Pope Francis Has the World Talking About the Right Things

Last updated on: November 27, 2013 at 7:29 am   By Tim Suttle

Pope Francis continues to subvert conservative politics as it relates to the Christian faith. Income Inequality, consumerism, and individualism played a major role in Pope Francis’ latest writings, an Apostolic Exhortation called Evangelii Guadium. Here are a few highlights:   THE CHURCH “I prefer a Church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a Church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security.” 49 INCOME INEQUALITY... Read more

The Holiday Season is Here – Are You Ready for Your Family?

Last updated on: November 26, 2013 at 12:43 pm   By Tim Suttle

I come from a family of six. My mom and dad were high school sweethearts who married young and have stayed together for 50 years. They had four kids in about 10 minutes, and all of us crowded into a small three bedroom house that burned nearly to the ground when I was six. My parents rebuilt, kept the wheels from coming off the cart, and grew close without too much in the way of scars. Mom and dad were... Read more

Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: November 25, 2013 at 8:08 am   By Tim Suttle

I confess that things got a little bit nutty in our worship service yesterday. We’ve come to expect the Sunday after the first intense cold snap in KC will be a bit of a challenge for our church. Twenty-five or thirty homeless folks who are part of our congregation will be coming in from the cold, and they are often a little out of control that day. Some come because they are a part of our church, and they want... Read more

An Ex-Mouseketeer’s Journey Back to Christianity

Last updated on: November 23, 2013 at 7:03 am   By Tim Suttle

So the crop of Mouseketeer’s from the early nineties was fairly fertile. Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Keri Russell, Christina Aguilera, and Ryan Goslin. But the lesser known story of one former Disney teen star is pretty interesting. This is from an article in The New York Times: But Teo Bishop, while keeping up a career in pop music, accomplished something less predictable and altogether curiouser. Beginning about three years ago, he began a rise to prominence in the Pagan community. Then,... Read more

St. Francis of Assisi and the True Self

Last updated on: October 4, 2019 at 1:42 pm   By Tim Suttle

At Redemption Church where I pastor, we are in the midst of a preaching series called The Communion of Saints. This past week we studied the life of St. Francis of Assisi. Most of us know at least a little something about St. Francis. Born to a wealthy merchant father, Francis grew up a child of privilege. He was a magnetic personality and by the time he was a young man he was somewhat of a ringleader among Assisi’s younger... Read more

Landfillharmonic: Because Ultimately Music Will Triumph Everywhere and Anywhere

Last updated on: November 20, 2013 at 7:40 am   By Tim Suttle

The kingdom of God is like a garbage dump … trash and refuse as far as the eye can see; where poverty and pollution rule and reign. Until a few men of great imagination started picking through the garbage, and where everyone else saw useless trash, they saw musical instruments. People of great ingenuity beat the garbage into violins, cellos, trumpets and clarinets and taught some of the poorest kids on the planet how to play music. Now, everywhere they... Read more

Stephen Colbert Roasts the Pope

Last updated on: November 19, 2013 at 6:32 am   By Tim Suttle

Stephen Colbert, who (when in character) calls himself America’s most famous Catholic, spoke at the Al Smith Dinner last month. Colbert, who maintains a friendship with Cardinal Timothy Dolan, brought his usual irreverent humor for the crowd, including a few zingers for the Pope. Here’s hoping that one difference between Pope Francis and his predecessor is a sense of humor. Something tells me that Pope Francis would have like Colbert’s shtick, assuming the bit translates well into Spanish. If you... Read more

Monday Morning Confessional: Zombies, Neo-Cons, and Biographies

Last updated on: November 18, 2013 at 8:59 am   By Tim Suttle

I confess that I want to like Zombie movies, but as yet have not watched any. I watched the old Donald Sutherland Invasion of the Body Snatchers, is that considered to be a Zombie flick? See, I’m not even qualified to talk about the genre. I confess that sometime in my near future, I’m going to go on a serious Zombie kick and catch up. It seems like the best critique of capitalism/consumerism happening in popular culture. I confess that... Read more
