South Bend City Church

Jason Miller - We often use the things we can see to describe the things we can't see, but what happens when our imagination for the spiritual life is shaped by the factory instead of the field?

Jason Miller - We have nothing to prove and failure isn't fatal. Instead of trying to perform, we're invited to practice.

Jason Miller - As we revisit our church mantras, we wanted to have an honest conversation about the tensions that surround Everyone an Icon.

Jason Miller - We're returning to our mantras for a renewed vision of our life together. This week's mantra is a reminder that not every need is a calling and an invitation to intentional simplicity.

Dr. Angela Logan teaches us about listening to the Sound of the Genuine in our lives.

Ryan Yazel - But how?! We step back for a workshop on practical neighboring.

Ryan Yazel - This week, we recognize the depth of love that comes when we allow ourselves to see & respond to the needs of others as deeply invested neighbors. We are guided by the narrative of God's love revealed to the world by investing in a chosen people. [Gen 17, Exodus 3, John 1, Hebrews 4]

Ryan Yazel - The call to love our city well can play out in a variety of ways. But the primary vision from Jesus is to simply be a good neighbor -- to see & respond well to the world around us. This week we follow the story of Jesus & the woman who had been subject to bleeding to look at what it means to see & respond to the urgent things pulling at our attention. - Luke 8, Mark 5

Jason Miller - In our final practice of this series, we celebrate the Eucharist as we discern the Body of Christ.

Jason Miller - As we put our lives back together in the wake of the pandemic, does church have a place in that new life?

Jason Miller - In this week's gatherings, we used some practices to help us welcome our bodies into prayer and encounter with God.

Jason Miller - The Psalms often speak of prayer and worship as highly embodied experiences, but Christian spaces haven't always been great in their respect for the body. What if we could reclaim prayer as a space where our bodies are as welcome as our minds and our words?

Jason Miller and Daniel Bannoura - In light of the recent escalations of violence in the Holy Land, our podcast this week features a special learning opportunity. Our Lead Pastor, Jason Miller, sat down for a conversation with Daniel Bannoura, a Palestinian who is attending grad school here in South Bend and a member of our SBCC family. Daniel shares his perspective on the conflict and an encouragement for followers of Jesus who want to serve the cause of peace.

Jason Miller - In our next cycle of Psalms and Practices, we're studying Psalm 1 and considering the different trajectories our lives can take.

Jason Miller - As we return to in-person gatherings, we're also returning to one of our mantras: practices, not performances. This week we begin with a teaching from Psalm 30 about the healing, clarity, and empowerment we can gain from narrating our past, and we're invited into a practice for next week's gatherings.

Jason Miller and Dr. Angela Logan - During Lent, we've been reflecting on our own capacity to work against God's kingdom. We've also been reading Jemar Tisby's "The Color of Compromise" to reflect on the American Church's complicity in racism as an application of this big idea. As we celebrate Holy Thursday and approach the events of Jesus' passion, our lead pastor, Jason, sat down for a conversation with Dr. Angela Logan to discuss their experiences reading the book.

Jason Miller - Judas is one of the more difficult characters in Scripture to relate to. But what if we share his capacity for infidelity? And even if we do, is betrayal the thing that makes Judas tragic?
