Where the Story Finds Us
Where the Story Finds Us is a weekly sermon podcast from Rev. Anthony Spearhart, a gay ordained pastor in the United Church of Christ. Rooted in Sunday worship, these messages are shaped by scripture, story, Spirit, and everyday life — offering a sacred word of hope, grace, justice, and belonging. No matter who you are, who you love, how you identify, what you carry, or where you find yourself on life’s journey, this is a place to listen, wonder, and find our way together.
