Building a thriving business isn't always about rapid expansion. When should you hit the accelerator on growth, and when should you pump the brakes? Jannese and Austin are in Nashville, Tennessee to talk with Taku Zhou and Sibusiso Ajayi of TKZ Architecture LLC to explore this crucial entrepreneurial crossroads. The duo shares candid insights from their journey building TKZ Architecture, revealing the moments they knew it was time to scale – and importantly, when it wasn't. They discuss how they balanced the allure of growth against the need to strengthen their foundation through refined workflows, established protocols, and market positioning. Tune in as we unpack the strategic decision-making that goes into sustainable business expansion and learn the telltale signs that you're ready for growth and how to execute that transition successfully.

April 13, 2025 // Christ Collides with our Blinders // Palm Sunday 20:52

1 day ago20:52

20:52

The first Palm Sunday was a festive day of cheers, songs, and... tears? Even before the cries of "Hosanna" give way to the betrayals and trials of Holy Week, Jesus is defying the expectations of friends and foes alike. Why did everyone seem to miss what Jesus was doing and saying in these final days of his life? Do we see and hear any better or do our own expectations get in the way of seeing things clearly?…

41:17

This Sunday we welcomed Dwight Eisler and his friend Lynal Ernest. From Dwight: Our lent season has the theme “Christ Collides” and this week it is “Christ collides with Our Blinders”. I think in some way we all struggle with seeing people as people at times. The scripture passages we read (Luke 18:31-19:10) talks about that. I want to focus on the process of getting to know the person we think is the “other”. I have gotten to know Lynal over the past three years in our community and we have had conversations that have been a wonderful learning experience for both of us. I have discovered that Lynal is a First Nations drummer, singer, travels extensively, and has begun to be a voice of sharing about First Nations at many gatherings. The process has deeply affected me, and I would like others to know about someone’s struggles and successes, so the “other” becomes a friend. I hope you find something engaging in this conversation with Lynal.…

2 days ago26:31

26:31

This week's parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16) is uncomfortable! A harsh condemnation, complete with angels, hellfire and "a great gulf fixed" between the two. Are the wealthy really doomed to a fate of torment? Should I be worried about my own selfish tendencies? Another disorienting week of Lent 2025... join us in the underworld, if you dare!…

This Sunday we got to view the Parables of the Lost Things in Luke 15:1-32 from three different perspectives. WMC’ers Kristen Harder, Marc Blain and Phyllis Goertz each shared a reflection on all or a portion of the scripture passage.

March 16, 2025 // Christ Collides with our Condemnation // Lent 2 18:41

30 days ago18:41

18:41

We often assume that as followers of Jesus, we are called not to condemn, but our passage from Luke 13 complicates that. Jesus refuses to condemn people who are suffering as "sinners" deserving of their fate, but he also has harsh words for political and religious leaders who abuse their power. So Jesus calls us not to condemn or dehumanize people, but we do have to stand up against violent actions. Peacebuilder Lisa Schirch speaks of this as "two-handed peacebuilding," where one hand is held up to "stop" the violence but the other is held out as an invitation to remain in relationship and humanize the other. Susanne Guenther Loewen was our speaker this week.…

5 weeks ago28:35

28:35

This season of Lent brings the series theme "Christ Collides." Apparently our encounters with the stories of Jesus are meant to leave us disturbed and disoriented, if not bruised and shaken. Ouch! Why would anyone sign up for that? Listen to "Collision Course" from Joe Heikman drawn from Luke 10:25-42.…

March 2, 2025 // Living in the Light: Transfiguraiton 18:45

6 weeks ago18:45

18:45

In Luke 9, Jesus takes three of his friends up a mountain for a dazzling display of glory: the Transfiguration. In the midst of their ministry and on the journey towards Jerusalem, they're offered a glimpse of what is to come. How do these mountain top moments shape us as we walk through the messiness of this world? Are we open to transformation in the thin places where we meet God?…

38:13

This Sunday’s service featured a “coffee shop conversation” between Lisi and Joe reflecting on Luke 6:27-38, the second part of Jesus’ Sermon on the Plain. "Love your enemies...turn the other cheek... be merciful as God is merciful...etc." Does Jesus really mean for us to do all of that stuff? How can we possibly live up to those ideals? Join the conversation!…

February 9, 2025 // Living in the Light: Worthy of following the life of Jesus 8:28

9 weeks ago8:28

8:28

How do we respond to those who feel unworthy? How do we work at reframing the messages that have us believe we are not enough? How do we, like Jesus, call each other forward into hope, healing and worthiness? We were pleased to have our own Heather Peters (MCC SK Peacebuilding Coordinator) provide our 5-Minute Focus on this Brunch Sunday. In closing Heather invited us to listen to and watch When God Imagined Me by Alana Levandoski and to pray for people who are experiencing feelings of unworthiness – whether through systems, cultural narratives or relationships.…

24:49

Luke 2 tells the story of Anna and Simeon, two elderly folks who interrupt baby Jesus' first trip to the Temple with their joyful proclamations. What is this simple story doing as the final story of Jesus' early days in Luke's gospel? Why do these old "prophets" matter and what could we learn from them about identity, hope and blessing?…

11 weeks ago24:49

24:49

In Luke 4, Jesus begins his public ministry with an "inaugural" sermon in his hometown of Nazareth. His message, coming straight from the prophet Isaiah, bears a challenging word for his first audience and for us. In these challenging times, we ask ourselves: can we live out the radical message of the gospel, and what are we willing to endure and give up?…

29:23

"You want a new world? Great. Get real still and let the old world die." The promise (or threat?) of a whole new world is in the air all around us these days--politically, economically, ecologically and personally. How do we navigate the bumpy waters of change--longed for or forced upon us--in ways that lead to health and growth? And what does this have to do with Jesus' baptism?…

Epiphany is the season after Christmas in which we celebrate the incarnation of the Divine, the revelation of God in the person of Jesus Christ. In Matthew 2:1-12, we follow the journey of the "Magi" from the east to Bethlehem, learning that God works in unexpected ways and gifts come in unexpected places.…
