Special Guest Colby Martin

Colby remains obstinately hopeful that the church can still be a force for amazing good in the world. With his wife and Co pastor Kate, they started Sojourn Grace Collective nearly six years ago, a progressive Christian church in San Diego.

Colby is the author of UnClobber: Rethinking Our Misuse of the Bible on Homosexuality, and his next book comes out next spring titled The Shift.

The Shift is a survival guide for becoming a progressively minded christian. It’s about the scary, confusing, and lonely journey of leaving or being kicked out of your conservative Christian community and finding yourself on the journey toward a more progressive faith.

The Shift features chapters such as:

What to do when the idea of god stops making sense.
What to do with your love/hate relationship with the church.
What to do with your more conservative friends and family who think you’ve gone off the deep end.

But it’s not just about surviving, because the truth is, a life more open, more loving, and more grace filled leads to a flourishing life of thriving.

The Shift will be available April 21, 2020, and today Colby is excited to announce that pre-orders are now available at colbymartinonline.com.

Good News for the Financially Stressed

 

Most of us at some point have probably felt like an outsider, just a number, a nobody.

The Gospel of Luke is known as the gospel to the marginalized, people who were outcasts and treated as unimportant.

While teaching in his hometown of Nazareth, Jesus announces His mission to preach good news to the poor, freedom to the prisoners, recovery of sight to the blind, set the oppressed free, and proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor. Then Luke shows us what that means for you and me.

If you feel like a nobody, Jesus has good news for you. And in a world where many people feel like nobodies, God wants to announce good news to them through you.

This series was inspired by Adam Hamilton’s The Gospel of the Nobodies.

YOUnited with Your Country and World

 

From cable news to social media to arguments over politics at Thanksgiving dinner, it’s no secret that we live in a divided and anxious time.

  • While we won’t agree on everything, is there any way to bring Americans at least a little closer together to work for the common good?
  • How do we handle disagreements over politics with family members?
  • Is there is a way to hold strong convictions and also listen and try to understand each other at the same time?

Join us for a brand new message series about treating each other with respect and creating a better future for our families, YOUnited States of America.
