The Lord's Prayer, Uncensored: Part 2

Send us a textWe have named the harm. We have pulled the old house down. Now what?This week, Pastor Dan invites us to do something daring: not just vent about what broke us, but remember what blessed us. Prayer that felt human; worship that felt alive; communion that felt like belonging; community that felt like family. Maybe the problem was not the seed; maybe the problem was the soil.What if we replant the best of our evangelical past in better soil: love instead of fear, inclusion instead of gatekeeping, generosity instead of manipulation? Not a return to what was, but a reconstruction of what was good.If you are tired of living on the demolition site, this episode will hand you blueprints and set a table.#HarvestSarasota #ReconstructTheGood #HolyNostalgia #FromHarmToHealing #SeedsNotShame #BetterSoil #FaithInCommunity #TablesNotWalls #InclusiveChurch #LoveOverFear #DeconstructionAndReconstruction #BelongingTogether Harvest is a fully affirming, inclusive (including the LGBTQ+ community) progressive Christian church located in Sarasota, Florida.Follow us on Social Media:Instagram - Instagram.com/harvestsarasotaFacebook - Facebook.com/harvestsarasotaTikTok CLICK HEREDONATE to support our podcast HERERecorded live at Harvest Church in Sarasota by Michael Thomas Regina and Stephen Lehman of Boardtown Creative

Send us a textTired of the Disney version of Jesus? Same. This message rips the glitter off the Feeding of the 5,000 and asks a dangerous question: what if the miracle wasn’t supernatural bread popping out of thin air but people finally stopping the hoard and sharing what they had?Pastor Dan pushes us from miracle watching to community building. Scarcity isolates. Fear blames. But faith sets a table. Maybe the sign wasn’t bread multiplying. It was hearts multiplying. If you’re done waiting for someone else to fix it, this episode will push you lovingly into action.Listen and then bring your lunch and feed somebody.#HarvestSarasota #FromScarcityToCommunity #FeedTheCrowd #FaithInAction #LoveLooksLikeSharing #KingdomEconomy #TablesNotWalls #EverydayMiracles #BelongingThroughGenerosity #DoWhatJesusDid Harvest is a fully affirming, inclusive (including the LGBTQ+ community) progressive Christian church located in Sarasota, Florida.Follow us on Social Media:Instagram - Instagram.com/harvestsarasotaFacebook - Facebook.com/harvestsarasotaTikTok CLICK HEREDONATE to support our podcast HERERecorded live at Harvest Church in Sarasota by Michael Thomas Regina and Stephen Lehman of Boardtown Creative

Send us a textPastor Dan calls out a Christianity that looks more like empire than the Gospel. It’s raw, uncomfortable, and exactly what we need to hear.If your version of Jesus blesses your politics, your comfort, and your outrage—but never asks you to love your enemies—you’re following anybody but Jesus.From the pulpit of Harvest Sarasota, this message dismantles the idols of power, nationalism, and comfort that have hijacked the name of Christ. It’s not left or right—it’s the radical, inconvenient way of the cross.Be warned: this one might wreck your assumptions, but it could also save your faith.#HarvestSarasota #FollowingJesus #NotPolitics #TheWayOfTheCross #DeconstructToRebuild #JesusOverEmpire #LoveYourEnemies #FaithThatCosts #BoldChurch #UncomfortableTruth Harvest is a fully affirming, inclusive (including the LGBTQ+ community) progressive Christian church located in Sarasota, Florida.Follow us on Social Media:Instagram - Instagram.com/harvestsarasotaFacebook - Facebook.com/harvestsarasotaTikTok CLICK HEREDONATE to support our podcast HERERecorded live at Harvest Church in Sarasota by Michael Thomas Regina and Stephen Lehman of Boardtown Creative

