What does it mean to be a people of peace, and how do we create sacred community beyond the walls of a church building? In this episode of What's Brewing, Blake Smith visits with Chelsea Reimers about the Nomads for Peace and Love, an emerging ministry that brought together a diverse group of Christ followers for a cross-country bicycle pilgrimage from Georgia to Independence, Missouri. Along the way, the group prayed for individuals and world leaders, connected with strangers, built community, and discovered that being a people of peace requires more than a common destination—it requires grace, forgiveness, humility, and a willingness to put others before ourselves. Chelsea shares how the journey transformed her understanding of peace and reminds us that peace begins within us, and building sacred community is hard work—but work that is always worth doing.

Got oil for your lamp? Get ready... Jesus is coming. In this episode of Coffee to Go, Karin and Blake explore Jesus’ parable of the wise and foolish bridesmaids in Matthew 25:1–13, discovering that spiritual preparedness is about much more than waiting for the future. Through the lens of Community of Christ’s understanding of kingdom living, they consider how we can live God's reign in the here and now through humble service, generosity, justice, and peacebuilding. A personal story and some thoughtful questions invite us to consider how we might better prepare ourselves to welcome others, respond to needs, and participate in God’s mission right where we are.

We’ve all seen Saints depicted in stained-glass windows in grand cathedrals, but what if we looked at the people whose lives have touched our own as saints? In this episode of Coffee to Go, Karin Peter and Blake Smith explore All Saints’ Day through Psalm 34, reflecting on grief, mortality, remembrance, and the great cloud of witnesses that connects us across generations. Through the invitation to “taste and see” God's goodness, they consider how all five senses can help us recognize and experience the divine in our everyday lives. Join them for a meaningful spiritual practice that invites you to remember those who have shaped your journey of faith and share your own experiences of encountering the holy.

What happens when even the apostle Paul’s best efforts don’t go according to plan? This week on Coffee to Go, Karin Peter and Blake Smith explore 1 Thessalonians 2:1–8, reflecting on the challenges faced by the early Christian community and Paul’s reminder that faithfulness is often forged through struggle. Together, they consider how easily we can lose perspective on our own hardships, overlook the suffering of others, and forget the importance of acknowledging those who have helped us along the way. Through Paul’s tender image of nurturing care, we’re invited to consider how we can embody God’s compassion and remind others that they are deeply loved and cared for.

Where Does Your Ultimate Allegiance Belong? What happens when faith and politics collide? In this episode of Coffee to Go, Karin Peter and Blake Smith explore Matthew 22:15–22, where Jesus faces a tricky question about paying taxes to Caesar and challenges his listeners to think more deeply about the relationship between religion, government, and power. Together, they invite us to examine where we place our faith and allegiance—and whether our political perspectives sometimes overshadow our commitment to God. Through thoughtful reflection and a practical spiritual exercise, discover how the simple reminder “Today I belong to God” can help align our words, choices, and actions with God’s purposes of love, compassion, and justice.

What are the golden calves in our lives—and what happens when we start worshiping what we treasure most? This week on Coffee to Go, Karin Peter and Blake Smith explore Exodus 32:1–14, where the Israelites grow impatient, turn to a golden calf, and discover the consequences of losing trust in the God they cannot see. Connecting this ancient story to modern nationalism, Christian exceptionalism, and the ways fear and power can marginalize others, Karin and Blake invite us to examine our own allegiances and ask where we stand when people are oppressed. Join the conversation as we reflect on what it means to recognize the holy beyond what we can see, challenge the idols competing for our attention, and live out Christ’s call to love one another.

October invites us to slow down, breathe deeply, and rediscover our connection to the sacred world around us. In this guided meditation, Robin Linkhart invites us to notice the changing seasons, honor the goodness of creation, and gently acknowledge the places where Earth is hurting. Rather than carrying the weight of saving the whole world, we are encouraged to consider one small, faithful choice we can make to live more gently and responsibly. As gratitude becomes responsibility and awareness becomes compassion, may this practice help us recognize that we are not separate from creation—we belong to it.

