Meet the Artists is a new series exploring the purpose and mystery of art woven throughout human history. From ancient pottery and paintings to landscaping, cooking, sewing, and countless other disciplines, artistic expression has always been part of what it means to be human.

In our opening episode, we reflect on why creativity persists across the ages. We consider how our impulse to create, bring beauty, and restore order points to something deeper within us. Art is not only enrichment; it is a necessary thread in the fabric of daily life. Choosing to cultivate beauty in ordinary moments truly matters to us personally and to those with whom we live.

After this introduction, we’ll sit down each week of the series with a local artist to hear how art shapes their story, their work, and their understanding of the world. We hope you’ll find a moment to join us for the conversation.

What does faithful observance of Lent involve? Is it a necessary practice for a believer, or is it optional?

In this standalone episode, Gretchen and Jennifer discuss the purpose and spirit of the Lenten season as we move towards Resurrection Day.

Intentional fasting, contemplation, self-examination, confession, and prayer are just a few of the spiritual disciplines that can bring about the restoration of our hearts and minds during this 40-day wilderness journey.

Whether you’re new to observing Lent or it’s an annual practice for you, we hope you’ll find a moment to listen to this conversation for resources, encouragement, and a reminder that your everyday life matters.

What does compassion look like when someone in our lives is suffering? Are there both practical and meaningful ways that we might care for a loved one in their season of grief?

This episode is the second half of our conversation with our friend, Catherine Fitzgerald. After her brother suddenly passed away, her pain was multiplied by an unexpected loss of community. Over the course of her healing journey, she dove headlong into self-education, with an insatiable appetite for research on how trauma affects the brain and body. Spiritually, Catherine found her faith to be more refined and purified as a result, less focused on easy answers and more rooted in honest presence with pain.

She also became keenly aware that our culture often lacks the confidence to respond to suffering with compassion. From this realization, Catherine began to articulate a vision of grief as something that must be companion­ed and witnessed, not fixed or rushed through. She speaks to the power of the ministry of presence: having the courage to walk alongside someone, to stay, to listen, and to offer simple, practical care when words fall short. Grief is so deeply personal and unique, which can also lead to isolation… because no one really understands. For this reason, what heals is not advice, but people willing to show up, again and again.

In this episode, Catherine invites us to rethink how we care for one another in loss, and what it truly means to love someone well in their season of grief. Her recommendations for books and resources are thorough and broad, so please check our show notes for those as well. We hope you’ll find a moment to listen and learn how to enter someone else’s dark season with tenderness and love.

Grieving a loved one is an experience shared by all of humanity. And yet, while grief acquaints itself with each of us, we find ourselves uncertain when someone close to us suffers.

We aren’t sure what to say…

We don’t want to bring up the pain…

We want to fix the hurt and relieve the sorrow…

So we end up saying nothing.

This is precisely why we want you to meet our dear friend, Catherine Fitzgerald. Our two-part conversation will reveal a heart laid bare, confessing the rawness of her brother's death, a journey through a dark night of the soul, and then the process of rebuilding her heart, mind, and soul towards wholeness.

Her story will give you the courage to enter into your own healing journey and to be better equipped to offer compassionate witness and love to those who suffer. Catherine has courageously undertaken the transformative work of self education and spiritual healing, and by giving her pain a purpose, her story testifies that, with Christ, nothing indeed is wasted.

This episode is opening our first series of Season Two of Find a Moment. These conversations will be focused on grief and suffering… an experience that touches every one of us in some measure and spares no season of life.

In this powerful conversation, we sit down with our dear friend and worship leader, Taya Johnson, whose story is marked by unimaginable loss and resilient faith.

At just 27 years old, Taya’s testimony includes a volume of tragedy that has shaped her young life in profound ways.

Taya shares openly about grief, worship, and what it means to persist in trusting God when the pain feels unbearable. Her faith is hard-won, deeply rooted, and formed in the valley. Even in sorrow, she continues to be a beacon of hope and light for her family, friends, and congregation.

The episode is an invitation to find a moment to sit with grief, to honor loss, and to discover that Jesus meets us most tenderly in our deepest pain. May your own tender encounters with grief and suffering be soothed by the knowledge that you are not alone and that there is hope.

Stepping into each new year prompts us to pause for reflection and contemplation. In our first episode of Season Two, we share our personal processes for discerning our words for the year: how we listen, notice, and invite both wisdom and strategy.

We share honestly about what it looks like to stay focused on those words throughout the year—not as rigid goals, but as invitations for alignment, honing, and recalibration. This is a conversation about partnership with Christ as we allow our internal narratives to be reshaped by truth, learning to preserve our ideals in the midst of everyday life.

We also acknowledge the sacred limits of our own effort. Even as we synthesize and grow, there are places only God can sift... spaces of sanctification that cannot be rushed or controlled. Together we are called into the tending of many landscapes of our lives: the overgrown, the barren, and the already-tidy, trusting God to meet us in each one.

Whether you choose a word for the year or not, this episode invites you to ponder afresh how you’re being formed, guided, and gently refined as a new season unfolds.
