What is this podcast? Heck, I don't know! Let's find out together.

Do you like these nerdy snippets? Check out knappen.org. Knappen.org is a site full of spiritual tools, inside jokes, the home for these little recordings, bad reels, books, teaching posters, crafting weirdness, and swag because I just love this stuff. (Everybody needs a hobby.)

If you would like to hear chunks of Sunday sermons and more in-depth musings on Scripture, head over to my other podcast, Scripture Notes. You can find it online at Trinity United Methodist Church of Colusa.

Napin with a K. Call me Molly. Unless, of course, you don't believe women are fit for ministry, and in that case, you can call me Reverend Napan. I'm a second career pastor and ordained elder in the United Methodist Church, and I serve in parish ministry. I love running my mouth about God. I love thinking about spirit. I love reading and writing and making art about Jesus Christ. I love it all because everything in its many little bits and pieces all adds up to one. What is Napin with a K? Heck if I know. It's a podcast. I'm just starting it. It's attached to my website, Napin.org. And it's Napin with a K because my name is Napan, and it begins with a silent K. My website is full of spiritual tools, inside jokes, little recordings, bad reels, books, teaching posters, crafting weirdness and swag because I just love all that stuff too. Everybody needs a hobby. All these words here are mine, and everything you find on my website is my work, unless otherwise noted. Should I become impaired, busy, or find myself beyond the bounds of Wi-Fi, I might ask a friend to help. Otherwise, it's just me. This is a podcast about religion, and religion is a language of the soul. My soul encounters, wrestles with, and understands our universe using the language of Christ. Christians are different. Christians can choose to speak our trust in Christ with spiritual practices of presence and service to the world. Christians can choose to speak the language of Jesus with compassion for all and insistence upon justice for the marginalized. Christians can also choose to speak with reverence for power and malice for the vulnerable. And many Christians do. Don't be confused by a Christian accent. We're all different. Jesus gifted us a scaffold for liberation, not a cage. Grace is the birthright of all creation. Grace is your birthright too. You are beloved by God beyond measure and without regret. Yeah, you. What strange movement of the spirit led you to these words today, I will never know. But thanks for stopping by. Thanks for listening to Napin with a K. It's a podcast made by me, Reverend Molly Napan. You can find more of my stuff online at nappen.org with a K. All rights reserved.
