Episode Description

Rev. Brandon Nonnemaker, Ed.D.

We spend much of our lives becoming who we think the world needs us to be, often hiding the beloved self God delighted in from the beginning. Drawing on Solomon’s prayer for a listening heart and Jesus’ parables of the mustard seed and hidden treasure, this sermon explores healing as the work of remembering, recovering, and being made whole. How might the church be a place where masks are laid down, hidden treasures are uncovered, and people become more fully alive together?
