997 | Coffee to Go | Proper 20 | Year A

What if the bread we need each day is more than food—it’s a reminder of God’s presence? In this episode of Coffee to Go, manna in the wilderness becomes an invitation to notice divine care, cultivate daily practices, and become that presence for others—especially those who hunger. Together, Karin and Blake ask how our own lives can become a reflection of God’s presence for others, especially those experiencing hunger and suffering. The episode invites us to move beyond remembering God’s care to

As we prepare for the 2026 Peace Forum, we are again digging back into the Project Zion Podcast archives to bring you this episode in which Karin Peter sits down with Rick Sarre to explore how Community of Christ’s understanding and practice of justice has evolved—and how justice is inseparable from peace, empowerment, and discipleship.

How many times are we really supposed to forgive someone—seven times, seventy times seven, or until we finally get the point?

994 | Coffee to Go | Proper 18 | Year A

The most faithful thing you can do is simply choose love! In this episode of Coffee to Go, Karin Peter and Blake Smith explore Paul’s words in Romans 13 and the radical idea that love—not rules, judgment, culture, or retribution—is what fulfills the law. They unpack what it means to “put on” Christ-like love as a way of being: actively caring, serving, showing compassion, and choosing love even when it’s difficult. Along the way, they challenge us to notice where culture pulls us away from love

362 | Climate Brewing | Engaging the Faith Community | RE-POST

What if the first step toward climate justice isn’t solving the crisis—but learning to cherish creation? With the 2026 Peace Forum focused on the environment just around the corner, we thought it would be a good time to pull this episode of Climate Brewing from the Project Zion Podcast vault. Here, Katie and Zac Harmon-McLaughlin explore climate change as a deeply spiritual issue, inviting us to recognize our belonging within the interconnected web of God’s creation.
