodist ChurchWhat if doubt isn't the opposite of faith?On Trinity Sunday, Rev. Laura Johnson explores one of Christianity's most profound mysteries: the doctrine of the Trinity. Drawing from Matthew 28:16-20, she examines the surprising detail that even as the disciples encountered the risen Jesus, "some doubted."This sermon challenges common assumptions about doubt and faith. Looking at the original meaning of the biblical word for doubt, Rev. Johnson suggests that doubt is often not disbelief, but the natural human response to encountering realities that are bigger, deeper, and more beautiful than we expected.Along the way, she guides listeners through the church's historic understanding of the Trinity, exploring how early Christian thinkers wrestled with the mystery of one God revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Rather than offering easy answers, this message invites us to embrace humility, wonder, and curiosity as we grow in our relationship with God.Whether you're wrestling with questions, seeking a deeper understanding of Christian theology, or simply longing for a faith that can hold both conviction and mystery, this sermon offers encouragement for the journey.Scripture: Matthew 28:16-20North Raleigh United Methodist ChurchRaleigh, North CarolinaLearn more about our church and ministries at North Raleigh UMC.Topics Covered:Trinity SundayThe doctrine of the TrinityMatthew 28 and the Great CommissionFaith and doubtThe Nicene CreedChurch history and theologyThe Father, Son, and Holy SpiritChristian discipleshipSpiritual growth and questioning faithKeywords: Trinity Sunday, Holy Trinity, Matthew 28, Great Commission, faith and doubt, Christian theology, Nicene Creed, United Methodist Church, Methodist sermon, Rev Laura Johnson, North Raleigh UMC, Christian discipleship, Holy Spirit, Father Son Holy Spirit, church history, resurrection, biblical interpretation, Christian faith, Raleigh NC church, Sunday sermon

Across the board, one of Raleighites' biggest complaints is transit—full stop. Already a highly car-dependent city, Raleigh is growing up and out quicker than our transit system and roadways can keep up, leaving residents with few ways to get around. More than 20 years in the making, the S-Line ultimately promises to level up transit to Wake Forest and beyond, eventually connecting Raleigh to Richmond.Raleigh's S-Line Could Reshape the RegionStay in the KnowGet SocialMeet Our Sponsors:SwimWoodhouse Spa RaleighTimber PizzaGet the issue to your door!

Text: Esther 9-10Esther is perhaps the most unique and controversial books in all of the Bible. It's one of only two books named after women. It is full of moral failure, ambiguity, and less-than-savory heroes. And it never mentions the name of God once. Yet it is an important book that tells an important piece of God's redemptive history.

Send us Fan MailOn this episode, Rich and I had a great conversation with Brent Verner. In my book, Brent is one of the unsung heroes. I asked for a brief biography and the several sentence segment below is what he sent. No fluff - just the facts, but there's so much more! In any occupation or industry, there are folks who talk a big game and then there are folks who have been there and done that. Brent has done all that and then some. I feel confident that you'll find his lack of ego refreshing. He is currently in the North Hills area of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which is near and dear to my heart, as that is where my parents were raised and I was born. If you are a dog fancier or a LE K9 handler in the Pittsburgh area, you owe it yourself to seek him out for training. He is truly one of the good guys.  BioRetired Army Ranger MPC Handler, 8 combat deployments, NSW G2 MPC Trainer,. K9 TCCC instructor.

From venue logistics to funding to audience support, we break down what it really takes to keep a music festival like Hopscotch here—and why that's not something to take for granted.Stay in the KnowGet SocialMeet Our Sponsors:SwimWoodhouse Spa RaleighTimber PizzaGet the issue to your door!
