Harmony: Yes | Naked Spirituality Series

Thursday, November 17, 2022 • Duration 32:00

Many of the greatest stories in the Bible start with one person who said, “yes.” Today, lead pastor Josh Scott continues our “Naked Spirituality Series” by discussing the word “yes.” He looks back at examples throughout scripture of people who said yes to new possibilities, and he reminds us that saying yes also requires us to say no to things that get in the way of whatever new thing we’re stepping into.

Episode Recap:

Harmony is not simplicity 2.0, it’s a new orientation (0:10)
Many of the great stories in the Bible start with someone saying “yes” (5:29)
Yes is ultimately about openness and possibility (10:25)
Yes is about knowing what is ours to do (14:46)
Yes is actually about no (19:45)
What are you being invited to say yes to, and what “no’s” do you need to stand by? (26:40)

As we move out of a season of perplexity, we can start to experience harmony, which comes when we let go of our search for certainty. Today, Children and Student Director Tiffany Dowdy continues our “Naked Spirituality” series by reflecting on the word “behold.” Tiffany explains how we can experience harmony by simply existing in the current moment, and they remind us that the goal is not to arrive somewhere, but rather just to remember that we are loved.

Harmony isn’t apathy, it’s mindfulness (5:44)

Wherever you are, you are OK (21:11)

Perplexity: No + Why | Naked Spirituality Series

Thursday, October 27, 2022 • Duration 32:59

When you’re in a season of deconstruction or disorientation, it’s natural and important to say “no” and ask “why.” Today, lead pastor Josh Scott continues our “Naked Spirituality” series by unpacking the role that these two words play during the season of perplexity. He also shares how he sees “no” and “why” reflected in the Psalms, as the writers experienced orientation and disorientation, before then finding a new orientation.

Episode Recap:

Perplexity is a season of deconstruction (0:10)
“No” is about rejecting something that doesn’t work, (4:04)
“Why” is often less about receiving an answer and more about lamenting (5:22)
The Psalms reflect orientation, disorientation, and new orientation (8:23)
“No” helps us set boundaries (13:58)
Embracing “why” is accepting that questions are an important part of faith (18:53)
Disorientation and deconstruction are completely natural (24:35)
There’s no going back, but you can find a new orientation (28:00)

Thursday, October 20, 2022 • Duration 40:33

Just as summer fades into autumn, our spiritual journeys will naturally include a transition from the season of complexity to one of perplexity. And in that season, it’s normal and even healthy to ask the question “When will this be over?” Today, Hunter Wade continues our “Naked Spirituality” series by discussing the idea of “when.” Hunter reflects on her own journey of asking “when” and explains how we can show up for people in our lives who are asking this question.

In the autumn of spirituality, complexity gives way to perplexity (4:26)
Perplexity happens when our spiritual practices feel like they’ve stopped working (7:08)
The season of perplexity often leads us to ask “when” this will end (14:04)
The psalms of lament remind us it’s OK to be brutally honest with God (18:53)
There’s only one answer to “when,” and it’s “too long” (29:37)
Bearing witness to the “when” is a spiritual practice (35:57)

Complexity: Please | Naked Spirituality Series

Wednesday, October 12, 2022 • Duration 31:11

What if prayer is less about asking God to intervene on someone’s behalf and more about becoming aware of the ways we can show up to meet people’s needs? Today, lead pastor Josh Scott continues our “Naked Spirituality” series by unpacking some of the ways that the word “please” can shift our awareness, move us to compassion, and inspire us to take action. He explains how “please” reminds us that the world is bigger than just our needs and desires and encourages us to show up for the people around us.

Episode Recap:

In the season of complexity, we realize that life is lived in the gray area (0:10)
Please is about realizing that we’re not the center of the universe (2:09)
If you treat prayer like a wishlist you’ll be discouraged when it doesn’t work (6:46)
When we pray for others, it opens our awareness to the world’s needs (10:33)
Prayer moves us to compassion, and compassion creates complexity (14:54)
The goal of compassion is ultimately action (21:15)
What if “please” wasn’t asking God to intervene, but showing up ourselves? (27:13)

Complexity: Help | Naked Spirituality Series

Thursday, October 6, 2022 • Duration 37:04

At some point in our lives, many of us start to believe that asking for help is a sign of weakness or inadequacy. In reality, “help” is an invitation to build relationships and establish a stronger and deeper form of community. Today, lead pastor Josh Scott continues our “Naked Spirituality” series by exploring why “help” is so hard to say but so important to embrace as part of your spiritual journey. He also reminds listeners that no matter who you are, you already belong.

Complexity: Sorry | Naked Spirituality Series

Wednesday, September 28, 2022 • Duration 40:42

To say we’re sorry can feel incredibly vulnerable, especially when we believe that we’re supposed to be perfect. But “sorry” is ultimately grounded in self-examination, and it has an important role to play as our faith evolves. Today, lead pastor Josh Scott moves us into the second part of our “Naked Spirituality” series, which is focused on complexity. He shares how making peace with the idea of “sorry” can help us come to terms with our own humanity and embrace the fact that we are always in process.

Episode Recap:

Today we’ll transition into talking about the 2nd season of spirituality: complexity (0:10)
“Sorry” is a difficult word for many of us because it makes us feel vulnerable (4:23)
We’re all beautifully, wonderfully human, a mix of soil and divine breath (11:42)
Sorry is grounded in self-examination (13:55)
To be human is to be in process (20:51)
When we accept that we’re in process, it’s easier to admit mistakes (24:00)
Sorry is about processing our failures (31:03)
