This Is Woman's Work with Nicole Kalil


We’ve turned intuition into a buzzword—flattened it into a slogan, a gut feeling, or a vague whisper we don’t always know how to hear. But what if intuition is so much more? What if it's one of the most powerful tools we have—and we’ve just forgotten how to use it? In this episode, I’m joined by Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir , Icelandic thought leader, filmmaker, and author of InnSæi: Icelandic Wisdom for Turbulent Times . Hrund has spent over 20 years studying and teaching the science and art of intuition through her TED Talk, Netflix documentary (InnSæi: The Power of Intuition), and global work on leadership, innovation, and inner knowing. Together, we explore what intuition really is (hint: not woo-woo), how to cultivate it in a culture obsessed with logic and overthinking, and why your ability to listen to yourself might be the most essential skill you can develop. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ Why we’ve misunderstood intuition—and how to reclaim it ✅ Practical ways to strengthen your intuitive muscle ✅ What Icelandic wisdom teaches us about inner knowing ✅ How to use intuition during uncertainty and decision-making ✅ Why trusting yourself is an act of rebellion (and power) Intuition isn’t magic—it’s a deep, internal guidance system that already exists inside you. The question is: are you listening?

"A New Commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, love one another." How can Jesus command love, something seemingly impossible to command? And what might it mean to love others as Jesus has loved us? To get at these questions, we look at the setting of Jesus giving this new commandment, namely, when he washes the disciple's feet. As we ponder this act of service, we discover not only the depth of challenge in Jesus words to love as he loved, but also the word of grace and promise contained in them. This is a screenshot of an artwork by Alida Bothma. You can view the Etsy site to purchase the print .…

Easter IV (May 11 2025) What is your “full name” — the thing that people say after your name that completes their description of you? For example, “That is Jane, she is a great teacher” or “That is Sam, he is an amazing basketball player” Today we learn the full name of an early believer in the book of Acts (9:36-43): Tabitha, aka Dorcas, “was always doing good and helping the poor…” What a beautiful full name! Pastor Rob offers a word of challenge today: In your quest to make a good full name for yourself, have you focused on the right things? It is very tempting to focus on the “resume” virtues instead of the “obituary” virtues! There is also a profound word of grace today in today’s reading, a reminder that ultimately, God has the last word on our name and not our mistakes, failures or bad things that have happened to us. Note: I do not have permission (yet) to post this artwork by a Christian artist named Sarah Beth, but I found it so beautiful! You can purchase the art here .…
Easter III (May 4, 2025) The story seems like comfortable at first: The disciples go fishing, they eat breakfast with Jesus and then Peter tells Jesus he loves him. (John 21:1-17) But once you start digging, you realize this is a story about the power of shame. Peter is ashamed of his denial of Jesus and this manifests itself in all sorts of typical shame behavior Avoiding Covering Up Focusing on self and past mistakes How then can Peter move forward? How can we move forward in our shame? It turns out that nice guy Jesus isn’t going to cut it. Instead, we need the son of the living God to redeem us from sin and shame. The painting is by Tissot. It is on display at the Brooklyn Museum of Art…

Easter 2025 Easter is a time of memories, including memories of our loved ones who have died. The first Easter, in fact, began with a trip the place of memories — the word for tomb in Greek is memory! A reflection on memories and how the resurrection changes everything, including how we understand our memories. The image comes from the Kid’s Corner Bible site .…

Good Friday 2025 Where you there? It is a more haunting question than it sounds. (Based on the passion of John, found in chapters 18-19 ). In the end, yes, yes, you and I were there.

Palm Sunday (April 13, 2025) What does it mean to have power? The Roman Empire displayed a type of power we know: The ability to get what you want, when you want it. Their imperial parades were the example of power, as the leaders rode in on majestic horses. You could call this horse power. Jesus offered a different vision of power: The ability to help others. His parade, as he rode on donkey, showed what this power looks like. You could call this donkey power. Helping others through acts of love, humility and service. Definitely not as glorious in the eyes of the world. (I mean, really, look at the picture of the donkey. Not the most inviting!) A reflection on Horse power and Donkey power. Hint: Horse power isn’t all bad, but it finally takes the back seat. The donkey comes from a blogpost called “ Donkeys, Kings and Outcasts “…

Lent V (April 6, 2025) Who are people with whom you can share your joy and happiness? In our world of work, school, activities and even family, this kind of friendship and community is surprisingly rare. Too many relationships have competition, jealousy and shame for this to happen readily. As we wrap up the book of Ruth, we encounter a rejoicing Naomi. She is holding a grandson. Admittedly, it is not directly her grandson, but after the chaos, grief and loss of her life, she is rejoicing at this baby in her arms. She is also surrounded by the women of the village, who rejoice with her. A reflection on how the community of Jesus, the community of the cross and empty tomb, can provide this community of rejoicing for a hurting and lonely world. The artwork comes from Gospel Images, https://www.gospelimages.com/paintings/115/naomi-receives-a-grandson It was chosen because it emphasizes the whole community around Naomi and Ruth.…

Lent IV (March 30, 2025) We know well the look of the older brother in the painting. His whole body shouts: “It’s not fair!” He is not wrong. As the parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-35) plays itself out, the story is unfair. Which justifiably angers the older brother. As humans, we all protest when we don’t think things are fair. In order to make life together work, we need their to be fairness. Yet… It turns out in life that we encounter situations in which we need more than fairness. Sometimes the wounds and situations call for compassion, an unfair extension of mercy, an intentional bending of the rules to help someone. A reflection on when life together needs compassion and where to go for the at compassion. The painting is by Rembrandt, The Return of the Prodigal.…

