Rod refers to at the beginning are here.2024-01-2216 minUUSLOUUSLOFind the Cost of Freedom - AudioThough freedom is generally understood to be something that people embrace, psychologist, Erich Fromm pointed out that there is also a basic human urge to "escape from freedom."2024-01-1414 minUUSLOUUSLOComing and Going - AudioEach Sunday we welcome you in and...about an hour later, send you forth.

Jesus took it a step farther and said we should love our enemies, which our culture particularly struggles with in these fractious times. So maybe our best bet is to start with our neighbors.2023-02-1915 minUUSLOUUSLOI <3 Darwin - AudioOk, it’s the anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birthday, but what does the theory of evolution have to do with love?2023-02-1213 minUUSLOUUSLOKumbaya - AudioA song that lends itself toward joining together in friendship and peace has become little more than a joke in our current times.
