With Holy Week upon us, we thought it would be wonderful to take a few moments reflecting on the Reformed view of Communion and how it compares to the views of Roman Catholicism, Lutheranism, and modern Evangelicalism. As you celebrate the Eucharist this week, we hope this episode is a helpful way of deepening your participation in this sacrament.

One of the most important questions each local congregation can ask itself is, Do we have a healthy culture of greeting and hospitality that will remove barriers and foster fellowship with newcomers and new members? In this week's episode, we dive into how having a good theology of greeting ought to radically reorient our attention away from being inwardly focused and insular to being outwardly focused and hospitable. Whether you're a church leader or just a member, we all have an important part to play in making sure our churches rightly reflect our hospitable and gracious God.

A long time has passed since our first episode on AI back in November of 2023, so we thought it would be good to revisit this topic. But rather than covering the topic from a general perspective, this time around we focus specifically on two new angles: how AI has disintegrated our ability to trust what we're told is true, and how it impacts the way we approach our work and vocations. We hope this will be a thought-provoking conversation about this timely topic.
