If you live anywhere in the United States you’re familiar with the phrase, “In God We Trust.” It’s on our money and shows up in all sorts of strange places. In many communities there is a desire to make this phrase more visible in public spheres in an effort to regain ground that is perceived to have been taken from Christianity. But does God have any interest in us putting up signs or making public displays of faith?

Patrick is back with Pastor David and they are joined by special guest Cassandra Nagle for this week’s episode of Beyond Sunday.

Arguably the most influential section of the Christian Bible is the letters of Paul. These writings have had incalculable influence on western thinking. From starting reformations, to upholding and dismantling slavery, to full participation of the LGBTQ+ community in the Christian faith, Paul’s letters have been used on all sides of all of these arguments. But is that what they were intended for?

This week, Elise and Pastor David dive into Galatians. Likely one of Paul’s earliest letters, we get some deep theology, some incredible descriptions of grace, and some uncomfortable conversation about circumcision. Enjoy!

In the news last week, you likely heard about President Biden’s action to forgive some student loan debt. This week, Elise and Pastor David are taking up the question, “How does our faith call us to respond?” Maybe you are rejoicing with this decision or maybe you think this could be bad for the economy. Either way, the Beyond Sunday team will be looking to scripture for insight into how God reacts when we forgive debt.

In ancient Israel the people would gather for worship and likely sang in much the same way that we do today. Their songbook was what we now call The Book of Psalms. As we think about contemporary forms of worship music, how does the music we use today align with the hymns of the Bible? And how does the music we sing effect our understanding of how God is active in the world? Join Pastor David and Patrick this week for this important conversation.

If you are a woman that is connected to a church there is a good chance you have heard a Bible study about Proverbs 31, or the “Ideal Wife” as it is sometimes described. But is that really what we are supposed to learn from the final chapter of Proverbs? Is this a woman or person that event exists? This week, they Beyond Sunday team rethinks this concept and offers an understanding of Proverbs 31 that doesn’t require us to revert to stereotypes of the past.

But what are we supposed to do when we disagree with the authority that is in place? How does a follower of Jesus act in this situation?
