On this episode of More Than One Way, we continue discussion around the reading of scripture and how we interact with the text. Using the Jonah story as an example, we consider both the symbolism and the historical context to find wisdom for today in this ancient story. A look at the good shepherd described in John 10 guides us to consider what barriers may challenge our understanding of the deeper wisdom scripture offers.

In this episode, we revisit the Garden of Eden to consider another way of understanding Eve, the serpent, "the fall", and the implications the story carries. This is a true More Than One Way inspired discussion. We are joined by special guest The Rev. Dr. Elizabeth Peterson. She received her Master of Divinity at Columbia Theologial Seminary in Atlanta and her Doctor of Ministry from Louisville Presbyterian Seminary. She also graduated from UT College of Law in 2020 and now works as an attorney with the Tennessee Court of Appeals while preaching part time at Church of the Savior UCC in Knoxville, TN.

We take a step deeper into the Fruit of the Spirit in this episode of More Than One Way; exploring "Gentleness". While we may have our own understanding of the word, scriptural study and discussion reveal a deeper, more powerful meaning. In today's climate of power and control, gentleness offers a different way to journey through conflict.

On this ALL NEW episode of More Than One Way we visit the fruit of the spirit, specifically Peace. How do we approach, invite, and embody peace? Where do we find it? How do we promote it? Is it achievable?

The next episode in our "Favorites Season" tackles a topic that seems to be timely and on everyone's mind. Finding a way to love your enemies...or at least tolerate them. We visit the Good Samaritan story and discuss ways to put our differences aside in order that we may still be there for, or maybe even help, those we disagree with, strongly dislike, or even hate. Join us and special guest Mary Ellen Brewington as we dive in.

The next episode in our "Favorites Series" was inspired by a listener who was moved by an instagram clip and brought it with her for a discussion. Our guest, Meg Sprouse, joins a conversation about the possibilities of living fully connected to others and our environment. We explore the mystery of connections available to us in the everyday, often just beneath the surface. We hope this episode inspires courage to listen, respond, and share.

This winter we are resharing some favorite episodes. In the midst of the cool winter days and early evenings we thought it would be a great time to reshare "Humor is a Spiritual Gift". So often, it is levity that allows us to fully experience the range of emotions in grief and joy. Sometimes laughter is the healing language needed to face our circumstances. We invite you to listen for a first time or revisit this episode from your current perspective as we explore More Than One Way to consider how we see the world.
