  • Five Words for the Future

    18/08/2019 Duración: 01h10min

    In which we conclude a summer of discernment about the future of Emmaus Way with an arts-based reflection on five words that capture what we've heard and what we're carrying forward. We ask where Eway has been a space to be confronted, captivated, obligated, liberated, and invited into new life. And—if our community exists to embrace a confronting, captivating, obligating, liberating, living good news—what possibilities direct us into? Adam Barnard shapes our dialogue with songs from Bob Dylan, Damien Jurado, Big Star, Hiss Golden Messenger, Tift Merritt, and Seth Woods.

    04/08/2019 Duración: 01h10min

    Nearing the end of our summer discernment on HOW we desire to be together in the season ahead, we return again to our community's formative text, the Road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13–35). Molly leads us in dialogue about how practice permeates this text, where belief bubbles up in it, and the ways practice shapes and expands belief in both the Emmaus Road story and our Eway community.

    In which we continue a conversation on HOW we desire to be church together as Emmaus Way.

  • Waiting

    02/06/2019 Duración: 01h13min

    In which we focus our theme for the year (Bearing Witness, Reclaiming Kinship) back on our community life together, asking: HOW are we committed to being together as Emmaus Way?

Tillman, Tommy Petty, and Seth Woods.

  • Death & Resurrection

    26/05/2019 Duración: 01h11min

    In which we wrap up our Eastertide conversation around the work of resident artist Marie Curran. Marie shares an artist statement around practicing resurrection and invites anew into a difficult question: How do we—a people more comfortable in the wrestling of confession—find a bodied, right-now place for ourselves within the ultimate absolution of resurrection?

  • Practicing Resurrection

    12/05/2019 Duración: 01h18min

    In which our Eastertide resident artist Marie Curran invites us into another lovely and resurrection-haunted essay: the Prologue from Jessie van Eerden's The Long Weeping. Holding it up against the otherwise resurrection practices introduced the previous week, we look for our place within it's bracing directive: "Don't waste time on water that is not water, on thirst that is not thirst." Aiming to practice resurrection, where do we fall victim to fake water and false thirst? Where might we still locate "living water" in a world flooded with cheap imitations...and how do we tell the difference? Tim Carless contributes music from Bob Dylan, Warren Zevon, Tom Waits, and John Lennon.

  • Learning to Practice Resurrection

    05/05/2019 Duración: 01h05min

    In which we continue our Eastertide wrestling with the challenge of embracing resurrection in the midst of a world better tuned to the opposite. We seek wisdom and learning from several voices practicing a surprising, bodied, here-and-now resurrection, and ask ourselves “What kind of resurrection is this?” Adam Barnard intersperses the proceedings with songs by Iron & Wine, Field Report, Seth Woods, and Pete Seeger.

  • Surprised by Resurrection

    28/04/2019 Duración: 01h02min

    In which our resident artist for Eastertide, Marie Curran, join Molly in guiding us into conversation about becoming a people who practice resurrection. Through the lens of Marie's written work, we ask what it means to claim resurrection—the ultimate absolution—in the here and now of a world that is both very joyful and deeply messed up. Neal Curran contributes songs by Gillian Welch and Stephen Foster.

  • Easter Bodies: Alive, Vulnerable, and Free

    21/04/2019 Duración: 57min

    In which we revel in the joy and thanksgiving of Easter, and a love that overcomes death and darkness in the fleshiest of ways. Molly offers a homily on grave clothes left behind, and the verve and vulnerability Jesus' resurrection offers us as bodied people. Sus Long closes out her Lenten artist residency with a full band in tow, featuring songs by Eway's own Clinton Dreisbach, Arcade Fire, Patty Griffin, Iron & Wine, Eleanor Farjeon, and Bob Dylan.

  • Absence of Voice

    07/04/2019 Duración: 01h01min

    In which Molly continues our Lenten meditations on absence. This time, we turn to the absence of voice, through the narrative of Zechariah in Luke 1. We use our usual dialogue to communally reflect on the absence of voice, but also wade into the presence and possibility of silence.