Send us a textWhat if “on earth as it is in heaven” isn’t a wish, it’s a mandate? In Part 2, Pastor Dan Minor pushes the Lord’s Prayer from kingdom longing to kingdom living. Daily bread becomes a direct challenge to scarcity and hoarding. Forgiveness moves from private piety to public liberation, canceling moral shame and calling out predatory systems. And “deliver us from evil” names the evil for what it is: dehumanizing ideologies and unjust structures that keep us divided and afraid.This isn’t about worshiping personalities or waiting for heaven someday. It’s about following Jesus now, loving enemies, resisting empire, and putting bread on every table. Prayer as protest. Faith with teeth. Heaven, dragged down into policy, paycheck, and neighbor.#PrayerAsProtest #KingdomLiving #DailyBreadForAll #ForgivenessLiberates #DeliverUsFromSystems #HeavenOnEarthNow #FaithWithTeeth #JesusOverEmpire #HarvestSarasota Harvest is a fully affirming, inclusive (including the LGBTQ+ community) progressive Christian church located in Sarasota, Florida.Follow us on Social Media:Instagram - Instagram.com/harvestsarasotaFacebook - Facebook.com/harvestsarasotaTikTok CLICK HEREDONATE to support our podcast HERERecorded live at Harvest Church in Sarasota by Michael Thomas Regina and Stephen Lehman of Boardtown Creative

Send us a textWhat happens when the most familiar prayer in Christianity gets flipped on its head? Pastor Dan Minor takes Harvest Sarasota into a raw, communal breakdown of the Lord’s Prayer—line by line, through a radical lens that challenges nationalism, patriarchy, elitism, and exclusion.This isn’t the “safe” Sunday School version. This is prayer as uprising. This is dismantling “my Father” to embrace “our Father,” even if it includes the refugee, the addict, the outcast, and the enemy. It’s hallowing God’s name by refusing to let it be hijacked by war, greed, or political power. It’s asking what justice looks like when it collides with empires, and whether heaven on earth means dismantling racism, sexism, and homophobia right now—not someday in the clouds.#PrayerAsUprising #ProgressiveFaith #Lord’sPrayerUncensored #HolyDisruption #JesusOverEmpire #FaithWithoutWalls #HarvestSarasota #DanMinor Harvest is a fully affirming, inclusive (including the LGBTQ+ community) progressive Christian church located in Sarasota, Florida.Follow us on Social Media:Instagram - Instagram.com/harvestsarasotaFacebook - Facebook.com/harvestsarasotaTikTok CLICK HEREDONATE to support our podcast HERERecorded live at Harvest Church in Sarasota by Michael Thomas Regina and Stephen Lehman of Boardtown Creative

Send us a textLast week we asked if we’ve misdiagnosed the human soul. This week we get practical.Pastor Dan unpacks how inherent union with God reshapes everyday life—moving us from defensiveness, scarcity, and exclusion to compassion, joy, and radical inclusion. If shame isolates and estranges, union restores dignity and brings us home to who we’ve always been.From Jesus standing with the marginalized to how we parent, argue, forgive, and show up for our city, this message shows what happens when we stop earning love and start living from it. Less fear of punishment. More fearless love.#HarvestSarasota #InherentUnion #FaithNotFear #HealingFromShame #AlwaysSafeInGod #LiveFromLove #ProgressiveChristianity #LoveGodLovePeople #MessyFaith #SpiritualJourney #RadicalInclusion #GoodNewsGospel Harvest is a fully affirming, inclusive (including the LGBTQ+ community) progressive Christian church located in Sarasota, Florida.Follow us on Social Media:Instagram - Instagram.com/harvestsarasotaFacebook - Facebook.com/harvestsarasotaTikTok CLICK HEREDONATE to support our podcast HERERecorded live at Harvest Church in Sarasota by Michael Thomas Regina and Stephen Lehman of Boardtown Creative

Send us a textWhat if the deepest wound in the human soul isn’t sin—but shame?In this stirring message, we dive into one of the most radical shifts in Christian thought in two thousand years: moving from a doctrine of inherent separation from God to a vision of inherent union with God.With raw honesty, the sermon wrestles with the Garden story, the cross, and the very heart of the gospel. What if salvation is not about clawing our way back to a God who left us, but awakening to the truth that God never left? What if our shame, not our sin, is the lie that keeps us hiding in the bushes?This episode doesn’t just challenge centuries of teaching—it offers healing. It dares us to imagine a Christianity that begins not with fear, but with belovedness. A faith not obsessed with fixing what’s “wrong,” but resting in the God who has been with us all along.If you’ve ever carried the weight of religious shame or wondered if you were ever truly “safe” with God, this conversation liberate your soul.#HarvestSarasota #FaithWithoutFear #AlwaysSafeInGod #InherentUnion #HealingFromShame #DeconstructingFaith #ProgressiveChristianity #LoveGodLovePeople #MessyFaith #SpiritualJourney #GoodNewsGospel #FaithNotFear #stanmitchell Harvest is a fully affirming, inclusive (including the LGBTQ+ community) progressive Christian church located in Sarasota, Florida.Follow us on Social Media:Instagram - Instagram.com/harvestsarasotaFacebook - Facebook.com/harvestsarasotaTikTok CLICK HEREDONATE to support our podcast HERERecorded live at Harvest Church in Sarasota by Michael Thomas Regina and Stephen Lehman of Boardtown Creative

