    Freedom to Love

    What does genuine freedom actually look like? In the summer of America's 250th anniversary, this five-week series works through Paul's letter to the Galatians alongside the lives of remarkable Americans who embodied a kind of freedom that cost them something and built something lasting. Roger Williams, Anne Hutchinson, Sojourner Truth, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Greg Boyle each discovered what Paul was writing about long before they had the language for it. Freedom, it turns out, is more expansive, more costly, and more demanding than anything we celebrate with fireworks. And it has everything to do with who gets to belong. Freedom — A Five-Week Series in Galatians Shiloh United Methodist Church, Granite Quarry, NC Rev. Dr. Craig J. Sefa Podcast Intro recorded by Ariana Sefa.

    In the Waiting
    May 24 2026

    This Easter season, we’re moving beyond simply believing in the resurrection to experiencing and living it—through the eyes of those who witnessed it first.

    As you hear these stories from the perspectives of the Centurion, Peter, Mary, Cleopas and his companion, Thomas, Paul, and the disciples who witnessed Jesus’ ascension, we invite you to place yourself in their story. Where do your experiences—your questions, confusion, doubts, hopes, and fears—intersect with theirs?
