30 SEP. 2024 · Join Rev. Jim Keat and Rev. Mira Sawlani-Joyner as they talk about Exodus 32 and the story of the golden calf. This narrative illustrates the people's anxiety during Moses' absence and their turn to idolatry, prompting a discussion on the human tendency to react violently in times of crisis. The conversation emphasizes the need for empathy, suggesting that rather than immediately condemning the people's actions, it's essential to understand their desperation and the context of their fears.
Connecting this theme to World Communion Sunday, this conversation highlights the importance of recognizing shared pain and trauma across diverse communities, particularly in the wake of global violence. They advocate for a shift from retributive justice to restorative practices, calling for a compassionate response that fosters understanding and reconciliation. By focusing on empathy and connection, they envision a future rooted in love and justice, encouraging listeners to engage in meaningful dialogue and community-building efforts.
25 SEP. 2024 · What is happening to the children?
That's the question Rev. Adriene Thorne and Rev. Jim Keat are asking, both to this Sunday's Narrative Lectionary text and to the world around us. Join them for another weekly conversation as they take a look at what you might hear in this Sunday's sermon, share some ideas of your own, borrow whatever is useful for your context, and open yourself up to be challenged and inspired by this fresh perspective on a well known story from the book of Exodus.
17 SEP. 2024 · Let's talk about Joseph.
His story makes up such a significant part of the book of Genesis, yet he is rarely the first character that comes to mind when we think of this book.
But watch out, because Rev. Adriene is going to tell Rev. Jim about a way to look at Joseph that just might change the way you see him and his story forever.
What happens when you cozy up to the dreams of empire?
And how would you tell this story to a six year old?
Keep listening to this episode of The Word Made Fresh to find out!
12 SEP. 2024 · We're back!
Rev. Adriene Thorne and Rev. Jim Keat return for another season of The Word Made Fresh, the weekly show where they talk about the upcoming Narrative Lectionary text and give you a glimpse of what to expect this Sunday at The Riverside Church.
In this episode they talk about the first time God makes a joke, what it means to have a dynamic view of creation, and all the delicious flavors you can expect at Homecoming Sunday.
Enjoy the conversation. And then we hope to see you on Sunday!

25 JUN. 2024 · This Sunday we are celebrating Pride!
Join Rev. Adriene Thorne and Rev. Jim Keat as they talk about some of the ways we will be celebrating Pride Sunday at Riverside as well as a quick dip into 1 John 3:1-7 and how this particular Sunday frames the text in such a wonderful way.
19 JUN. 2024 · Let's talk about the "S" word.
No, not that one. We're talking about sin.
While some streams of Christianity can't get enough, in our liberal mainline Protestant bubble we tend to avoid this world, especially when it refers to the personal implications. So rather than avoiding it, let's dive in and talk about it. What is confession and why are we invited to confess our sins? Join Rev. Adriene Thorne and Rev. Jim Keat as they explore 1 John 1:1-2:2 and the sermon Rev. Thorne is assembling, though we're pretty sure they come up with at least a half dozen different sermons in this one conversation!
12 JUN. 2024 · What is Juneteenth and why are we including it in worship on Sunday?
You'll learn all that and more in this episode of The Word Made Fresh. Join Rev. Adriene Thorne and Rev. Jim Keat as they talk about what to expect on Sunday, June 16 at The Riverside Church. From a guest preacher to why we include Juneteenth but not Father's Day and more, this conversation will have you taking notes on all the new things you might learn and clearing you schedule so you are ready to spend the day with us at Riverside on Sunday.
Enjoy!
5 JUN. 2024 · What is God's name? And what does it mean to keep it holy?
These are some of the questions Rev. Jim Keat explores with Rev. Jabe Ziino on this episode of The Word Made Fresh.
Wait, who is Rev. Jabe Ziino?
He is one of the newest additions to the clergy team at Riverside. In this episode you will hear about the sermon he is preaching but you will also get to know him, what he brings to Riverside, and how he goes about crafting a sermon.
Enjoy!
27 MAY. 2024 · This Sunday we will welcome Rev. Bruce Reyes-Chow into theh pulpit at The Riverside Church. But before he steps into the pulpit Rev. Adriene Thorne and Rev. Jim Keat were excited to sit down with him to talk about his upcoming sermon and everything that he will bring. Rev. Bruce recently returned from his second trip to Palestine and while a trip to a country in the midst of conflict is not required for writing a sermon, it will inevitably inform what you have to say.
Listen in as these three Reverends talk about Palestine, preaching, and Romans 12. And be sure to join us on Sunday for a sermon (and sermon talkback after worship) that you won't want to miss!

22 MAY. 2024 · Let's talk about the revolutionary prayer of Jesus, more commonly known as the Lord's Prayer. Join Rev. Adriene Thorne and Rev. Jim Keat as they explore the first two words of this prayer – Our Father – and dip their toe in a few other well-known but often-misunderstood sections. And be sure to watch to the very end to know what phrase to drop in the comments!
