The Sacred Doesn’t Wait for Sunday

Michael Austin Miller

What if the presence of God was never meant to be confined to a building, a schedule, or a set of credentials?

What if sacredness shows up in casserole kitchens, car cries, dandelion gifts, and snack time with Jesus?

In this episode, Michael Austin Miller unpacks what it means to live a life awake to the Sacred—beyond stained glass and Sunday services. With storytelling, laughter, and holy honesty, he invites us to reclaim sacredness as something God already placed within us—no permission slip from the church required. This one’s for the wanderers, the bruised believers, the LGBTQ+ beloveds, and anyone who’s been told there wasn’t room at the table. If you’ve ever whispered a prayer in the grocery line or found holy ground in someone’s grief, this episode is for you.

Passage:

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer… All the believers were together and had everything in common.-Acts 2:42–47


Ask yourself: Who have I shared life with lately? Where have I offered or received care? Where have I seen the Sacred lately? What would it look like to build community with casseroles and conversation instead of perfection and performance?
