Who can preach … knowing what preaching is? Here you’ll find my attempts to make the word plain as I encourage the good people at St. Peter’s Chelsea with roughly 15 minute sermons on the lectionary text. I’m also fortunate to be able to combine these explorations with embodied meditation, offering a scripturally grounded and healing experience for parishioners.
Nathaniel’s encounter with Jesus is only the beginning. Where do we go from here? This MLK SundayLisha offers encouragement for the waiting and weary. 1.14.24
Advent I– Hope begins with the understanding of God within. Mary knows it and Celie learns it. Lisha explores the spiritual journeys of these women – Mary, the mother of Jesus and Celie Johnson from the Color Purple to offer a Modern Magnificat in this moving sermon. 12.3.23
Lisha offers an embodied meditation on the Parable of the Prodigal Son. Positing the parable as a radical journey of self discovery, one that encourages us to move past fear to embrace the offering of relentless love, she reminds of a healing grace made available to all. 3.28.22
This Lent, we focused our spiritual practice on the body. Lent is a time of repentance where we turn away from places in our lives that have been disordered and broken, and return to God fully with all of our hearts. Many of us struggle with disordered relationships with our bodies, whether the result of society’s valuing or devaluing of certain types of bodies, trauma we’ve experienced or a general disembodied existence. To remember that we are a body is to be “re-membered,” to come back to wholeness of who God has created us to be in God’s image. Join Lisha Epperson, our pastoral associate, as she leads us in this 18-minute practice of re-membering.3.4.22
