Let’s be frank: We never know what the next news report will say, and right now that feels scarier than usual. Many of us are sheltering in place, some working from home, some of us essential and still reporting. This week we explore the two responses: panic or denial… and introduce a possible third way to respond. And, we hope to provide some practical tips for what to do when we feel afraid.
This pandemic and having to stay at home as much as possible can be a real test of our relationships. But what if we saw this time as a chance to improve our relationships and not just struggle through them? In this week’s episode, Jon talks about the root of conflict in relationships and the solution… it’s something that may surprise you. Afterward, Jon and Liz discuss some key elements in working through conflict in relationships.
In this first episode of Together #forSalem, Jon and Aaron talk about how weird things are right now and how we can still be neighbors who are for each other even in this new normal.

What happens when we die? What will it be like? Will there be pets? How about marriage? Babies? Jon goes through a list of “So, what about…?” questions related to all things Heaven. Thanks for watching online this week, and for foreseeable future. You can still connect with us virtually, and keep checking in with your neighbors and each other. We can be the Church, be FOR each other, without a building. And contact us with your needs, questions, prayer requests, or just to say hi. See you SOON.
What people hate most about religion are judgmental hypocrites. And maybe we won’t make many friends with this one, but Christians can be the WORST. Like, if Jesus is who he said he was (loving, kind, compassionate), and Christianity is “real,” why are so many people turned off to church because of the people who are in them?! Really, it boils down to this: Hypocrisy is the difference between who we are and who we pretend to be. Well, we hope in listening to this you can find some practical steps to avoiding it, whether you’re a Jesus Follower or not.
