What does it mean to hate evil and hold on to what is good? This episode invites us to think about our capacity for love, the limits we place on ourselves, and the strength that comes from community.

What would it look like to live in a world where no one was in need? This week’s Round Hill Radio takes us into Acts 4 and a challenging conversation about wealth, justice, and learning to be uncomfortable in pursuit of community and grace.

Some wounds remain. But through them, light can enter. This week, we talk about Jesus’ scars, our own, and the peace that comes when we release the need to be perfect.

Is the David and Goliath story just about underdogs winning? Or is there more to it? Join us as we unpack this familiar scripture and consider what it means to follow Jesus in a world that still pits strength against weakness.

Sometimes the kings are confused, the prophets are blunt, and the real wisdom comes from those without names. This week’s Round Hill Radio reminds us that God’s spirit works through ordinary voices to bring extraordinary change.

Moses’ encounter with the burning bush reminds us that God often meets us in the ordinary—then asks us to do extraordinary things. This week on Round Hill Radio, we talk about holy ground, reluctant courage, and why every small step matters.

In Luke 4, Jesus returns home — and the welcome isn’t what you might expect. This episode explores the tension between comfort and calling, and what it means to live faithfully in community.

In this episode, we discuss the beginning of Jesus's public ministry, which started with a 40-day retreat in the desert. We explore the idea of a "wild place" not as a solitary escape, but as a space to encounter new voices and perspectives. Inspired by creative thinkers, we discuss how intentionally "disappearing" from our routines can open us up to new ideas and insights, allowing us to become better "receivers".
Join us as we explore the book of Nehemiah, a text that speaks to the power of collective action. We discuss how Nehemiah’s story mirrors our own community's journey and how it can be a source of inspiration as we move forward. The episode also touches on the humor and "judgy" nature of Nehemiah's first-person account and how it portrays the messy, non-linear reality of any journey toward a big goal
This week, we welcome our new associate pastor, Lillian Steinmeier, to discuss the book of Esther. We discuss the importance of context in understanding the book of Esther, including the powerful exchange in Esther 4, where Mordecai implores Esther to act with the famous line, "But who knows? Maybe it was for a moment like this that you came to be part of the royal family". We’ll also discuss the role of community support, as Esther asks the Jewish people in Susa to fast with her for three days as she prepares to risk her life by approaching the king without a summons.

In this episode, we tackle the famous seven verses of Genesis 3. What if Adam and Eve's choice wasn't just about disobedience, but a pivotal moment of creative interaction with God's purposes? We’ll also take a closer look at the detail that Adam "was with her" when Eve ate the fruit, raising questions about his passive presence and lack of resistance to the serpent's claims. This discussion challenges conventional readings and invites a deeper look at the nuances of this foundational story. #Genesis3 #BiblicalStories #AdamAndEve #CreativeInteraction #TheologicalQuestions #BibleStudy
Join us for Week 32 as we unpack Jeremiah 6:16, a deceptively short verse with profound depth. Discover why "stand at the crossroads and look, and ask for the ancient paths where the good way lies, and walk in it, and find rest for your souls" is one of Ed's favorite verses in the Bible. We'll explore the harsh context surrounding this beautiful offer of reflection and life for the soul. #Jeremiah #AncientPaths #SpiritualGuidance #RestForYourSoul #BiblicalWisdom #Podcast
Join us for Week 31 as we delve into Ezekiel 34, a powerful text about good and bad shepherds, and God's promise to personally seek out and rescue the lost, strayed, injured, and weak among the scattered. Discover how this ancient vision, which deeply influenced Ed's call to ministry, speaks to our modern world and the church's role in caring for the "disregarded". #Ezekiel34 #GoodShepherd #FaithCommunity #Ministry #SocialJustice #Podcast
Forget what you think you know about spiritual experiences. This week, we explore the "mystical" and "flamboyant" intrusion of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. From glossolalia to a reversal of Babel, we discuss how the spirit defies prediction and control, finding its own way to get its work done. #PentecostFire #DivineIntervention #MysticalExperience #HolySpiritFlow #ActsOfTheApostles #BeyondNormal
Tired of feeling like you're "not built for this" grind? This week, we explore the ancient concept of the Sabbath and challenge traditional notions of rest. From historical examples like Robert Owen's visionary textile community to modern-day "forest bathing" and even playing bubbles, discover how to reclaim your Sabbath for deep restoration. #SabbathKeeping #RestorativePractices #Wellbeing #ChristianLiving #Podcast #BeyondWork
What does it mean to be a "reconciliation entrepreneur" in today's world? Our guest, Mark Beckwith, reveals how Braver Angels works to strengthen our democratic republic by bringing people together from across the partisan divide. Hear about their work with legislators and college campuses, and how the principle of "religious" meaning "to bring people together" can be applied to bridge the gap between mainline and evangelical Christians. #ReconciliationEntrepreneur #Bipartisan #IntergroupDialogue #FaithInAction #ProblemSolvers
✨ “The Good Shepherd lays down his life… but what if that power still lives in us?” This episode explores sacred strength, spiritual caregiving, and the unexpected link between Mother’s Day and a centuries-old vision of peace.
