Utilizing the intersections between Jane Steger, Jacob Boehme, and Meister Eckhart, Thurman explores what Steger calls "the inner light." He notes that the inner light within humanity is first, the "ground of God that is present in humanity," and second, a phenomenon that is "imposed upon the personality" without consent. He holds this definition in juxtaposition with a religious experience he once had, illustrating the intimate, yet universal, nature of the religious experience.2024-10-3032 minThe Howard Thurman PodcastThe Gospel According to Mark, Part 1, 1979 October 21Thurman reads the Gospel of Mark from Mark 1:1 to 7:30 (Moffatt, New Translation Version)Part of the Collection, The Gospel According to MarkTags: baptism, children's crumbs, crowds, demon possession, dogs, Galilee, ghost, gospel reading, healing, hemorrhage, holy spirit, Jesus Christ, John the Baptist, Jordan River, legion, literal reading, native place, nazareth, parable, repent, repentance, sabbath, sheep without a shepherd, sower, swine, synagogue, unclean spiritDescription by Dustin MailmanRecorded in NACitation: Thurman, Howard, “Th...2024-09-2645 minThe Howard Thurman PodcastConversations with Howard Thurman, September 1980, Parts 3 and 4, Side BThis recording is a part of a wider series of conversations from September to October of 1980 where Howard Thurman met with a variety of young men and women who were discerning their calling to ministry.

ASLC PodcastTongue of a Teacher Pastor Wes Kimball ( 17th Sunday After Pentecost, Sunday Sept 15th, 2024Three weeks ago we heard Peter’s confession of faith as told in John’s gospel. This week we hear Mark’s version, when Peter says, “You are the Messiah.” In John, the stumbling block is Jesus’ invitation to eat his flesh, given for the life of the world. In Mark too the scandal has to do with Jesus’ words about his own coming death, and here Peter himself stumbles over Jesus’ words. But Jesus is anointed (the meaning of messiah) in Mark only on the way to the cross (14:3); so we are anointed in baptism with the sign of the cross.2024-09-1512 minThe Howard Thurman PodcastOn Mysticism, Part 9 (University of Redlands Course), 1973This recording is the sixth lecture in our collection of ten that Howard Thurman gave at the University of Redlands in 1973 on the topic of mysticism.

Drawing from Olive Schreiner, Elmer O'Brian, and his own encounters, Thurman reflects upon God's (or The Ultimate's) sovereign providence.

Dr. Jules EricksonIn today’s gospel many people take offense at Jesus’ invitation to eat his flesh and drink his blood; even many of Jesus’ disciples peel off. This is the backdrop in John’s gospel for Peter’s confession of faith. “To whom can we go?” asks Peter, in words we sometimes sing just before the gospel is read. “You have the words of eternal life.” We pray in the Spirit that we might be bold ambassadors of the gospel.Scripture Reading:Joshua 24:1-2a, 14-18; Psalm 34:15-22; John 6:56-69John 6:51-58 (13th Sunday of Pentecost, August 8 2024)...2024-08-2513 minASLC PodcastJohn 6:51-58 (13th Sunday of Pentecost) Rev. Dr. Jules EricksonWisdom prepares a feast, sets her table, and invites all to come and eat her bread and drink her wine. The first chapter of John’s gospel owes much to the biblical tradition that imagined Wisdom as existing before anything was created and having a role in the work of creation. Christ, the wisdom of God (1 Cor. 1:24), today invites us to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

The gospel for this Sunday is the story of the man born blind healed by Christ. “I was blind, now I see,” declares the man. In baptism, God opens our eyes to see the truth of who we are: God’s beloved children. As David was anointed king of Israel, in baptism God anoints our head with oil and calls us to bear witness to the light of Christ in our daily lives.Scripture Readings: 1 Samuel 16:1-13; Psalm 23; John 9:1-412023-03-1908 minASLC PodcastSermon: A Level Praying Ground (3rd Sunday in Lent: 03/12/2023)In today’s gospel the Samaritan woman asks Jesus for water, an image of our thirst for God. Jesus offers living water, a sign of God’s grace flowing from the waters of baptism. The early church used this gospel and those of the next two Sundays to deepen baptismal reflection during the final days of preparation before baptism at Easter. As we journey to the resurrection feast, Christ comes among us in word, bath, and meal—offering us the life-giving water of God’s mercy and forgiveness.Scripture Readings: Exodus 17:1-7; Psalm 95; John 4:5-422023-03-1206 minASLC PodcastSermon: Surprise! (2nd Sunday in Lent: 03/05/2023)During Lent we journey with all those around the world who will be baptized at the Easter Vigil. In today’s gospel Jesus tells Nicodemus that he must be born of water and Spirit. At the font we are a given a new birth as children of God. As God made a covenant with Abraham, in baptism God promises to raise us up with Christ to new life. From worship we are sent forth to proclaim God’s love for all the world.Scripture Readings: Genesis 12:1-4a; Psalm 121; John 3:1-72023-03-0512 min
