Episode Description: Jessica B. Harris may have been born and raised in New York City, but she has Tennessee roots through her father and has spent much of her life split between homes in the Northeast and the South – specifically New Orleans. For more than fifty years, she has been a college professor, a writer, and a lecturer, and her many books have earned her a reputation as an authority on food of the African Diaspora, as well as a lifetime achievement award from the James Beard Foundation. A few years back, Netflix adapted her book, High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America , into a 4 part docuseries. And I’m very proud to say that she’s a longtime contributor to Southern Living with a regular column called The Welcome Table. This episode was recorded in the Southern Living Birmingham studios, and Sid and Jessica talked about her mother’s signature mac and cheese, the cast-iron skillet she’d be sure to save if ever her house were on fire, and her dear friend, the late New Orleans chef Leah Chase.

We don’t need a sermon, we need a call to action... and that’s what we get in the fourth chapter of Luke. And, it’s at the heart of the Community of Christ Mission Initiatives. In this episode of Coffee to God, hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith talk about Christ’s brief appearance in the synagogue where he quotes from Isaiah, and then proclaims that “this has been fulfilled in your hearing.” The question is, were they listening? Are we? And, are we ready to hear it for what it is ... and respond?

We could all use a little reminding every once in a while. In the midst of chaos and hectic schedules, the call to do something uncomfortable is easily shrugged off with extremely relevant rationalizations as to why we can’t. That’s why Jesus promised an advocate. Unfortunately, however, the advocate of whom he spoke is not there to speak on our behalf, but rather to remind us of our call and conviction. We have been given the peace of Christ to reside in us, and that, believe it or not, is enough to get us through.

We live in a world where it seems to have become easier to build walls than to sit and listen to one another... much less love one another.

There are times when we take our bodies for granted... abusing them with lengthy to-do lists of tasks that test the limits of our capacity. We go about our lives as if the “vessels” we have been given are unshakable, unbreakable, and without limits. How often to we thank others for the things they do for us, yet forget to take time to thank our bodies for getting us through the day. Join host and apostle designate, Shannon McAdam, for a blessing of the body.

For Peter and the disciples, it was fishing. For some, it’s a hike in the mountains or a stroll on the beach. No matter where it is, Jesus meets us where we are. Join hosts Karin and Blake for a closer look at the disciples’ response to Jesus’ appearance in John 21:1-19. Download Transcript Thanks for listening to Project Zion Podcast!

Many look to their faith for direction and answers to things happening in the world while others suggest that the church should stick to theology and spirituality. The reality is that churches are speaking up about justice issues facing the world and especially in the United States, but where is Community of Christ’ voice in all of this? There are people who wonder why Community of Christ seems silent in the midst of injustices being experienced by so many. In this Extra Shot episode, which is a cross-post from a personal posting of Matt Frizzell, Matt makes it clear that the church has spoken. As a matter of fact, we the church, have been speaking for decades through legislation and conference action. The only thing left to wonder is when we will use the words, witness, and vision of our prophetic voice to stand against the injustices whose existence we have long acknowledged as a people.

There is a lot of history and context, both inside and outside the church, that accompanies the sections in Community of Christ’s Doctrine and Covenants. Over the years, some of the sections have been removed due to a lack of alignment with Community of Christ identity, message, mission, and beliefs. Other sections have been questioned because of the language used at the time of writing. Guests, Paul DeBarthe and David Hall share with Mary Anne and Kassie why they feel it is so important to consider a Bicentennial edition of the Doctrine and Covenants (G-8) that fills the gaps left for those who wish to study its message by providing background narratives. They also lift up their sense of call to gather materials across time and faith traditions that capture Divine guidance to humanity and put them in a resource that would benefit all (G-9).

You can almost hear the kids saying, “Are we there yet?” And the answer is NO! We are still on the road to Jerusalem with Jesus, and Jesus is still encountering people asking questions to which he has already given answers. And yet, he tells a parable that reinforces just how merciful and patient he is with those who haven’t borne fruit, even though he has shown them the way...God’s way. Join hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith for a conversation about the importance of turning and going “another” way ... a way that is not our own. We are no better or worse than those who have gone before us, and we still have questions. Thank God for the season of Lent... a time to reflect and turn.
