4-26-26 - Teaching, Learning, Growing

These are the readings for the 4th Sunday of Easter  The readings this Sunday are Acts 2:42-47, Psalm 23, 1 Peter 2:19-25, and John 10:1-10. This week we explore what migratory birds can teach us about following, learning, and thriving together. From the remarkable story of whooping cranes who must be taught their route by experienced elders, to the early church sharing everything for the common good, Tyler draws a compelling thread through Acts 2, Psalm 23, 1 Peter, and John 10 — showing that abundant life is never a solo journey. Just as migrating birds bring life and nutrients to every ecosystem they pass through, we are called to bring life to the communities we travel with. Tune in and ask yourself: where are you teaching, where are you learning, and where are you growing? Let me know what you think of it.

Remember to answer this week's question:
Where are you teaching? Where are you learning? Where are you growing? #FaithandSciPod
