Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”
“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.
He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”
Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”
Jesus said to her, “Mary.”
She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).
Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.
- John 20: 11-18
Jesus is calling your name. Meditate on this passage and spend some time with Isaac's art today. What is striking you?
#redemptionhill #artists #lent #journeywithjesus #easter
It’s Eastertide, and with that, a powerful episode from Jessie on our desires, needs, and why we are afraid to be vulnerable and present those to Jesus. She takes us through several narratives of Jesus, ending with the resurrection and his appearance to Mary Magdalene and the other disciples. Jesus is always present with us, and wants to hear in our voices what we want from him. Whether you’re feeling disillusioned with what feels like a distant Jesus or full of praise and hope this Easter, this episode is for you!
#whatdoyouwant #redemptionhillboise #easter
Easter is tomorrow! We can't wait to gather together and celebrate the pivotal event that is the center of the Kingdom of God- resurrection and new life, hopeful and unexpected!
Join us at 9am at 1177 N Roosevelt St, Boise, ID 83706. We'll have an Easter Egg hunt for the littles at 10:15 directly following the service. We have bags for egg collecting, so you don't need to bring an Easter basket.
RH parents, please check in your kids by 8:45 to make space for new folks who might be visiting and clear out the check-in area.
Please park on the street or in the youth house parking lot to make space for visitors and Discovery's congregation.
We'll see you soon!
#redemptionhill #easter
Good Friday is tomorrow. Join us for a quiet, candlelit service where we remember Jesus' sacrifice and enter into the waiting for resurrection together. There will be prayer stations set up, so feel free to come early or stay later after to participate with those.
The service begins at 6pm and will go no later than 7pm. We'll meet in the sanctuary at Discovery.

But as he came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep. “How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace. But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes. Before long your enemies will build ramparts against your walls and encircle you and close in on you from every side. They will crush you into the ground, and your children with you. Your enemies will not leave a single stone in place, because you did not recognize it when God visited you.”- Luke 19:41-44
How often do we fail to miss God in our ordinary moments? When God is present but we do not recognize it as God?
This Holy Week, tune your hearts, eyes, and ears to your present with the intent of noticing God with Us. God is there; let us learn more and more how to recognize God!
#holyweek #redemptionboise #luke #presentjesus #visiblejesus
"As he rode along, the crowds spread out their garments on the road ahead of him. When he reached the place where the road started down the Mount of Olives, all of his followers began to shout and sing as they walked along, praising God for all the wonderful miracles they had seen.
“Blessings on the King who comes in the name of the Lord!
Peace in heaven, and glory in highest heaven!”
But some of the Pharisees among the crowd said, “Teacher, rebuke your followers for saying things like that!”
He replied, “If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!”" - Luke 19
Meditate on this passage and beautiful art piece by Robin Meacham today. Take time to praise God for all the miracles you've seen in your life. Resist explaining them away!

For our final episode of Journey with Jesus before Easter, Bob walks us through not only the Palm Sunday narrative, but the events directly preceding and following what is known as the Triumphant Entry. He weaves together the story of Zaccheus, one of Jesus’ parables, Jesus weeping over Jerusalem, and turning over the tables in the temple to demonstrate Jesus’ desire for us to be in friendship and relationship with everyone in love. Jesus did not want us to make barriers to entry, but to tear down the dividing walls of hostility in our homes, churches, and crowds.

