Can we just agree that child sacrifice is not ok?
We continue our series on the Letter of James, struggling with some hard things in the text and, if we dare, in our own lives and the world we live in.
Welcome the hard questions. Welcome to the table.
Welcome to OiC!

What does doubt smell like? What is the texture of doubt? What is the sound of doubt?
As we start off our series on the Letter of James, Maicon Steuernagel argues with James about the place and the shape of doubt. 
Welcome to conversations that lead us to unexpected places. Welcome to the table.
Welcome to OiC!

Ruth, James and Jane walk into a pub...
It sounds like the start of a joke, but it's actually our set up for the semester ahead. The letter of James and the book of Ruth will be our companions around the table, and so will Jane. Who is Jane? Tune in to hear more.
Welcome Jane. Welcome to you, me and someone else.
Welcome to the table at OiC!

About Mary Magdalene, hobbits and stories that hold power.
This week Maicon Steuernagel reflects on the power of resurrection and of being seen, and of implications for those who choose to witness and believe in the power of life.
Welcome to the dismissed voices. Welcome to OiC in the Land of the Living!

The problem with resurrection, is that it is so hard to believe in it...
Yet despite the overwhelming evidence of death, the christian community of faith has insisted not only in believing, but in practices of resurrection! This week Maicon Steuernagel invites us into the practice of vulnerability, starting with one of the main leaders of the early church, the apostle Peter.
Welcome to the practice of vulnerability. Welcome to OiC in the Land of the Living!

The middle of the sea seems like an odd place to look for the living. But then again, where do we look for the living Christ in the land of the living? 
This week, Maicon Steuernagel joins Peter and his friends as they go fishing and try to sort out this new reality in which Christ is resurrected yet seems to slip our hold. They find a miracle, but it quickly fades to the background for something more important: breakfast!
Welcome to meals with the living Christ. Welcome to OiC in the Land of the Living!

"Why do you look for the living among the dead?"
This Easter Sunday, Maicon Steuernagel follows the women to the tomb, where we go to honor the dead and tend to our grief. Yet as we are met by resurrection and life, we are left with the question: how do we seek a living Christ in the land of the Living?
Welcome to the Christ that lives. Welcome to OiC in the Land of the Living!

What does the wilderness do to us? 
At the end of our "Echoes" series, we emerge from the wilderness into the celebration of Palm Sunday. But what shapes our expectations as we wave palm branches and call Jesus king?
This week, Maicon Steuernagel about paying attention to how Jesus relate to power, and paying attention to ourselve in the process.
Welcome to challenging kings and welcoming Christ. Welcome to Echoes at OiC!