Send us a textWhat happens when we stop begging for a seat at the table—and build our own instead?In this provocative and hope-filled conversation, Pastor Dan sits down with Brandan Robertson—pastor, activist, and author of Queer and Christian—to talk about what it means to move beyond fear-based religion into a faith rooted in love, liberation, and authenticity.From unpacking the infamous “clobber passages” to challenging the ways institutions weaponize scripture, Brandan invites us to imagine a Christianity that looks more like Jesus and less like fear. Along the way, we hear stories of religious trauma, the lingering grip of shame, and the radical power of God’s love to set us free.If you’ve wrestled with your identity, questioned the Bible you were handed, or longed for a faith expansive enough to hold both truth and love, this episode will meet you right where you are.#HarvestSarasota #QueerAndChristian #FaithNotFear #LGBTQFaith #ProgressiveChristianity #LoveGodLovePeople #DeconstructingFaith #MessyFaith #BrandanRobertson Harvest is a fully affirming, inclusive (including the LGBTQ+ community) progressive Christian church located in Sarasota, Florida.Follow us on Social Media:Instagram - Instagram.com/harvestsarasotaFacebook - Facebook.com/harvestsarasotaTikTok CLICK HEREDONATE to support our podcast HERERecorded live at Harvest Church in Sarasota by Michael Thomas Regina and Stephen Lehman of Boardtown Creative

Send us a textWhat if uncertainty wasn’t a weakness in your faith but the very thing that makes it real? In this powerful episode, Pastor Dan invites us into a raw and honest conversation about growing up in rigid religious systems, the suffocating demand for certainty, and the guilt that comes when life doesn’t fit into neat boxes of right and wrong.Through humor, storytelling, and hard truths, we confront how fear of being “wrong” has divided families, harmed communities, and pushed many away from the church. But here’s the radical shift: what if God actually meets us in the gray? What if love, justice, and mercy are less about absolute answers and more about choosing compassion over control?From childhood stories about “sippin’ saints” to the woman caught in adultery, this episode peels back the layers of dogma to reveal a faith that breathes, bends, and dares to love in messy places.

Send us a textThe Fast God Actually ChoseWe’ve been told fasting means giving up food for a set time to get closer to God. But in Isaiah 58, God says something very different—and far more disruptive.In this message, Pastor Dan reframes “fasting” as a radical commitment to justice, compassion, and action. This isn’t about religious rituals or empty traditions. It’s about breaking the chains of injustice, feeding the hungry, sheltering the unhoused, and refusing to stay silent when the vulnerable are under attack.🔥 Why God ignores “religious” fasting while people are oppressed🔥 How early Christians became known for nursing the sick and fighting systemic injustice🔥 Why churches must stop focusing on the wrong “enemies”🔥 What fasting looks like in Sarasota today—food banks, housing, mental health care, and moreThis episode is for anyone tired of performative religion and ready to follow Jesus into real, tangible, life-changing love.#FaithInAction #JusticeAndMercy #TheFastGodChooses #ProgressiveChristianity #ReclaimJesus #ThisIsChurch #HarvestSarasota Harvest is a fully affirming, inclusive (including the LGBTQ+ community) progressive Christian church located in Sarasota, Florida.Follow us on Social Media:Instagram - Instagram.com/harvestsarasotaFacebook - Facebook.com/harvestsarasotaTikTok CLICK HEREDONATE to support our podcast HERERecorded live at Harvest Church in Sarasota by Michael Thomas Regina and Stephen Lehman of Boardtown Creative
