Podcasts about Sojourners

Pastor Brian's sermon explores the Christian identity as pilgrims and sojourners who are called to resist conformity to a world hostile to God. It addresses the inevitable loneliness and persecution believers face, urging them to remain faithful rather than silent or compromising. The preacher outlines practical spiritual disciplines for enduring hardship, including cultivating an eternal perspective, embracing suffering as a blessing, trusting in God's protection, engaging actively in the church community, and drawing encouragement from biblical examples of faithfulness. Ultimately, the message affirms that believers are more than conquerors through Christ, equipped with divine resources to live victoriously in a fallen world.

Rev. Adam Taylor joins Jen and Patrick for a wide-ranging conversation about peace, justice, and the prophetic vision of Isaiah 58. He shares how his own faith journey, shaped by interracial family roots, the civil rights movement, and Black church tradition, led him to Sojourners and to a deep conviction that peace is more than the absence of conflict.The episode explores why justice and peace are inseparable, how Isaiah 58 challenges transactional religion, and what it means to become a “repairer of the breach” in both public life and personal discipleship.TIMESTAMPS:00:54 - Peace defined as wholeness and right relationship05:20 - The Jim Wallis course that led to Sojourners08:59 - Why peace and justice belong together10:06 - Biblical justice language: mishpat and tsedek13:13 - Isaiah 58 in context: exile and true fasting17:18 - Why injustice is structural, not just interpersonal24:15 - Moving beyond zero-sum thinking31:53 - Wages, land, labor, and other biblical justice issues35:32 - Pastoral advice for people resistant to justice language43:07 - How unjust systems advantage some and trap others49:57 - “Repairers of the breach” and the call to peacemaking52:48 - Breath prayer: “Be still and know that I am God”For full show notes and transcript, visit https://proclaimpeace.org

For the Interns, it's still 1914 Portland. On the cusp of the lighting of the Great Light Way on SW 3rd Avenue, they face a perilous murder of gremlins (or whatever a group of gremlins is called), and an even more perilous muddling of their memories.

So many Christians struggle with mental health, and yet we still struggle to talk about it without shame. If you've ever struggled with anxiety, depression or sadness because no one understands, this episode is for you. In this honest and deeply compassionate conversation, Barb is joined by author Jean Neely to discuss her book Christ in the Abyss: Cultivating Deep Faith amid Depression and Despair. Drawing from her own decades-long journey with mental health challenges, Jean offers a powerful reminder: God's presence isn't reserved for when we feel strong—it meets us right in the depths of our pain. Together, they explore how Christians can approach depression and mental health with honesty and faith, what to do when struggles begin to shake your beliefs, and how to navigate doubt when God feels silent. This episode offers reassurance that God sees you and loves you, even at your lowest points.   RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE Connect with Jean on Facebook Connect with Jean on Instagram Christ in the Abyss: Cultivating Deep Faith amid Depression and Despair Visit Jean's Website Read from Jean's Substack   ABOUT OUR SPECIAL GUEST Jean Lee Neely is a Korean American writer and educator.

JULY 26, 2026 – “Aliens & Sojourners”, Lesson 12 – 1 Peter 2:19-25, Matthew CarnaguaMore Info at www.ebcperu.org

Discover what it means to be chosen by God and live as His people in today's world. This message explores the powerful identity Christians have as a royal priesthood, holy nation, and peculiar people called out of darkness into God's marvelous light. Learn how believers are meant to live differently from the world while maintaining honorable conduct that points others to Christ. Key topics covered include understanding your identity as God's chosen people, the meaning of being a royal priesthood in the New Testament church, living as spiritual sojourners and exiles in this world, abstaining from fleshly passions that wage war against your soul, responding to persecution and misunderstanding with good deeds, and the ultimate purpose of Christian witness and evangelism. This biblical teaching examines 1 Peter 2:9-12 and reveals how Old Testament promises to Israel apply to New Testament Christians. Discover why Christians are called peculiar people and how the gospel creates supernatural unity that the world cannot understand. Learn about the connection between your conduct and your witness, and why both proclaiming the gospel and living it out are essential for effective evangelism. Whether you're struggling with your Christian identity, wondering how to live differently in a secular culture, or seeking motivation for evangelism and witness, this message provides biblical answers. Find practical application for remembering where God brought you from, living with eternal perspective, and using both words and deeds to bring others from darkness to light. Perfect for Christians seeking to understand their calling, new believers learning about their identity in Christ, church members wanting to grow in evangelism, and anyone interested in biblical teaching on Christian living and witness.

