About this episode

Rev. KP Hong discusses the importance of communal speech and belonging in the context of Pentecost amidst societal crises.

Amid unraveling certainties and cascading crises, we witness the hollow grammar of innocence coming undone all around us. Euphemisms that anesthetize harm, official scripts that avoid responsibility, curated speech that protects us from truth and obstructs change. Yet within that collapse, the Spirit stirs, teaching the church to speech that opens memory, expands imagination, dissolves borders, and draws different people into a belonging and intimacy we once feared. Pentecost is the refusal to speak a world alone, insisting upon a new beginning born from speaking a world together. Come ready to see differently.​​ ​​ This podcast begins with a reading of The Acts of the Apostles 2:1-12 , continues with a reflection by Worship Associate Ollie Stocker, and finishes with a sermon by Rev. KP Hong.
