After four years of faithful service, leadership and love at First UMC Port St. John, Pastor Chris Tabone is stepping into a new chapter and we are sending him off with gratitude and hope.

In this special two part episode series, we sit down with PC for a candid and heartfelt conversation about his time with us at First UMC.

Grab a cup of coffee, sit back and enjoy the conversation.

We dig into one of Jesus’ most provocative parables — the Workers in the Vineyard. Why do all the workers get paid the same, no matter how long they worked? What does this say about God’s sense of justice, our tendency to compare, and the radical generosity of grace?

Join us as we break down the story, wrestle with questions of fairness, and uncover what this parable reveals about the heart of God. Whether you feel like you’ve been showing up early and working hard, or you’ve just arrived and are still figuring it out — this message is for you.

Tune in, and remember - in God’s vineyard, the invitation itself is the reward.

In this episode we unpack the Parable of the Sower and explore what kind of “soil” our hearts really are. Are we open and ready for God’s Word, or are we distracted, shallow, or overgrown with worry?

Tune in for real talk, relatable reflection, and a simple challenge to help you grow deeper this week.

Plus - reminder that Vacation Bible School (VBS) is right around the corner and you can help out.

So, grab your coffee, take a breath, and let’s lean in together.