In her new book Safe Passage, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Evelyn Iritani reveals one of World War II's little-known diplomatic triumphs—the rescue of nearly 3,000 Allied civilians held by Japan in two exchanges at sea—and the high price that was paid by the thousands of innocent men, women and children, mostly of Japanese descent, who were traded to a country that was no longer, and may never have been, their home. Sojourners and immigrants, diplomats and thrill-seekers, storytellers and proselytizers. Uprooted by a conflict of someone else's making, this eclectic mix of humanity from both sides of the Pacific found themselves on a voyage across war-torn waters that would transform them in surprising, often tragic, and sometimes inexplicable ways. In the fall of 1943, during some of the Pacific theater's bloodiest battles, the United States and Japan pulled off a diplomatic coup: the exchange of civilians caught on the wrong side of the battlefield after Pearl Harbor. Nearly 1,500 Allied civilians trapped in Asia, mostly Americans, sailed through dangerous waters to an Indian port city, where they were traded for an equivalent number of Japanese immigrants and their families sent from the Americas. The fate of the more than 10,000 Americans left behind rested on the success of this endeavor. In Safe Passage, Iritani reveals the herculean efforts of the American diplomat James Keeley to engineer these wartime exchanges despite great resistance from within and outside his government; the shipboard conflicts among passengers, including missionaries, revelers, and sharp-tongued journalists; and the moral compromises involved in securing their safe passage. Faced with too few bodies to trade and desperate to free Americans from perilous conditions, the United States uprooted and repatriated Japanese citizens of Latin America, sometimes against their will, while Japanese imprisoned in camps, many of them American citizens, were forced to choose between expulsion to a war zone or an uncertain future behind barbed wire. The result is a revelatory account of the hurdles to pursuing humanitarian action in wartime. About the Speakers Evelyn Iritani is an author, historian and former reporter for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and the Los Angeles Times, where her reporting garnered numerous awards, including the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting for a series she coauthored on Wal-Mart. She also authored the book An Ocean Between Us: The Changing Relationship of Japan and the United States Told in Four Stories from the Life of an American Town. Moderator Amanda L. Tyler is a professor of constitutional law at UC Berkeley Law School and author or contributor to numerous books and articles, including co-author with the Honorable Ruth Bader Ginsburg of Justice, Justice Thou Shalt Pursue: A Life's Work Fighting for a More Perfect Union.

In this episode of Conversations That Matter, host Jon Harris welcomes back Pastor Michael Clary to discuss his new book Loser Theology. Clary defines loser theology as a pietistic vibe that tells Christians they are supposed to lose in culture, politics, and society — and to feel spiritual about it. He critiques prominent leaders, exposes the double standard on political engagement, and explains how to pursue righteous power with biblical piety instead of passive defeat. A must-watch for anyone tired of the church staying on the sidelines.00:00 Introduction & Welcome to Pastor Michael Clary01:45 What Is Loser Theology?

