Unfolding Faith: Sermons from Foothills Unitarian

Deeper Episode 16: Preppers

This week, we're kicking off our December series: Make Room, because this Holiday season we're inviting you to make room for joy, love, hope and being present to the moment. This first week of Make Room, Rev. Gretchen Haley draws on the story of Hanukkah, the cold war, Y2K, and the great resignation, to explore what it means to be prepared.

Deeper Episode 15: It Didn‘t Start With You

This week we turn the tables and Rev. Gretchen welcomes Rev. Sean as our guest to explore intergenerational inherited ghosts.

Deeper Episode Fourteen: Outgrow Your Ghosts

Rev. Gretchen draws on religious traditions, current events, and the Thanksgiving story to explore what it means to acknowledge the ghosts of our past - our past selves, our past beliefs, our past ways of being - and tend fully to the harm, while not letting go of the hope.

Deeper Episode Thirteen: Exorcising Shame

Rev. Elaine teaches how naming our shame can be life-giving and life-saving, and Foothills' Member Erin Valenti-Nelsen shares her experience of healing after being raped.

Deeper Episode Twelve: Living with Ghosts

This week on the podcast we launch a new series - Living with Ghosts. This whole series we'll deal with our individual and collective past - how we can come to terms with the past so we can live into the future.

Deeper Episode Eleven: At the Altar of Memory

This week we talk about death and memory. Participants in Foothills Unitarian's Thoughtful Endings class, share their experiences with end-of-life directives and explore how life and death are interconnected and inform each other.

Deeper Episode Ten: Cha Ching! Let‘s talk money.

Money can be uncomfortable to talk about, but that doesn't keep money from impacting us. Which is why in this week's episode we're addressing money head-on.