The Boise Underground Training Community is TOMORROW, from 6-8pm at Discovery in the Fellowship Hall.
We'll be following up on concepts discussed at the conference last month, and digging into practical strategies for discipleship, neighborhood outreach, and more.
See you tomorrow!
#redemptionhillboise #boiseunderground #microchurch
What kindness that the gift of Lent is that God is making his home among us, transforming the Kingdom of Darkness into the Kingdom of Light.
The Kingdom of God is now, Jesus says. He is, even now, even here, making his home in every corner of our lives, breathing life into the dead places. Where do you sense him stirring?
#ezekiel #lent #redemptionhillboise #journeywithjesus
“Son of man, these bones represent the people of Israel. They are saying, ‘We have become old, dry bones—all hope is gone. Our nation is finished.’ Therefore, prophesy to them and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: O my people, I will open your graves of exile and cause you to rise again. Then I will bring you back to the land of Israel. When this happens, O my people, you will know that I am the Lord. I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live again and return home to your own land. Then you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken, and I have done what I said. Yes, the Lord has spoken!’” - Ezekiel 37:11-14 (NLT)
This is a wild passage from the Old Testament, and we loved getting to meditate on it together on Sunday. Read Ezekiel 37 again on your own today, spend time with our RH Kid, Theo's, art, and see what God might be speaking to you through Ezekiel's prophecy, even now.
#ezekiel #prophecy #redemptionhillboise #lent #journeywithjesus #art
For our next episode of our Journey with Jesus series, Andrew talks us through the near-mystical stories of Ezekiel and the Valley of Dry Bones, and the story of the Irish saint St. Winnifred. He talks about cynicism vs. belief, our own dry bones, and how God is committed to bringing us back to life for the sake of the world.

“We proclaim to you the one who existed from the beginning, whom we have heard and seen. We saw him with our own eyes and touched him with our own hands. He is the Word of life. This one who is life itself was revealed to us, and we have seen him. And now we testify and proclaim to you that he is the one who is eternal life. He was with the Father, and then he was revealed to us. We proclaim to you what we ourselves have actually seen and heard so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We are writing these things so that you may fully share our joy.” (1 John 1)

Touchable Jesus, by Clint Kofoed
Today, meditate on John’s words while spending time with this week’s beautiful art piece.
#1john1 #lent #redemptionhill
As the deer longs for streams of water,
so I long for you, O God.
I thirst for God, the living God.
When can I go and stand before him?
Day and night I have only tears for food,
while my enemies continually taunt me, saying,
“Where is this God of yours?”
My heart is breaking
as I remember how it used to be:
I walked among the crowds of worshipers,
leading a great procession to the house of God,
singing for joy and giving thanks
amid the sound of a great celebration!
Why am I discouraged?
Why is my heart so sad?
I will put my hope in God!
I will praise him again—
my Savior and my God!
(psalm 42)
***
Meditate on the Psalmist’s poem today, and spend time with last week’s art, by @theinternship_rh student Lyla Cabral!
Today, Robert dives into the story of St. Brandon the traveler. In examining St. Brandon’s story in conjunction with the story of Jesus sending out the disciples, Robert challenges us to set down what we think we need–possessions, plans, provisions–and seek the Father’s presence, open-handed to receive what he promises: our daily bread, enough for the journey.
#lent #redemptionhillboise
Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean.
Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Our other artist for Psalm 51 this week was one of our @theinternship_rh students, Rory Hibbard. Today as you fast, take a moment to sit with the psalm and Rory's work and see what comes up for you.
(If you haven't already, scroll back to the other art piece we posted for this week as well!)

We got to host @undergroundnetwork ‘s Jeremy Stevens this weekend for the Everyday Mission Conference, and this last Sunday morning. He walked us through Matthew 14, offering us a new lens to look at the story of Peter walking on the water, and how that can encourage us in our own journeys as we learn to follow Jesus.

