Change is often hard and even uncomfortable. It can also be threatening when someone else’s change for the better makes us look bad, or when the change challenges our own sense of power and/or control. In this episode of Coffee to Go, hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith explore the Gospel of Luke's account of Jesus healing a demon-possessed man, highlighting the political and social implications of Jesus' actions and emphasizing the importance of recognizing and challenging oppressive systems.

Although the church ought to always be a place of healing and renewal, we are all human, and pain and struggle sometimes manifest themselves in our lives as a result of the church. In this episode of Chai Can’t Even, we hear from Bren Williams, a lifelong church member and certified hypnosis professional, who shares her transformative journey in the Community of Christ with host, Blake Smith. Bren’s story is one of heartbreak and healing. It’s also a story of continual transformation, not unlike that which the Church has experienced since its beginning.

If you’d like to contact Bren, you can reach her through her website, www.awakenhypnosis.com or by phone at 480.493.2473.

Community of Christ’s 2025 World Conference has come and gone, but the excitement and challenge felt by those gathered has not yet waned. In the quiet moments after the “storm” of Conference, newly ordained Apostle, Matt Frizzell, sat in his new office reflecting on what had taken place and what it meant for him ... and for us ... as we move into the future. In this special episode of What’s Brewing, Matt asks us to dream with him. Imagine what we can accomplish in this world if we first choose to dream... and then make that dream a reality.
