Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration DallasThe Transfiguration - Listening to be Transfigured
As we celebrate our Feast of Title, Danielle Shroyer draws parallels between the Transfiguration and Star Wars “Force Ghosts.” In her sermon, she explores mystical experience, divine listening, and enduring community. The heart of the story is not spectacle but prayer, presence, and love across life and death. God’s command—“Listen to him”—calls the church to transfigure itself into a beloved community through listening, loving, and leading.

Holy Heretics: Losing Religion and Finding JesusHow Buddhism Changed My Evangelical Mind w/ Danielle ShroyerIt's been said Christianity is heavy on teaching and light on praxis. You could argue the last two thousands years of Church history has been one long, and often violent, conversation about right beliefs but not right action. Thus, you can believe all the (supposedly) right things about God, the virgin birth, the resurrection, and the Bible and still be in bondage. But what if there is another way that actually leads to spiritual and personal transformation that doesn’t try to find answers to everything but rather accepts the world as it is?

The doctrine of "original sin," the idea that every human being is born completely separated from God by sin inherited from Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, is one that many Christ followers have believed and lived into, though its roots can't actually be traced back the creation stories in Genesis.

She joins us to make a starkly compelling case for something else altogether - original blessing.

The Ferment8 - Danielle Shroyer - Original BlessingFor many years, Danielle Shroyer was a pastor to people recovering from a toxic theology of original sin, a theology that said that God couldn’t even bear to look at them without a very bloody intervention by Jesus. With a fierce empathy for her parishioners and an intellectual hunger for good theology, Shroyer went digging through the early writings of the church and discovered there an understanding of salvation that was not based on an assumption of essential human depravity. For Shroyer, the blessing of humanity by God “is not if-then but as-is.” We may “choose not to echo the...

Tripp FullerLent Week 1: Fasting as Trust in God #LectioCastLent begins. And we are invited into the ancient practice of fasting. Fasting does not mean adding a new practice, but shedding a practice for the purpose of deepening our trust in God. The stories of Jesus and of Adam and Eve invite us to consider what sorts of props we have erected to hold ourselves up rather than entrusting ourselves into the hands of God. Will we give these up for Lent?
Matthew 4:1-11 Jesus pulls off what neither Adam nor Israel were able to do before him: and he reaps the rewards of...

Crackers and Grape JuiceEpisode 69 - Danielle Shroyer: Why People Don't Need JesusOriginal sin, as descried by Danielle Shroyer is the 'red sock' in our theological laundry. In her new book, 'Original Blessing, Putting Sin in Its Place', Shroyer explores how we are not born separated from God as God has chosen fidelity over separation. We are not separate from God, and if we are, it's on our end.

Isaiah 63:7-9 Getting wrapped up in the fulness of God’s blessing: unmediated, direct blessing. God shows up in God’s love. With an awesome digression on the Abraham story.
Psalm 148 A picture of the cosmos. Which my youth group confused. But… Here’s the deal: the God who has unlimited scope also loves and cares for us as God’s own people.
Hebrews 2:10-18 “With us.” Jesus isn’t separ...

Together we delve into the work that God must do if God is to be honored and celebrated as savior. And we get wrapped up in the saving work, not only as objects, but as active participants.
Isaiah 52:7-10 What kind of good news are we talking about here? Can the power of God be redeemed by the outstretched arm of Luke Cage?
Psalm 98 God reigns. God is judge. And the people celebrate. Again. In part, people celebrate because God re...

In the person of Jesus we are given the incarnate presence of God’s deepest blessing with us. And to that blessing we said no. And yet God continues to call us into the relationship God has established.
Isaiah 62:6-12 God draws us into the place of blessing, where God has come before us. And we have to read it from below.
Psalm 97 God is king. God will judge. Ready to cele...

Isaiah 9:2-7 The birth of Jesus echoes the birth of an earlier king, a previous “mighty God, everlasting father.” Let that mess with your Christology!
Psalm 96 God’s plan of salvation is SO MUCH BIGGER than human salvation. The whole creation is wrapped up in God’s saving work. Do we live in such a way the the whole cosmos would see our life as a cause of celebration?
Titus 2:11-14 Danielle thinks you should preach this on Christmas. Be brave! Do it! There’s a deep call...

Fractal Friends"Original Blessing" with Danielle ShroyerIn this conversation Danielle and I discuss religion, social change, and finding our best selves.
2016-01-1251 minTripp FullerEntrusting Ourselves to Abundance and Generosity #LectioCastDanielle Shroyer wraps up her four-week stint by challenging us on privilege, empowerment, and trust while working through the texts for Proper 18. A theme emerges about entrusting ourselves to God’s economy of abundance, with its call for lives of generosity.
James 2: Favoritism. James’s warning about favoritism gets contextualized into a world of (white) privilege. Daniel can’t resist addressing the (apparent) tension between Paul and James.
Mark 7: Does Jesus change his mind? Does the Syrophoenician woman win the argument? Or did Jesus draw out what he needed to hear and what she needed to be...

The “Dude’s Got Sex Appeal” edition of LectioCast entertains that possibility. Let that sink in for a minute. If you can’t take it, don’t worry: Daniel has a praise song that shows definitively that the whole book is about God and Israel. And then there’s Daniel’s hobbyhorse, again, with a human being identified with God in Psalm 45. But, again, don’t worry. Danielle Shroyer is on the mic and brings some serious, down-home pastoral wisdom to our discussio...

John 6 continues to challenge us, we try to turn our offense back around on ourselves, and we reflect on the significance of the Temple for a post-Temple people.
John 6 Danielle leads us into an exploration of offense: why are we offended so easily, and, really, what does Jesus have to do with that? Daniel tries to make Jesus’ ascension offensive. He’s not sure he pulled it off, but he gave it a...
2015-08-1835 minTripp FullerWisdom: Solomon Got It, We Need It #LectioCastDanielle Shroyer joins Daniel Kirk to bring some much needed pastoral insight to the running theme of wisdom. Solomon gets it—for wanting what Adam and Eve grasped after in the Garden. Where do we find the wisdom to get over our aversion to naming God as worthy of praise? Can we find the path of wisdom if we’re vague about what the will of the Lord is? And where on earth do we get the wisdom we need to understand what Jesus is going on about?
1 Kings Does God choose to be limited to th...