“His prayer life is forged in his suffering.” For our first sermon series of Lent, Journey with Jesus, we’re examining the lives of Celtic saints during the dark ages, and how those spiritual practices we learn from them impact our lives today. Our first episode is on St. Patrick, and what it looks like to return to the dark places God has redeemed us from; God wants to take our stories of pain and use them to bring healing to a world in desperate need of healing.
Listen in wherever you get your podcasts!
#journeywithjesus #stpatrick #redemptionhillboise
For us as a church, Lent is not just an individual journey, but a corporate one—an invitation for all of us to engage together in practices that draw us closer to God. It is a season of intentionally stepping back from distractions and focusing on the things of God—prayer, Scripture, and acts of service and sacrifice. This year, it also includes a time of invitation to corporate fasting, practicing hearing from God together.
Friday Fast Directions:
This will be a 24 hour, or 2 meals, fasting discipline for adults. We do not recommend any fasting for children, and we also understand that for people with a history of eating disorders, people who are medically fragile, or for pregnant and nursing mothers, fasting may not be a healthy option; please do whatever is best for you, and we would still love to see and hear from you on Friday nights!
For those of us who are able, we will stop eating after dinner on Thursday, fast through breakfast and lunch on Friday, and then gather together at Discovery at 6:00pm to take communion together and pray before we go our separate ways to eat dinner with friends and family. Our time in the sanctuary on Fridays will be all together, kids included. We'll have some fun prayer activities to engage our kids and all their senses, and we will have some guidance for the adults and older children in how we'll pray and listen each week. Our job is to fast, and then show up for each other on Friday nights. Then we'll see what God is saying to us as family and pray for breakthrough in all of these embattled spaces in our lives.
We will specifically be praying for:
1. Our new children's pastor, someone who will love our families and lead our RH kids after Grandma Robin retires this spring.
2. People in our lives who don't know Jesus yet.
3. Holy Spirit presence and personal renewal in the people of Redemption Hill.
Questions? Comment or DM us here, or reach out to jessie@redemptionboise.org.
See you tonight!
#redemptionhillboise #lent
Lent has begun! It is a time, as Jessie said on Sunday, to empty ourselves in order to fill ourselves with more of Jesus, examining our twitches and impulses, and allowing God to refine our hearts before Easter.
Please join us as we fast as a community every Friday for the six weeks of Lent. We will specifically be fasting and praying for:
1. Our new children’s pastor, someone who will love our families and lead our RH kids after Grandma Robin retires this spring.
2. People in our lives who don’t know Jesus yet.
3. Holy Spirit presence and personal renewal in the people of Redemption Hill.
We’ll be breaking our fast together as a community every Friday, with prayer and communion from 6-7pm at Discovery.

“Salvation is breathing room.”
For our last episode of Visible Jesus, Jessie takes us home with a conversation on Spiritual Conversations, our tendency to gate-keep the Kingdom of God, and how God helps us to redefine grace and love. What a gift that God wants everyone at his party, and that we get to participate in the invitation.
Listen in wherever you get your podcasts!
#redemptionhillboise #visiblejesus
Holding back from registering for the Everyday Mission Conference because you think it's just for micro church, RH, or huddle leaders? Well....
you'd be wrong! Because the conference is for everyone that loves Jesus and wants to learn more about how to live like Him in our ever shifting world.
(Plus, we'd argue that we're all leaders in our own lives, or at least have the capability to be!)
So, will we see you there? It's March 14-15 and only costs $25/household for the entire weekend, with $10 student tickets available as well.
Register at www.boiseunderground.org/everydaymission

Isn't Ash Wednesday for Catholics? What even is it (and what's the point?)
Yes, and no. Ash Wednesday is celebrated by Protestants and Catholics alike, from as far back as the Reformation. This day kicks off the church season of Lent, a 40 day period where we fast and pray leading up to Easter, echoing Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness.
It's a season where we remember our mortality as we wait for the Springtime of Jesus' resurrection, and the reality that life with Jesus offers us. The ashes are a tactical way that we can remember our true nature and the phenomenal juxtaposition of life on our own vs. life with Christ.
What other questions do you have about Ash Wednesday? Drop them in the comments and we'll answer them next week.
#ashwednesday #redemptionhillboise

We're just a few weeks away from Lent, the 40 days before Easter where we spend intentional time in prayer and fasting to prepare our hearts for the resurrection of Jesus, and the places where resurrection and transformation is happening in our own lives.
We start the season with a gathering called Ash Wednesday. Our RH Youth are hosting this small, meditative service this year in the Youth House on March 5th at 7pm.
We'd love to see you there!

