Life lifed this past week - from birthday celebrations and football games for one son to my other son's first lead in a play and a lot in between, the week was full, so here's a replay of one of my favorite older episodes from the first series of God Knows Where. Enjoy!
As we wind through all these stories by the riversides in our scripture, we’re confronted with one today that isn’t about healing or blessing. It’s about pain and punishment. And yet it still gives us something to chew on. Let me know what you think!
Judges 4 & 5

Taking a bit of a detour today, but still sticking with our exploration of the river stories in our scriptures to see where they guide us. True Fall is still a month away down here in south Mississippi, but this morning's crisp air got me excited about being outside again. And since we’re talking about rivers, I figured why not encourage y’all to get outside too!
So grab your coffee and go sit on the porch or ease off...
We’re exploring a new river in our series “Live Streams” today. It’s wild to me to me that it takes so long for us to start talking about the Jordan River given all that we know happens in and around it, but here we are visiting it for the first time. And it’s in one of my favorites stories too.
Let’s see what this story down by the riverside has to teach us today.

We’re going to leave the stories of Genesis behind and move on ahead to a story about Moses. They are some mentions of rivers in the stories of Jacob and Esau and in at least one dream Joseph interprets, but none that happen in the river…at least not like the story of the day Moses was found in a basket in the Nile.
Let’s see what this story down by the riverside has to teach us today.

From the rivers flowing out of Eden and the Nile where Moses was found to the crossings and healings and transformations that happen in other rivers, we’re looking at how our tradition has been shaped by the flowing, living water all around us, by both the boundaries they provide and the ones God breaks within them. Join us for episode two of "Live Streams
Today we’re looking at the second story of a river we come to in Ge...
I’ve got a stack of books on my bedside table to read all on one topic: rivers. Actually, one river. The Pascagoula and all its tributaries, including the creek that runs not far from my house. I’m fascinated by this river system, but that's a story for another day (maybe another podcast?)
But they’ve had me thinking about rivers a lot and I realized how many great stories from our tradition take place in or on the ba...
Re-sharing one of my favorite episodes from last summer's series, VBS. It's the beginning of a new school year and the message in this story from Joshua seems on target. Enjoy!
We're wrapping up our series "Be" today with a look at probably the number one thing Jesus calls us to be: Different. But how are we supposed to be different? Let's talk.

We're digging way back in the vault this week for a replay of our very first episode! We'll be back next week with a new episode to close out our current series, Be.
Hope you enjoy!
Today’s episode comes to us from a parable in Luke. It’s all about being ready…for anything. And maybe I need it more than you because it feels like every day something happens that I feel completely unprepared for…Can you relate?Let me know what you think!

We’ve talked about needing to be reconciled and renewed in this series so far and today, it’s all about being thankful. It might feel like there are fewer and fewer reasons to be thankful these days, but I hope we’ll see in looking at a story from one of Paul’s letters, that no matter what is swirling around us, we can find something for which to be thankful.
Let me know if you agree. Thanks for listening, y’all.

Let’s keep going with this series Be with another thing we’re called to be, that we don’t often take enough time to do: to be renewed and refreshed.
Let’s talk about that a little bit today and see where it leads us.
Thanks for listening, y’all.

I don’t know what Sunday was like for you, worshipping hours after news of our nation inserting itself into another violent conflict, but I often find these times to be hard and to make it difficult find or understand where God is in it all. But then, I’m reminding of where Jesus stood on issues of major disagreement and how to settle them: by seeking reconciliation. By doing the hard work of repairing relationships not the easy wo...
The world feels beyond chaotic right now and it’s had me thinking a lot about the Church, it’s role, and even some opportunities we’re missing to be who God calls us to be in moments like these.
Three years ago, I left life as pastor. I don’t think I left pastoring, I just left getting paid for it and going to an office, but before I did, I led our congregation through a short series called BE ___.

Welcome to God Knows Where. I’m Brett Harris. In this space between the series we wrapped up last week and what’s ahead came the Sunday when we celebrate the birth of the Church: Pentecost, so I figured I’d share my take on Pentecost.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what this thing we call Church is all about, what it’s for, and what a gathered community is supposed help us do. You know? Easy questions with simple answers. Mo...

We’re wrapping up Jesus Was A Loser today with a look at that last part of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s quote that we’ve yet to touch on: power. He said in order to celebrate Christmas correctly, we have to lay down our...
