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 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.

  • The Roar That Shakes the Sanctuary: Amos and the Ache for Justice
    2025/05/12

    What happens when God says, “Enough”? In this first episode of our Let Justice Roll series, we journey with the unlikely prophet Amos—a fig tree farmer with no prophetic credentials—whose voice still echoes through time with holy disruption. This is not just a message for ancient Israel. It’s for us, now. Through vivid storytelling, piercing honesty, and the thunder of divine heartbreak, we explore what true justice means—and how God’s roar isn’t condemnation, but a wake-up call. Discover why justice isn’t a footnote of faith, but its very foundation. What if your cracked places are the very vessels God wants to use? What if worship isn’t complete until it flows into the streets? This episode will challenge, stir, and reorient you to the heart of a God who still roars—for mercy, for justice, and for us.
