As the church moves closer to major expansion, Dez reminds the congregation that community is not passive\u2026 it is built through action, care, and shared responsibility. This sermon continues the teaching series on the Seven Psyches, the personality traits that allow a community to flourish across time\u2026 from the first pack to the future. Bondsmith Rich speaks on the Steward, the one who tends to the rhythms, needs, and wellness of the community. Drawing from examples like Adam, medieval stewards, flight attendants, and Mr. Rogers, Rich reflects on care as an active responsibility. Then the community breaks into discussions on the Alchemist. Thaumaturgist Julian explores the Alchemist through DMT, describing integration, intention, and the work of turning overwhelming insight into healing wisdom. Padre speaks on the Alchemist through cannabis, showing how simple plant medicine, when prepared and shared with care, can become connection, relief, and sacred experience. Together, this sermon asks: How do we care for the community, and how do we help transform what people carry into something that can heal?
