It's so fun to record with a friend. I even forget we were on a podcast at one point because this is just who we are and how we talk. As you will hear, Pam and I recently went on a retreat together. During the trip, Pam impromptu asked if we could record a special summer episode, and here it is! It's perfect timing as the leaves are changing here in Chicago and the weather is starting to change. This show is a great way to wrap up summer and to focus on a fun and deep topic – spiritual friendship. During today's podcast, Pam and I discussed:That we have been friends for 27 years and we haven't aged a day!What motivated Pam to join me in Montana for the retreat.How Pam and I met in 1998 and almost bumped into one another in 1997.What the definitions of spiritual friendship and doppelganger are.The impact our friendship has had on both of us.If we can't spend a lot of time together because we are so similar and the energetic connection is strong.And Pam's most recent advice on the 1-2 ways women can be braver at work!Here is more about Pam:Pamela Fierst-Walsh is the Vice President of Government Affairs for North America with the DeBeers Group.

Friendship is at the core of who we are. God Himself models perfect relationship in the Trinity, and He invites us into that same kind of connection with one another. And yet, we live in a time when isolation and despair are on the rise—where loneliness is being called an epidemic, and where the lack of meaningful connection is costing lives. All of this points to our deep need for the kind of relationships God has made us for. Welcome to the Big Idea Podcast: Reading with Friends, where each week we invite you to join us as we sit down for a conversation about the weekend's message and how, together, we can step into the kind of friendship and connection we were made for—friendship with God and with one another. Episode Description: On this first episode, we ask: Why a podcast, and why now? We talk about how the Spiritual Friendship Series came to be, what we've learned along the way, and what you can expect in the weeks ahead. We also model what's to come as we open the Bible with friends and reflect on the Big Idea and key passages from the weekend's message.

Listen as Lead Pastor Kris McDaniel and Spiritual Formation Pastor Adrienne share what's ahead for our church this fall, exploring how the season of Ordinary Time invites us into growth, discipleship, and deeper relationships. They unpack Trinity's core commitment to creating space for meaningful and reconciled relationships.They also highlight upcoming opportunities to live this out together, including the launch of Neighborhood Groups, a Wellness Workshop on Spiritual Friendship with Bishop Brian Wallace, a Faith & Night on Sexuality, the Grace and Truth course, a talk with Deacon Erin Moniz, and our Marriage Retreat. Throughout the episode, they reflect on intimacy, community, and what it means to be formed in Christ in everyday life.

This Dhamma talk was offered on August 16, 2025 at Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery.

In this exploration of spiritual friendship, we dive into the powerful bonds that shape our faith journey. The sermon draws inspiration from the biblical story of David and Jonathan, showcasing a friendship so deep it transcended political rivalries and familial expectations. This narrative invites us to reflect on our own relationships and how they mirror such profound connections. The message emphasizes three key aspects of spiritual friendship: the power of presence and listening, the importance of encouragement, and the necessity of honest correction. We're challenged to consider who plays these roles in our lives and, perhaps more importantly, for whom we fulfill these roles. The sermon beautifully weaves these themes with scenes from the movie 'Stand By Me,' illustrating how even in secular stories, we can find sacred truths about companionship and growth. As we contemplate these ideas, we're encouraged to seek out or cultivate small groups where we can experience the depth of spiritual friendship, asking ourselves and others, 'How is it with your soul?' This message reminds us that in true friendship, we encounter not just each other, but also the presence of God.

We're diving deep into the world of spiritual discernment with Cheryl Weaver. Cheryl breaks down what spiritual discernment really is and why it's not just some lofty, intimidating concept, but a super practical tool for everyday life. We explore how tuning into God's invitations can transform our decision-making processes and help us move away from the pressure of going it alone. Plus, Cheryl shares some gems about the role of a spiritual director, making it clear that this journey is all about creating space for genuine connection with God and others.Episode HighlightsSpiritual discernment involves being aware of God's guidance as we make daily decisions.Community plays a crucial role in spiritual discernment, offering support and perspective along the journey.The practice of spiritual direction is about creating space for personal growth and connection with God.It's essential to prioritize intentional living and create space for spiritual practices in our lives.Resources MentionedCedar Rock Ministries Sacred Companions: The Gift of Spiritual Friendship & Direction by David G.

DateDecember 22, 2024SynopsisIn this sermon, we dive into what happens when vulnerability meets blessing through the lens of Mary's visit to Elizabeth. We explore how creating safe spaces for truth-telling—like Elizabeth's home and the muskrat's winter den—allows us to encounter transformative love that empowers us to sing new songs of hope. This fourth Sunday of Advent reminds us that authentic love makes room for our whole selves, not just our highlight reel.ReferencesScripture: Luke 1:39–55 About The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.

GRATITUDE: REPONSING TO A GENEROUS GOD We cannot read the worship-prayer book of Israel, the Psalms, without being captured with the notion of thanksgiving undergirding every type of expression to God in prayer. Even the darkest laments often end in thanksgiving, or at least the expectation of God's intervention, which is the shadow of thanksgiving.
