The Seeds Were Good The Soil Was Sick

Send us a text We have named the harm. We have pulled the old house down. Now what? This week, Pastor Dan invites us to do something daring: not just vent about what broke us, but remember what blessed us. Prayer that felt human; worship that felt alive; communion that felt like belonging; community that felt like family. Maybe the problem was not the seed; maybe the problem was the soil. What if we replant the best of our evangelical past in better soil: love instead of fear, inclusion inste...

Faith ≠ Fairy Tale: Feed the Crowd

Send us a text Tired of the Disney version of Jesus? Same. This message rips the glitter off the Feeding of the 5,000 and asks a dangerous question: what if the miracle wasn’t supernatural bread popping out of thin air but people finally stopping the hoard and sharing what they had? Pastor Dan pushes us from miracle watching to community building. Scarcity isolates. Fear blames. But faith sets a table. Maybe the sign wasn’t bread multiplying. It was hearts multiplying. If you’re done waiting ...

Anybody But Jesus

Send us a text Pastor Dan calls out a Christianity that looks more like empire than the Gospel. It’s raw, uncomfortable, and exactly what we need to hear. If your version of Jesus blesses your politics, your comfort, and your outrage—but never asks you to love your enemies—you’re following anybody but Jesus. From the pulpit of Harvest Sarasota, this message dismantles the idols of power, nationalism, and comfort that have hijacked the name of Christ. It’s not left or right—it’s the radical, i...

The Lord’s Prayer, Uncensored: Part 1

Send us a text What happens when the most familiar prayer in Christianity gets flipped on its head? Pastor Dan Minor takes Harvest Sarasota into a raw, communal breakdown of the Lord’s Prayer—line by line, through a radical lens that challenges nationalism, patriarchy, elitism, and exclusion. This isn’t the “safe” Sunday School version. This is prayer as uprising. This is dismantling “my Father” to embrace “our Father,” even if it includes the refugee, the addict, the outcast, and the enemy. ...

The Lord's Prayer, Uncensored: Part 2

Send us a text What if “on earth as it is in heaven” isn’t a wish, it’s a mandate? In Part 2, Pastor Dan Minor pushes the Lord’s Prayer from kingdom longing to kingdom living. Daily bread becomes a direct challenge to scarcity and hoarding. Forgiveness moves from private piety to public liberation, canceling moral shame and calling out predatory systems. And “deliver us from evil” names the evil for what it is: dehumanizing ideologies and unjust structures that keep us divided and afraid. Thi...

No Scarcity in God: Compassion, Joy, Inclusion

Send us a text Last week we asked if we’ve misdiagnosed the human soul. This week we get practical. Pastor Dan unpacks how inherent union with God reshapes everyday life—moving us from defensiveness, scarcity, and exclusion to compassion, joy, and radical inclusion. If shame isolates and estranges, union restores dignity and brings us home to who we’ve always been. From Jesus standing with the marginalized to how we parent, argue, forgive, and show up for our city, this message shows what hap...

Stan Mitchell: "The Biggest Misdiagnosis in Church History"

Send us a text What if the deepest wound in the human soul isn’t sin—but shame? In this stirring message, we dive into one of the most radical shifts in Christian thought in two thousand years: moving from a doctrine of inherent separation from God to a vision of inherent union with God. With raw honesty, the sermon wrestles with the Garden story, the cross, and the very heart of the gospel. What if salvation is not about clawing our way back to a God who left us, but awakening to the truth t...

Queer and Christian: A Conversation with Brandan Robertson

Send us a text What happens when we stop begging for a seat at the table—and build our own instead? In this provocative and hope-filled conversation, Pastor Dan sits down with Brandan Robertson—pastor, activist, and author of Queer and Christian—to talk about what it means to move beyond fear-based religion into a faith rooted in love, liberation, and authenticity. From unpacking the infamous “clobber passages” to challenging the ways institutions weaponize scripture, Brandan invites us to im...

When Faith Isn’t Black and White

Send us a text What if uncertainty wasn’t a weakness in your faith but the very thing that makes it real? In this powerful episode, Pastor Dan invites us into a raw and honest conversation about growing up in rigid religious systems, the suffocating demand for certainty, and the guilt that comes when life doesn’t fit into neat boxes of right and wrong. Through humor, storytelling, and hard truths, we confront how fear of being “wrong” has divided families, harmed communities, and pushed many ...

