このコンテンツについて

What if church wasn’t about rules, but about relationship? What if sermons didn’t just tell you what to believe, but invited you to think, wrestle, and wonder? A New Take on Faith is the weekly sermon podcast from Saint Matthew Lutheran Church in Walnut Creek, where we explore scripture through a lens of grace, justice, curiosity, and hope. Whether you’re deconstructing, reconstructing, or just trying to find something real, this is a space where questions are welcome, stories matter, and the love of Jesus meets you exactly where you are.


Each episode features a message that speaks to the messy beauty of life, the radical call of the gospel, and the way God shows up in surprising places. Subscribe to journey with us — we’re not here to give you all the answers, but to walk together toward something true.

  • The Tent, the Outsider, and the Overflow: Amos and the Hope of Restoration
    2025/05/28

    After nine chapters of thunderous judgment, Amos ends not with doom, but with a vision of divine restoration. In this episode, we explore the final verses of Amos 9, where tents are rebuilt, outsiders are welcomed, and the hills overflow with sweet wine. Pastor Mike unpacks how God’s justice isn’t about punishment for punishment’s sake, it’s about making room for new life. You’ll hear stories of cracked soil, ancient feasts, and radical inclusion that invite us to reimagine what God’s abundance looks like in our world today. If you’ve ever wondered whether God can build with the broken, you’ll want to hear this.

  • The Drift Toward Numbness: When Comfort Becomes Dangerous
    2025/05/19

    What happens when we get too comfortable? In this week’s episode, we explore Amos 6 and 8 and the haunting warning of a “famine of hearing the word of the Lord.” Through powerful storytelling, a personal encounter in a boutique hotel, and a snorkeling trip gone adrift, this message challenges us to examine where comfort might be dulling our compassion. You’ll discover how spiritual complacency creeps in—not with dramatic rebellion, but with quiet distraction—and why justice and hunger for God are inseparable. If you've ever felt numb, distant, or spiritually starved, this one’s for you. Wake up. Lean in. Let hunger lead you home.

  • When Worship Isn’t Enough: Choosing Truth Over Niceness
    2025/05/13

    What if the real danger to our faith communities isn’t conflict—but the silence we keep to avoid it? This week’s message challenges the illusion of peace that comes from “being nice,” exposing how that desire for cohesion can actually cost us connection, authenticity, and justice. As we continue our journey through Amos, we hear the uncomfortable but necessary truth: God isn’t impressed by worship that avoids the hard conversations. In a season filled with transition, tenderness, and truth-telling, this episode invites us to reject performance and embrace prophetic honesty—in our churches, our families, and our everyday lives. If you've ever felt the tension between keeping the peace and speaking your truth, this one is for you.