In this episode, I talk with Kristin Lee about what happens when a faith begins to crack, and whether the breaking might be the start of something truer. We get into kintsugi, the art of mending broken pottery with gold, what it costs to ask the questions we've been warned against, and what the church on the margins can teach the rest of us about following a marginal Jesus. What emerges is a picture of faith that doesn't hide its fractures but lets them become the places where the light gets in.Kristin T. Lee is a writer whose work has appeared in Christianity Today and Sojourners, and a primary care physician serving Boston's Chinatown community. She writes about faith, culture, books, and solidarity at The Embers. Her passion all the best books you've never heard of (and some that you have) via book reviews and reading groups on Instagram @ktlee.writes.

In this conversation, Amar Peterman and I get into the slow, local, unglamorous work of becoming neighbors across real difference. We talk about the table as the place where the common good gets built, and why so many of us are far more comfortable playing host than being hosted - flinging our doors open without ever considering who actually walks through them. We get into hospitality as displacement, an accompaniment that refuses to leave, Thomas learning you can't reason your way to resurrection, and an imagination that can see life where everything around us insists there's only division. Here's the challenge: we have to learn to receive before we can ever give, to love people beyond their labels, and to start right where we are, with the one neighbor in front of us.Amar D. Peterman is a constructive theologian working at the intersection of faith and public life. He is the founder of Scholarship for Religion and Society LLC and the former assistant director of civic networks at Interfaith America. Peterman holds an MDiv from Princeton Theological Seminary and is currently a PhD student at the University of Chicago Divinity School. His writing and research have been featured in Sojourners, Christianity Today, The Christian Century,The Fetzer Institute, The Berkley Forum, and more.

1 Peter 1:1-2 provides a unique parallel to Abraham's life as Peter encourages his audience in their Christian walk

Abner Chou • Proverbs 13:1–13:25 • Please note that, due to technical difficulties, this recording skips brief portions of audio. • Sojourners

Sojourners need something stable to help them along in their travels. Christian sojourners have the gift of elders. Christ calls and equips these men to be Shepherd His own flock, the church. This message was preached on the occasion of ordaining our first elder at Madison Reformed Church.

The Interns find themselves somehow transported back in time during their investigation of Portland's Pittock Mansion, and now there is something terrifying at their window.

Trump just sat across from Xi Jinping holding more leverage than any American president in 40 years — and what he said next has the spin machines scrambling. "They want help. We don't need help." Victor Davis Hanson breaks down why Trump's refusal to bargain may have just changed the entire game. Lance Wallnau pulls back the curtain on what really happened in China — plus the behind-the-scenes story from America's 250th rededication that mainstream media is desperate to bury. Did Trump just outplay the entire CCP without firing a shot? Lance unpacks Trump's Bret Baier and Hannity interviews, the Panama-Venezuela-Cuba-Greenland chessboard Trump is quietly clearing of Chinese influence, the Putin-Xi meeting happening right now, and the U.S./Nigerian military strike that killed Abu Bilal al-Munuki — the #2 ISIS leader globally — for the slaughter of Christians in Nigeria. Then — the story almost nobody is telling about May 17. Was America's 250th rededication actually a hinge of history moment? In this episode: • Victor Davis Hanson on why Trump holds the upper hand against China • Trump's "no quid pro quo" doctrine and what it means for Iran • How Trump pushed China out of Panama, Venezuela — and now Cuba • The Putin-Xi meeting and Trump's quiet offer to flip Russia • The U.S./Nigerian strike that killed ISIS's #2 commander for hunting Christians • The man who gave up his 6 minutes on the National Mall so Lou Engel and Dutch Sheets could speak • Paula White's quiet stand against interfaith dilution at the 250th • Trump personally reading 2 Chronicles 7:14 — "If my people..." • Why the New York Times and Sojourners are in full panic over a Christian rededication This wasn't a normal week. This is the kind of week historians look back on as the turning point — if we don't miss it.