The Fast God Chose: When Religion Replaces Justice

Send us a text The Fast God Actually Chose We’ve been told fasting means giving up food for a set time to get closer to God. But in Isaiah 58, God says something very different—and far more disruptive. In this message, Pastor Dan reframes “fasting” as a radical commitment to justice, compassion, and action. This isn’t about religious rituals or empty traditions. It’s about breaking the chains of injustice, feeding the hungry, sheltering the unhoused, and refusing to stay silent when the vulne...

If You Don’t Want Healthcare for Underserved Communities, Stop Quoting Jesus

Send us a text Jesus Never Said “Good Luck With That, Poor People” What if revival looks like prenatal care and insulin access? What if the most miraculous thing we can do… is build a healthcare system that heals everyone? In this fire-filled sermon, Pastor Dan dismantles the narrow, harmful theology that’s told generations of Christians that real healing only happens with oil and hands-on prayer—and instead paints a stunning vision of what “greater things” might actually mean. Spoiler: It’s ...

What If War Is All We Know?: God Isn’t in the Empire

Send us a text Will freedom feel like treason because war is all we know? What if the real treason is staying silent? In this bold, gut-honest sermon, Pastor Dan breaks open the toxic war narrative embedded in American evangelicalism—and calls it what it is: spiritual manipulation designed to control, divide, and dominate. 🔥 From pastors threatening kids who wear nail polish 🔥 To churches applauding violence from the pulpit 🔥 To ICE raids that go unchallenged by "Christian" leaders This messa...

False Prophets, Christian Nationalism, and the Lie of the Narrow Way

Send us a text This week on Harvest Sarasota, Pastor Dan flips the script on one of Christianity’s most misused scriptures — the "narrow gate" in Matthew 7. From debunking hellfire guilt-trips to calling out modern-day Pharisees, this message challenges religious traditions that exclude, divide, and destroy. Discover why the true narrow way leads to justice, inclusion, and sacrificial love — and how weaponized religion may be the real path to destruction. If you’ve ever felt pushed out of chu...

Colby Martin: Are You at the Right Party?

Send us a text In this special Pride Month message at Harvest Sarasota, Colby Martin, author of Unclobber, invites listeners to reflect on what it means to belong at "the right kind of party." Through a blend of humor, personal insights, and profound biblical storytelling, Colby explores how diversity isn't just a preference—it’s a divine imperative. Sharing four powerful stories from scripture, Colby makes the case that the presence of diversity—in identities, backgrounds, and life experienc...

We Will Overcome: Stories of Faith, Hurt, and Radical Belonging

Send us a text What happens when the Church stops listening? In this raw, unfiltered episode, LGBTQ+ voices and allies share their personal stories of pain, exclusion, and ultimately, healing from religious spaces that promised love but delivered something else. Recorded during Pride and Juneteenth, this gathering becomes sacred ground as individuals—young and old, queer and disabled, once-pastors and once-rejects—stand up to say: We’re still here. We still believe. And we will overcome. Dan ...

The First Queer Convert: What the Church Never Told You

Send us a text This one will shake the pews. Pastor Dan dives headfirst into a story the church has tiptoed around for centuries—the radical inclusion of the first queer convert in scripture. What does Isaiah really say about eunuchs? And why did we skip Acts 8:37 in most modern Bibles? This isn't just about theology—it’s about justice, Pride, and reclaiming a gospel big enough for everyone. Whether you’ve ever felt on the outside looking in, or you're ready to challenge everything you’...

Get ready for a raw conversation that fuses science, psychology, scripture, and sacred truth to expose how we’ve traded authentic connection for comfortable control. ✨ Ever felt "loved" in a way that left you ashamed, anxious...

The Daughters of Z Are Right: Reclaiming the Divine Feminine

Send us a text What if everything you were taught about the nature of God was only half the story? In this bold, challenging, and deeply restorative Mother’s Day message, Pastor Dan Minor flips the script on centuries of patriarchal theology. Drawing from Numbers 27 and the courageous protest of the daughters of Zelophehad, he reexamines how the Bible — and the church — have historically erased the feminine from the divine. From the silenced wisdom of women to the gendered erasure of terms li...

The Gospel According to the Excluded: Pastor Stan Mitchell

Send us a text In this soul-shaking, unapologetic episode of the Harvest Sarasota Podcast, Pastor Stan Mitchell delivers a raw and redemptive message that strips away the polite pretenses of church tradition and dives deep into the radical inclusivity of the Gospel. With the storytelling brilliance of a weathered preacher and the urgency of a prophet, Mitchell walks us through John 9—not as a theological text, but as a living, breathing cry for justice, belonging, and visibility. Mitchell doe...
