"Do not sleep through this life when God has called you to be a blessing."

In this season after Pentecost, Rev. Dr. Joe Evans invites us to consider where God is calling us to faithful presence today. Not someday. Not somewhere else. Right here, among the people and places already entrusted to us.

What might change if we saw our daily lives as opportunities to bless others?

Why Did Sarah Laugh? Embracing God's Holy Absurdity - Episode 4238 | Rev. Dr. Casey Sigmon 06/14/2026

Good Sunday morning from Day1.

Today on the Day1 Radio Show, Rev. Dr. Casey Sigmon invites us into the surprising story of Sarah's laughter and God's ability to bring new possibilities where we see only endings.

In a world that often feels cynical and settled, this sermon reminds us that God's grace still interrupts our assumptions and opens unexpected paths forward.

Why Did Sarah Laugh? Embracing God's Holy Absurdity - Episode 4238 | Rev. Dr. Casey Sigmon In this episode of Day1, Rev. Dr. Casey Sigmon, associate professor...

06/13/2026

In this Day1 interview, Rev. Dr. Katie Givens Kime and Rev. Dr. Casey Sigmon explore what it takes to move beyond cynicism and toward hope.

“I can't think of a way that we think ourselves out of cynicism.”

Instead, Casey suggests that transformation begins with action, relationship, and openness to the unexpected.

What small act of faith, hospitality, or courage might help loosen cynicism's grip on your life?

In this Day1 interview, Rev. Dr. Katie Givens Kime talks with Rev. Dr. Casey Sigmon about AI, preaching, and the life of the church.

“Every visit, every time we're in community, every time we are sitting in meetings, that's not a distraction away from preaching. It actually is a fundamental part of the preaching practice.”

In a world focused on efficiency, this conversation asks a deeper question: What if presence matters more?

In this sermon from the Day1 Radio Show and Day1 Weekly Podcast, Rev. Dr. Casey Sigmon reflects on the surprising ways God enters our lives.

“But then God arrived as a stranger, having a rest and a meal beneath the trees with good news to share. And Sarah laughed. Because when God shows up, stories we thought were settled forever are not settled after all.”

What if the story you think is over is only waiting for God to arrive?

Some stories feel finished. Some prayers feel unanswered. Some possibilities seem long gone. Rev. Dr. Casey Sigmon offers a different perspective:

“When God shows up, stories we thought were settled forever are not settled after all.”

On this 3rd Sunday after Pentecost, where might God still be at work in a story you've already given up on?

This week on Day1, Rev. Dr. Casey Sigmon of Saint Paul School of Theology in Leawood, Kansas brings a thoughtful and hope-filled message titled “Why Did Sarah Laugh? Embracing God’s Holy Absurdity.”

Drawing from the story of Sarah, this sermon invites us to consider the surprising ways God works beyond our expectations. When God's promises seem improbable, impossible, or even laughable, faith calls us to remain open to holy possibilities we cannot yet imagine.

What promise of God feels difficult to trust in your life right now?
