It's one of the greatest joys of our lives on this podcast to have friends (and listeners) from all over the world. UCO is a part of an international “community of communities” called The Sword of the Spirit that allows us to connect with people from all over. In this episode we talk to a number of friends about their experiences of what it is like to live in the US as foreigners. They share what they have noticed, find strange, and want to incorporate into their own lives. --- Email: [email protected] Voicemail: (248) 792-8169 Links: Spotify | Apple | Podcast Page

Today we meditate on the Cross of Jesus Christ through Matthew's gospel. This is a meditative reading of Matthew 26–27 (ESV) in 7 segments. We encourage you to pause the episode and spend some time in silence after each section to consider the Lord's love for you and the world. Our prayer is that you meet Christ, the Risen Lord, in this time. Also, we are taking some time to celebrate next week and won't release any episodes until next Friday. God bless your Easter celebration (to you Westerners) and your Holy Week (to our Eastern brothers and sisters)!
