Blessed Holy Week to you, Cafeterians! In lieu of our usual episode, this week we wanted to share a sermon from friend and colleague Amy Courts Koopman. Amy is a gifted preacher and musician, and she often writes songs as sermons. This time, she wrote both, and it is just too good not to share with all of you.

Natalia and Emmy tackle two news stories from the last week and what they have to say about our faith in public life and politics. It’s a longer episode, but both stories deserve the time and conversation. We hope you’ll continue talking with us about it in our facebook group or instagram. Also, note that this episode refers to infertility, IVF, abortion, and suicide, so if any of those topics are tender for you - please do what you need to do to care for yourself and your well-being.
