AMDG. “Sister, is God a person for you, or an idea?”   Diocesan priest, author, and former hermit Fr. Wayne Sattler joins the Kolbecast to share his life-story from high school teacher to almost-married to hermit; his two books, which originated in his notes from years leading spiritual retreats; spiritual direction, or as he prefers to call it, “spiritual friendship”; relating to God as a person, not as an idea, which is the theme of one of his books; and so much more. Fr. Sattler's humor, hope, and humility shine through every story he tells, and his words reflect the wisdom he has gained from his years of experience counseling others.   Links mentioned & relevant:  Books & articles by Fr.

“What if the key to deeper faith isn't more clarity, but more connection?”In this intimate, spirit-led conversation, Ernie and Robby reconnect after a season apart to reflect on the quiet work of God in their lives. Wrestling with relational tensions, spiritual growth, and cultural dislocation, they gently explore how Christ invites us into a new way of being—one that prioritizes connection over separation.This unscripted episode sets the tone for a potential new season of their journey: revisiting old wounds, honoring past lessons, and stepping into a shared vulnerability rooted in love, presence, and identity in Jesus. Along the way, they ask brave questions about marriage, church, community, and the sometimes hidden ways healing begins.Whether this becomes a full season or remains a sacred conversation between friends, it's a soft launch into something new—and possibly, something holy.See also:  Interpreting “One New Humanity” Through a Diaphoric Lens

A Spiritual Community consists of Individuals; a group does not consist of Individuals. What is individuality? How can an ordinary group support our efforts to transcend the group?

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.

Pastor Matt Boffey

Father Bobby Blood joins Patrick to discuss Spiritual Friendship.  (4:29) did Jesus navigate friendships? (11:15) Keith - wanted to give my friend Maria a boost - I met her through a priest, and she is such a gem. We are best friends (14:34) Nicky - I have a good Church because of a friend who I helped me a lot. 11:24 Patrick Quantity time leads to quality time (22:09) Break 1 (27:15) Speaking truth to friends even when it is difficult. (30:49) - What types of virtues are nourished from good friendships? John - 17yrs ago I was at my lowest and I met a deacon who became like a father to me. (36:40) Melissa - I have a daughter and she finds it difficult to find friends and they don't seem receptive (40:54) Break 2 (42:48) Nick - I am on the other end of the spectrum - how do we admit that a lifelong friendship has died and properly mourn that even though the person is still living? (45:57) Tom - I have a friend of 62 years and I found someone who brought me back into the church and I want to help someone like he helped me

Friendship is one of the most vital parts of a healthy life as well as faith, but it's increasingly harder to do well in ordinary life. In this message, Pastor Julie shares some wisdom from Proverbs on what we should seek in a friend--and how to be a good one ourselves!