Chris Burnett • Proverbs 8:1–8:36 • Sojourners

"For we are strangers before you and sojourners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no abiding." (1 Chronicles 29:15) Pilgrimage is a metaphor that lends embodiment and physical imagery to the invisibly felt experience of walking through life seasons, internally and externally. Life is seemingly outstretched like a long weary road and we the travelers, making our way toward a distant destination. We will be taking a look at the symbol of pilgrimage through the Biblical lens, specifically how it is used in the Psalms of Ascent - the Pilgrim Psalms traditionally known for those traveling on pilgrimages to the temple in ancient Jerusalem. What does it mean to be a pilgrim sojourner and what does this symbol reveal about our journey through life, our spiritual seeking, and our desires for a place to belong?

CarsonStott on Suffering and Glory in the Cross - John StottINTRODUCTION: All Scripture is ProfitableA Final Perspective on SufferingChristian suffering is temporary and purposeful.• Temporary: Your suffering will not last forever. (5:10a).• Sovereign: Our gracious God has a long term plan for our glory (5:10b).• Purposeful: God uses suffering to restore, establish, strengthen, & ground us (5:10c).• Praise - God's sovereign purpose and grace prompt our praise (5:11).A Final Perspective on Partners and PeaceGod's grace is where we stand when times are tough.• The Letter: A message about the true grace of God (5:12a).• The Exhortation: Stand firm on the foundation of God's grace in suffering (5:12b).• The Greetings: Partners in ministry care for one another (5:13).• The Benediction: Be affectionate and rest in the peace of God (5:14).In the final analysis, when Christians sufferthey can trust that God is sovereign, suffering grows us,and God' grace is sufficient for everything we experience.Suffering SpeaksBut pain insists upon being attended to.God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience,but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world. C.S. Lewis (The Problem of Pain)Home Church Questions1. Temporary SufferingPeter says that we “suffer for a little while.” Share a story or two of people whose suffering puts your own suffering in perspective as “for a little while.” Think about missionaries in persecuted areas who live theirwhole lives under threat, or someone like Joni Eareckson Tada, who has walked faithfully with the Lord for 76 years now, almost 60 of those years as a quadriplegic.2. Restored, Established, Strengthened and GroundedGod has a purpose for our suffering, and it is not always to alleviate it. How has God used suffering in your life to accomplish the purposes set forth in this passage? How have you been equipped, solidified, bolstered,and grounded?3. To Him be the “power” forever, Amen.Usually, we would expect the word “glory” where we read “power” or “dominion.” Why is “power” appropriate? Karen Jobes claims that God's eternal might “makes Roman glory look like a withered flower.”When have you experienced this?4. Stand Fast in the True Grace of God.Peter says his purpose was to encourage his readers. Have you been encouraged by this book? How? How do we “Stand fast in the true grace of God?”5. A Final Look Back:As we finish the book of 1 Peter, think back over the messages and flip through the passages. What encouragements have you taken with you? In what way does 1 Peter provide a unique message that you need?UPG FOCUS: The Amma Kenanga in India The Amma Kodaga are a small Hindu people group living in the hilly regions of southern India, where they farm crops like coffee and spices and live in close-knit, tradition-rich communities. Though the New Testament is available in their language, there are no known believers among them. Pray that they would be drawn to Jesus, that disciples would be raised up among them, and that workers would go to share the gospel.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 04/12 22,618Giving For 04/19 40,027YTD Budget 1,453,846Giving 1,776,190 OVER/(UNDER) 322,344 Easter OfferingAt Fellowship, we've seen firsthand how something as simple as a van can open doors for ministry—serving students, supporting outreach, and making it easier for people to connect and belong. For years, we've relied on rentals, but the need has been clear: having our own van would expand what's possible in powerful, practical ways. This is an opportunity to invest in something that will be used again and again to serve others. Every mile driven will represent lives reached, needs met, and community built. You can give online, or place a check or cash in an envelope by the baskets by any of the doors.New to Fellowship? We are so glad that you chose to worship with our Fellowship Family this morning. If you are joining us for the first time or have been checking us out for a few weeks, we are excited you are here and would love to meet you.
