Fall on Your Knees: A Sermon for Christ The King Sunday

Last updated on: December 1, 2015 at 10:17 pm By Nadia Bolz Weber

Sermon on Widows, Waldo and those Needed Casseroles From God

Last updated on: November 17, 2015 at 3:12 am By Nadia Bolz Weber

(click below to listen along) It’s no big surprise to anyone that I was pretty wiped out a couple weeks ago when I finally came home from having been in 17 cities in 5 weeks –It’s a weird feeling to do a thing like that and it would be an understatement to say that I felt depleted and like I’d somehow been consumed whole. All the so-called “self-care” tricks didn’t seem to be helping. I slept and exercised and tried... Read more

Jesus Isn’t The Sears Wishbook

Last updated on: August 24, 2015 at 4:19 pm By Nadia Bolz Weber

Click below to listen along….. Every single year when I was growing up, sometime in late Fall, our family, like so many other families in America, would receive an enormous catalog from a department store. On the cover would be some kind of shiny image of perfect children unwrapping gifts under a Christmas tree and inside were hundreds of glossy pages of clothes and appliances and tools and home goods and finally – toys.

Sermon on how the good is so good and the bad is so useful

Last updated on: August 18, 2015 at 8:35 pm By Nadia Bolz Weber

(click above the listen along) 3 days ago, someone who, up until then I thought was my friend, tagged a super unflattering photo of me on Facebook. In which, for some reason, I looked both dim-witted and morbidly obese. And it bothered me all day because everyone knows Facebook is the place where we can all be pathologically attractive and happy and funny and have lives that are portrayed as nothing but the highlight reel. I was so bummed about... Read more

It was a huge struggle and I was too in my head about it…trying to make sure I said all the things I thought they’d want me to say and wanting it to be a “good sermon” because I knew the Presiding Bishop and lots of synodical bishops and seminary professors and people I respect...

(click above to listen along) He said to them, “Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat.