If you're continually finding yourself saying things like...
"What even is micro church and how do I do it?"
"I wish I could be discipled but I don't know who to ask or where to start"
"Should I be discipling other people, even if I don't feel ready?"
"There is no way I could lead a Bible Study or even tell my friends about God"
... you should come to our monthly Boise Underground Training Community. The next one is this SUNDAY, February 16th at 6pm. We talk about discipleship, how to be a neighbor, practical tips for micro church, and more. Join us at Discovery Church for dinner and training!

Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent (the 40 days leading up to Easter). It falls on the Wednesday seven weeks before Easter. Often, ashes are put on each person's forehead as a reminder of their mortality, as referenced in Genesis, “you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
The youth are hosting a quiet, reflective Ash Wednesday service this year on March 5th, at 7pm in the youth house. We'd love to have you there!

“You are bringing deliverance instead of naming the deliverer.” Jessie talks about spiritual conversations and the Holy Spirit in today’s episode of Visible Jesus. She walks through who is actually doing the work in our evangelism, switching the paradigm off of ourselves as the main character and placing it upon the Spirit who is always working, and what holy curiosity could do in our day to day conversations with the people we see every day.

“Every soil is worth the seed.” For our next episode of our Visible Jesus series, Jessie takes us through an examination of why we sometimes feel queasy talking about Jesus, and asks us to look at who the Jesus we believe in actually is, who He loves, who He heals, and who he says we ought to love. The episode is peppered with important questions: who did Jesus say to love, do we actually love Jesus, and will you tell God’s story?

It’s the last week of Advent, and we focus on the story of Jesus’ birth from a new perspective. Kyle walks us through the way the birth of Jesus is woven through the Biblical narrative (not just in our familiar story), and why the fact that Jesus resists power and comes as a baby is so significant. He encourages us to pay attention to the dragons that are in our lives this Christmas season, and take a cue from Jesus when considering how to respond.

For our third week of advent, we’re focusing on the way that Jesus’ coming to the shepherds hints at the way he defies our expectations throughout his life and ours, too.

What is Advent?
Ad - vent: (n.) the arrival of a notable person, thing, or event
The season of advent is the four weeks before Christmas, when we seek to set down what distracts us, and intentionally sit in stillness to meditate on the significance of Jesus' coming.
During a season that often feels hectic, with so much to do–presents, parties, decorations, events–advent is a time to push back against the culture and pay attention.
We pay attention to all the areas in our lives and our world that seem dark or overwhelming. We notice places we are clinging to control because we are desperate for radical change. We remember the need we have for a good king.
Advent is about slowing down to notice the places where the light is shining through the darkness, and practicing holding hope that the light will come even if we don't see it yet.
It's about preparing our hearts so that when the great light comes, when our God moves in next door, when the Word is made flesh and dwells among us, we don't miss it.
Isaiah sums it up best:
The people who walk in darkness
will see a great light.
For those who live in a land of deep darkness,
a light will shine.
Let's celebrate this magnificent joy, this radical hope, this radiant peace, together.
Join us at Redemption Hill this advent:
December 15: Kids Christmas Program, 9am
December 24: Christmas Eve Service, 3:00pm and 4:30pm
Both events at 1177 N Roosevelt St, Boise, ID 83706.

Advent has begun! We start in the quiet darkness of Isaiah, and this ancient Hebrew prophecy of the coming king. Robert talks about the impossible hope of Christmas, and how this tiny baby king is the fulfilment of the peace we still long for today.

You are not responsible for correcting everything.
In this heated season for the Church and the country, Robert gives us a good and timely word on how to actually live with the peace of God being our ultimate good. What does it look like to be in relationship with people with whom you disagree? How do you attach in a healthy way to your community and your important relationships without forming a codependent bond? And what does that have to do with identity?

We’re almost to the end of Romans, and for today’s episode, Andrew dives into Paul’s exhortation to the Gentiles and Jews in Rome in Romans 14. We talk about the good news of Jesus’ lordship, how perspective shifts change the way we live in the kingdom, and the age old question: how to get along with people in the Church who hold different beliefs than you do.
Listen in wherever you get your podcasts.
