"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!

What does it mean to birth Christ into reality?
On the day of the Feast of Annunciation, Maicon Steuernagel invites us to consider the wilderness Mary is thrust into with the conception and birth of Jesus, and reflects on fear and birthing grace into real lives. 
Welcome to acknowledging fear and welcoming grace. Welcome to Echoes at OiC!

“Children want a future, not alms”
"Sounds good," he thought, staring at these words written on a sign by a traffic light in Brazil. "But I wonder if that future would somehow come back and feed their empty bellies this night". 
This week Maicon Steuernagel listens to Jesus, John and a blind man healed of his own blindness but not free from the blindness of others. How do our communities of faith deal with the necessary discomfort of opening our eyes?
Welcome to the needed discomfourt. Welcome to Echoes at OiC!

There is a difference between no resources being available, and resources being withheld or denied. There is a difference between being alone, and being ignored. What is the difference?
This week Maicon Steuernagel speaks of ents, dogs and asking ourselves how a God who is moved might move us.
Welcome to the invitations of grace and mercy. Welcome to Echos at OiC!

"Anybody there?"
This Lent season we venture into the wide wild empty spaces where echoes live, to ask and listen. Are there other voices there but our own? 
Maicon Steuernagel follows Jesus into the wilderness to ask: why is God there anyway?
Welcome to the wilderness. Welcome to Echoes at OiC!

As we walk together into the season of Lent, out guest speaker Kristine Tveit shares about prayer, being moved, and a Christ who cries.
Welcome to feeling and walking. Welcome to OiC!

The revelation of Bread
