Jason Miller - We're living in a moment that one journalist described as "The Anti-Social Century." And whether you feel the consequences of our growing disconnection or not, the decline in community and belonging is causing real problems for all of us. But what if this modern problem can be addressed by an ancient solution - a practice that has always been within reach for the Church? 
If you're interested in joining a local Table this fall but have questions, stick around after either gathering on August 16th for an interest meeting. If you're a long-distance community member and want more information on our Table via Zoom, email Becky Ykema.

Sean Palmer - What would you do if you believed you could not fail, that God and God's kingdom was always near you, especially after failure? In our second week of Jesus Stories, Sean Palmer asks if it could be that God is inviting you to step into a new venture, new season, or new identity and promises to be with you.

Jason Miller - If the Psalms give us an anatomy of the soul, then we should figure out what to do with its prayers of penitence. Is "sin" a concept that still matters, and if so, how should we think about it when it's been used in such harmful or unhelpful ways?

Jason Miller and Shannon Cullinan - You may have seen the news about our new neighbors in downtown South Bend. The University of Notre Dame is undertaking a major redevelopment project, and the other South Bend Tribune building just to the south of our home is at the center of that project. Our lead pastor, Jason Miller, sat down with the University's executive vice president, Shannon Cullinan, to talk about the origin of the project, the vision for the neighborhood, and the concerns that some may have as changes come to downtown. To learn more and see renderings of the work, visit https://www.colfaxcorner.com/.

Becky Ykema and Jason Miller - Our very own Becky Ykema has gathered up years of experience from different church contexts to write a book that's full of wisdom. Her new work, Composing Church, encourages us in what can happen when we leave behind the image management and performance pressure and reclaim a space to be with God and one another. In our gatherings this week, our lead pastor, Jason, sat down with Becky to draw out the stories and insights she shares in her book. If you'd like to get a copy, find it on Amazon.
