Redeemer Community ChurchSummer Talkback Series - Ben Sciacca & Janet King on Meaningful Friendships in a Disconnected AgeMany of us ask ourselves the honest question: Why is making friends as an adult so hard? At this Talkback, Ben Sciacca, Redeemer's Local Ministry Coordinator, dove into how God created us to live in meaningful community with one another. While the desire for friendship is part of God's good design, the reality is that we live in a time of prevailing loneliness and isolation. Ben was joined by Janet King, Founder of The Gathering Lab. Together, they discussed how to move past small talk into something deeper. They explored what barriers keep us isolated and what f...2025-06-261h 22

The Road to Shalom"Are Peace-Keeping and Peace-Making Synonyms?" Do you see yourself as a "peace-maker" or a "peace-keeper"? What difference would it make if you got this right? Or wrong? In any worldview that believes peace-keeping should be the priority, change is viewed with suspicion. Even change in the right direction.

In this sixth and final interview with shalom-makers, Fran interviews his oldest son Ben, a veteran in peace-making in his own right. Ben's twenty yea...2021-12-0158 min
The Road to Shalom"What's the story on the One Story?" If someone were to ask you, "What is the Bible?" How would you respond? Would you say, "It's the Word of God"? What if they asked you another question, like, "About what?" What would you say then? Our perspective on the Bible not only determines what we think about it. It dictates what we do with it, and why. Is the Bible really an anthology of books and letters? Or is it a textbook of sorts, with answers to all life's conudrums? The source of a distinctly "Christian worldview"? Or perhaps it's a handbook, a sort of "disciplopedia" on how...2021-02-0534 min
