We’ve turned intuition into a buzzword—flattened it into a slogan, a gut feeling, or a vague whisper we don’t always know how to hear. But what if intuition is so much more? What if it's one of the most powerful tools we have—and we’ve just forgotten how to use it? In this episode, I’m joined by Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir , Icelandic thought leader, filmmaker, and author of InnSæi: Icelandic Wisdom for Turbulent Times . Hrund has spent over 20 years studying and teaching the science and art of intuition through her TED Talk, Netflix documentary (InnSæi: The Power of Intuition), and global work on leadership, innovation, and inner knowing. Together, we explore what intuition really is (hint: not woo-woo), how to cultivate it in a culture obsessed with logic and overthinking, and why your ability to listen to yourself might be the most essential skill you can develop. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ Why we’ve misunderstood intuition—and how to reclaim it ✅ Practical ways to strengthen your intuitive muscle ✅ What Icelandic wisdom teaches us about inner knowing ✅ How to use intuition during uncertainty and decision-making ✅ Why trusting yourself is an act of rebellion (and power) Intuition isn’t magic—it’s a deep, internal guidance system that already exists inside you. The question is: are you listening?

So how does one take a real rest in a culture that never sleeps, when screens are never far away, and when you live with other people - big and small, that require ongoing care? In this podcast, David Sauder reflects on the invitation to practice Sabbath.
Our question for this week is some variation of "How can anyone claim there is one true faith?" Not an easy topic to address in a culture that values tolerance as highly as we do! We will explore some encounters with Jesus as told to us in Mark 2:1-12, and in John 4. Speaker: Brian Wiens
The question, "Is there a God?" isn't only a theoretical question, but an intensely practical one. The meaning of life, hope for the future, questions about the origin of the universe, and foundations for morality, are all intricately linked to how we answer that primary question. But how do we answer that question? Speaker - Brian Wiens. *Note - the recording is a big choppy in a few places. We had lots of dialogue but cut out those parts to protect people's privacy.…
God continues to pursue Jacob! What could possibly motivate God to take on human form and wrestle hand to hand with Jacob? This session explores the astounding and mysterious events of Genesis 32. Speaker: Brian Wiens
We are deep into the story of God's initiative toward humanity as told in Genesis. This Sunday will be our second week exploring God's pursuit of Jacob, the schemer and grasper. Of course, Jacob isn't altogether unique. What is your angle on making life work the way you want? Speaker: Brian Wiens Scripture: Genesis 29-31 Note - The audio for part 1 of Jacob's story was damaged and couldn't be salvaged.…
The story of the transfiguration isn't easy to understand. The event itself is highly unusual, but what did it mean for Peter, James, and John, and what might it mean for us today? Gil Klassen explores those questions as he dives into Mark 9:1-10 and Matthew 17:1-9.
We all want to live a blessed life. But what is the pathway to that blessing? In this segment we consider part of the saga of Jacob - a man chosen by God, but a man intent on living a blessed life by his own means. You can follow along in Genesis 25:19-34 and Genesis 28:10-22. Speaker: Brian Wiens Note: The sound quality is a bit rough this week. We will work at getting that sorted out!!…
Guest speaker, Paul Woodward, explores why it is that we are to gather together, and what worship is really about. He begins with the questions, why do you go to church when you do go, and why don't you go when you don't go? And what do the Scripture teach us about why we should gather? Scripture: Psalm 95…
As we follow the story of Abram and Sarai we are surprised to observe that God takes what is already impossible (a barren couple promised a child), and makes it even more impossible by waiting until it is biologically impossible for the couple to conceive. What happens next can guide us in understanding how God works to bring about His new kingdom in the world and what it means for us to persevere in faith. Scripture: Genesis 16:1 - 18:15. Speaker: Brian…
What do you do when the gap between what you believe about God and His promises and what you are experiencing gets large? This Sunday we will continue our journey with Abram and Sarai and consider how God called them to a faith that was almost scandalous. Scripture: Genesis 15 and Romans 4 Speaker: Brian Wiens…
It is one thing to trust God in theory; it is entirely another thing to trust God in practice when things that are important to us are in jeopardy. This Sunday we will follow the story of Abram as he moves from admirable faith in God into anxiety and fear. To keep up with the story you can read Genesis 12 and 13. Speaker: Brian Scripture Passage: Genesis 12:10 - 13:18…
Genesis is a story of many beginnings, including the amazing account of God's initiative toward one man, his family, and his descendants. The stories that follow are messy but also full of hope and promise. This Sunday we will begin with Genesis 12:1-9 and the story of God's initial call to Abram. Speaker: Brian…
Change is hard - New Year's resolutions included. In this session, we explore some insights from Romans 12:1-2 that can help us move beyond our own efforts to change to receiving the mercy and help of God. Scripture: Romans 12:1-2 Speaker: Brian
In a culture where the original story of the advent of Jesus Christ seems distant, we listen again to the amazing encounter between Gabriel and Mary and consider its implications for our lives. Scripture: Luke 1:26-38 Speaker: BW