Are the Ten Commandments a rigid tool for control or a roadmap for sacred community and liberation? In this episode of Coffee to Go, Karin and Blake explore Exodus 20 and the story of Mount Sinai. They unpack how foundational laws were given to shape a wandering group of former slaves into a healthy, fair community—and how those same scriptures have been used both to manipulate and to inspire major societal change, such as the abolitionist movement.
Join the conversation as they examine the interplay of liberation, law, and worship, discuss overcoming fear-based faith, and offer a practical homework challenge comparing the Ten Commandments with Community of Christ’s Enduring Principles.

What happens when we’re thirsty and God doesn’t seem to be providing what we need? In Exodus 17, the Israelites’ physical thirst becomes a deeper question of faith: “Is the Lord among us or not?” Karin and Blake explore how suffering can make us forget what we’ve already experienced of God, while also challenging us to move beyond asking “Where is God?” to “How do I respond?” From humanitarian organizations to the everyday ways we embody God’s presence, this episode invites us to notice the holy at work—and become part of relieving the suffering around us.

Are spirituality and theology dependent on one another? Although there are many in today’s world who would say they are “spiritual but not religious,” it would seem that spirituality would at least be closely connected with theology. In this episode of Percolating on Faith, taken from the old Project Zion Podcast archives, Carla Long sits down with Tony and Charmaine Chvala-Smith to talk about spirituality and theology, where they intersect, and why they are, in fact, dependent on each other.

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 becoming that care in the world through concrete choices and daily practices.

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. Rick reflects on how the tradition continues to grow through dialogue, grassroots participation, and self-critique. The conversation also considers how climate change, migration, poverty, and human rights are deeply interconnected—and why the church cannot remain on the sidelines. At the heart of it all is a simple but challenging conviction: if all are one in Christ, then our faith calls us to keep wrestling with what justice looks like in practice.

How many times are we really supposed to forgive someone—seven times, seventy times seven, or until we finally get the point? In this episode of Coffee to Go, Karin Peter and Blake Smith explore Jesus’ challenging—and slightly exasperated—response to Peter’s question about forgiveness in Matthew 18. Beyond counting offenses, the conversation invites us to consider how every word, choice, and interaction sends energy into our communities, either contributing to what is life-giving or what is harmful. So this week, check your vibes: What are you sending out into the world, and are you creating more space for forgiveness, connection, and goodness?

What happens when science and faith look at the same universe? In this episode of Climate Brewing, Susan Oxley sits down with retired NASA scientist and Community of Christ minister Steve Dunagan to explore the remarkable intersection of earth science, climate change, faith, and a lifelong curiosity about creation. Steve shares how his NASA career led him from aeronautical research into Earth science and climate research—and why understanding creation can also be a way of understanding the Creator. Along the way, he reflects on the challenges facing our planet, the importance of paying attention to what science reveals, and the practices of gratitude, spiritual formation, and Christian community that continue to give him hope.

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 and to rehearse a different response—one rooted in the way of Jesus.

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. From choosing the recycling bin to building a local climate action team, this conversation reminds us that we don’t have to solve the whole problem—we simply need to take the next right step, with hope, courage, and love.

What relationships in your life are more important than any issue or event that may have broken them down? Join hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith for a brief exploration of Joseph’s emotional reunion with his brothers and sit with the challenging idea that every hardship isn’t always somehow part of God’s plan. Instead, consider where God is present when the blessing doesn’t come—and discover the deeper blessing found in healing, restored relationships, and reconciliation. Grab your coffee and join the conversation as we reflect on how we can move from asking “Why is this happening to me?” to trusting, “God is with me. I am not alone.”

When family rivalry, favoritism, and betrayal send a young dreamer into a pit, things can get a little crazy. This week on Coffee to Go, hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith explore the complicated story of Joseph and his brothers in Genesis 37, uncovering themes of injustice, human brokenness, and the ways we lift others up—or put them down. As Joseph’s story points toward a larger biblical narrative, we’re invited to examine our own relationships and ask: Who have I lifted up today, and who have I put down? Join the conversation and discover a simple spiritual practice for increasing the “ups” and reducing the “downs” in our lives.
