681 | Coffee to Go | Last Sunday of Epiphany (Transfiguration Sunday)

Got a tent?  Doesn’t matter. You won’t be needing one anyway.  We won’t be on the mountain long enough to get it set up. We will, however, be there long enough to see Jesus get lit… well… lit up … as in the transfiguration. Join Hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith as they, along with…

Remember the day when we used to share meals in each other’s homes? Maybe that wasn’t ever a “thing” where and when you were growing up, but that’s where Jesus is today … in the house of Simon and Andrew to share a meal.  At least that was the original intent.  Join co-hosts Karin Peter…

667 | Coffee to Go | Epiphany

Today is Epiphany … the day when we celebrate the revelation and acknowledgment that Jesus is the Son of God, and that he has come for all people.

Faithful action and wisdom take center stage in today’s episode of Coffee to Go. Even Jesus takes on a secondary role. Today is all about Anna and Simeon and Mary and Joseph.
