Can one be both a Christian and a patriot at the same time? For some in the US, it is a resounding yes, while for those who live out their Christian discipleship in a global faith community like Community of Christ, the answer is much more nuanced. In this brief episode of Coffee Connect, especially written in recognition of the United States’ Independence Day observance, host Blake Smith reminds us that although the United States is “one nation, under God,” it is not the only nation under God. He suggests that it is appropriate to love your nation, without loving all of the skeletons in its closet, as long as love of God remains one’s priority.  God doesn’t play favorites. This reflection is taken from Blake’s weekly blog, “From the Desk of...,” which posts every Thursday (with a few exceptions), and can be found at:  https://chicagomissioncenter.org/ministry/news/from-the-desk-of/Download TranscriptThanks for listening to Project Zion Podcast!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission:  “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

Do you sometimes find yourself surrounded by “toxic weeds” in your life … people whom you’d rather not be around for one reason or another? Have you ever wondered if you are the toxic “weed” in someone else’s “field?” In this episode of Coffee to Go, hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith take a look at another parable in which Jesus suggests that, in the Kingdom of God, it’s better to let the weeds grow rather than pluck them out.  After all, the “plucking” is God’s responsibility, not ours. Our responsibility is to be a nutrient for the field rather than a toxin.

Episode 139: What's Brewing with Blake Smith

Join John Hamer and Miles Fuller in an exploration of how believers can navigate Restoration faith apart from institutional definitions and culture. This means something more than just "cafeteria Mormonism"—which might fall within the ruts of traditional definitions, even if involvement is selective. In this episode, we’ll examine the ways in which frustrated members of the Restoration, and those who have moved beyond faith, can redefine terms and claim new forms of interaction that—despite the unorthodox journey—are deeply rooted in tradition, community, and identity.Thanks for listening to Project Zion Podcast!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission:  “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.
