...with Rev. Tracy Sprowls. Music: Bhakti Chan. A kind of flipping of the tables. Instead of a sermon, Tracy offers you a chance to ask the questions on your mind or in your heart. What have you wanted to hear me talk about? This isn't an opportunity to stump the minister but a chance to go deep on matters concerning you. Feel free to send a question in early or ask on Sunday.

Join together in songs of protest and inspiration to action.

...with Jamie Stitzer and Cathi Alloway. Music: Dr. Adam Smith The “Steps” to self-improvement have small beginnings, but each Step builds the “ladder” out of the pit of despair to new hope. Honesty becomes my ”tool” to unfurl the “chains” which bound me.

with Ashley Hamlin.