  • Absence of Convention

    31/03/2019 Duración: 01h06min

    In which we turn our Lenten reflections toward the absence of convention. Molly leads us in dialogue around Ruth 1, and living in the unexpected grief and possibilities an absence of convention may foster. When we find ourselves (like Ruth and Naomi) living outside the comforts of convention, what fills that space? Sus Long—our resident artist for Lent—contributes an original song beside others from Patty Griffin and The Killers.

  • Absence of Order (and Control)

    24/03/2019 Duración: 01h13min

    In which we turn our Lenten meditations on absence to a lack of order and control. Ben guides us into dialogue around the Plagues of Egypt (Exodus 7–13), and we wonder what to make of a God who disorders their own created order. When we find ourselves living amidst the absence the opens in circumstances beyond our control, what fills the space? When confronted by our own impotence, what does faithful presence look like? Sus Long—our resident artist for Lent—contributes songs by Bob Dylan, The National, Birdtalker, and Sandra McCracken.

  • Absence and _______, an Emmaus Way Lent

    10/03/2019 Duración: 55min

    In which we begin a Lenten series reflecting on the absences in our lives and world, and what's left behind in the space they open up. Molly launches our conversation with the story of Jesus in the Wilderness (Luke 4:1-13), and asks: When we don’t have power (or refuse power as Jesus did), what fills that space? What becomes more present in the absence of power? Music from Neal Curran includes work by his band Infielder alongside tracks from Leonard Cohen, Mount Moriah, and The Avett Brothers.

  • Transfiguration Sunday

    03/03/2019 Duración: 01h06min

    In which we mark Transfiguration Sunday by diving into the bewildering text that inaugurated it. The mountaintop transfiguration of Jesus before his disciples falls on the last Sunday of Epiphany, before we enter into the season of Lent. So we're given a mountaintop experience to wrestle with before we enter a season of wilderness, of absence. As a people captivated by the Gospel, what are we to do with God's glory on the mountain alongside the realities of groaning waiting for us at the bottom? Jeff Crawford and band contribute a lovely collection of transfiguration-y songs.

  • Reclaiming Kinship: Is This Really It?

    17/02/2019 Duración: 01h21min

    In which we wrap up our Epiphany kinship series with a dive into Luke 6:27–38. Molly invites us into this text of (enemy) love that seems impossible to process and imperative nonetheless. A love so complex that Nadia Bolz-Weber remarks of it: "I hate that this is God’s economy. That the salvation of my enemy is tied up in my own. Which is why I sometimes say that the Gospel is like, the worst good news I’ve ever heard in my life." We dialogue and wrestle with the bad good news of this text, and its invitation into the leveling of an in-breaking Kingdom of God. Adam Barnard leads an all-star band in selections from J. Tillman, G.I. Isakov, Mary Gauthier, John Prine, and Damien Rice.

  • Reclaiming Kinship: Guilt or Responsibility?

    10/02/2019 Duración: 01h17min

    In which we turn our Epiphany examination of kinship to the Sermon on the Plain and beatitudes of Luke's Gospel (Luke 6:17-26). Ben (via Molly) urges us into the "blessed are's" and "woe unto's" of this text with attention to the friction they suggest re: our attempts to reclaim kinship. Tim Carless contributes a superlative setlist of Jackson Browne, Blind Faith, Bob Dylan, Allen Toussaint, and Curtis Mayfield.

  • Kinship & Abundance

    03/02/2019 Duración: 01h12min

    In which we follow the Epiphany lectionary into the outset of a new and reorienting kinship for Simon Peter and his fishermen colleagues (Luke 5:1–11). Crowds are taught, fish are caught, and fishermen become fishers of men. Ben continues our kinship conversation by inviting us into what this familiar story of transformation and abundance offers our hope of reclaiming kinship with God and each other. What's generative about a genuine kinship? And when we do manage to reclaim kinship. what abundance does it open to us? Jeff Crawford and friends contribute music from Dolly Parton, Porter's Gate Worship Project, Aimee Mann, Sandra McCracken, and David Byrne / Brian Eno.
