Common Grounds Episodes
This Faith Unfiltered Podcast series explores the meaning behind the seasons of the church year, how the lectionary works, and why these patterns continue to matter for faith and formation today.
Whether you’re brand new to the concept or looking to reconnect with these traditions, Common Grounds offers a clear, step-by-step orientation to this sacred cycle.
Select episodes also include special introductions to Sacred Space, a lectionary-based small group ministry resource (see episodes ES 63, 66, 67, 68, and 69).
Because in faith, as in life, the most meaningful things often begin with finding common ground.