Lent 3 (March 23, 2025) Life Together — our Lenten theme — sounds great, but what about the times we found ourselves as an outsider? Pastor Rob reflects outsider-insider dynamics by looking at the book of Ruth, as Ruth begins her new life in Bethlehem (Ruth 2:1-7). As we work with the story, we see that at certain points in our lives, we are like Ruth, an outsider; at other points, we are like Naomi, a bridge builder; at other points, we are like Boaz, the insider. As it turns out, each role can be a sacred role. Perhaps though this story isn’t just about our lives though, but also foreshadows the work of Christ, who becomes an outsider for us that we might become an insider with him. The image comes from a leadership website about insider/outsider dynamics .…

Lent 2 (March 16, 2025) Naomi, Ruth and Orpah are three women who are grieving (Ruth 1). The deaths they have encountered force them to make tough decisions that include both separation but also deeper connection. When we experience loss, through death, break-ups or illness, it often impacts our relationships. Some come to an end; others are new or renewed in a profound way. We find that even in the face of death and loss, God is still the God of easter and resurrection, who gives us life together. This painting is likely actually a poster by Veronica McDonald. You can find it here .…

Lent 1 (March 9, 2025) Two truths and a lie – a game we’ve probably all played. Today, the devil plays a far higher stakes version of the game, sowing a lie amidst the truth as he tempts Jesus. This Lent we are focusing on Life Together; there is nothing more toxic to life together than lies. And while lying has always been part of the human story (the prince of lies is always at work!), our modern world’s technology makes it so hard for us to figure out how to distinguish between truth and lies. A reflection on what it means to build a community of truth.…

Eat Less Fear; Behold More Glory We eat a LOT of fear in daily lives. This works disease in our souls, blinding us to God’s glory and blocking us from living as disciples. In the Transfiguration of Jesus (Luke 9:28-38), we learn another path of dealing with fear and beholding the glory of God: Going to the mountain, praying and listening to Jesus. What might it mean to go to the mountain? One example: Watching children at the church’s early learning center fascinated by a visiting dog. A reflection on how to eat less fear and behold more glory; wrapping up with the promises of Jesus, who listens to us, prays for us and gives us his glory.…

February 23, 2025 “Love your enemies… Turn the other cheek.” (Luke 6) Does Jesus know how the world works? Turns out that Jesus knows very well how the world works: He knows our world needs mercy. In fact, he invites us into the heavenly family business of mercy. A reflection on the possibility and even necessity of loving our enemy.…

February 9, 2025 Jesus calls Peter and his fellow fishermen to push out their boat a little and then cast their nets into the deep. In the same way, Jesus calls us. Sometimes this call is for something small; other times for something that seems riskier and harder. Peter laments this call of Jesus, saying that he is worn and the fish aren’t moving. Peter doesn’t believe this his actions will make a difference. In our lives and in our world today, we can also often feel like our actions will not make an impact. But we are not called to figure it all out. Instead, we are called to obey our call and let go of the results. This as it turns out…is also a challenge, not just for us, but for Jesus to take on.…
February 2, 2025 Love is patient and love is kind. Yet the people want to throw Jesus off a cliff (Luke 4:18-30)! Where is the love? Pastor Rob offers that the people in Jesus’ hometown do have love, it is just misguided and blinding. We struggle with this today as well as our love can be misguided and blinding. Our love of one person or one group can block our loving another person or another group. As humans, we have a strong inclination to love “us” and not “them.” A reflection on Jesus’ patience and kindness toward our misguided love that finally breaks down the “us” and “them.”…

3 Epiphany (Sunday, January 26, 2025) Today we hear Jesus’ inauguration speech as he gives his first sermon (Luke 4:11-21). In this sermon, Jesus lays out the fundamental direction of his ministry: Uplifting the poor By…opening the eyes and hearts of the rich to share what they have so that… all may live in a “body” that loves God and loves neighbor It turns out this message was fundamentally different than the way the world worked 2,000 years ago. The message continues to be different from how our world works today. Then, and today, the culture’s moral foundation was a trinity of the self: self-expression, self-achievement and self-pleasure. Which brings us the image for the sermon – bubbles of potential college majors. Pastor Rob invites us to a different way to talk to young people about their futures, one that would be less pagan and more focused on Christ’s teachings.…
January 19, 2025 Today St. Paul celebrates the confirmation of five adults. (Confirmation is a public affirmation by a teen or adult of their baptism, which typically happened at a younger age). The story of Jesus turning water into wine at Cana (John 2:1-11) provides a framework for thinking through: What then are we confirming? We are confirming that God is a God who turns water into wine. We are confirming that we are not gods who can turn water into wine, but we can fill the cup to the brim, trusting that God in Jesus Christ will make water into wine, for God’s glory.…

January 12, 2025 ( Baptism of Jesus) Today we have a special event at St. Paul — the Baptism of five youth/older children. It gives us an opportunity to reflect on the question — what do we want to pass along to the next generation about faith? What is most important to know about our Baptisms and our life as a disciple of Jesus? Pastor Rob offers three things You are loved Others are loved too …well, you will have to listen to find out 🙂…

Christmas Eve 2024 How do you measure time? Luke's Gospel offers us a number of ways By who is in power By months of pregnancy By grass growth in the fields By beginning relationships and births within families These are all familiar in our lives. So far, so good. But the angels point toward another reality though, that somehow Jesus life is beyond time; that all of time hinges around him. What does this mean that the eternal entered into a human timeline? How does this change how we measure time in our lives? This image comes from a blog page -- where it is not cited, but seems like it originally is a creation of Olga Ptashko .…

Advent 4 (Dec 22, 2024) In countless Christmas movies, the plot remains the same: Something has jeopardized Christmas. If the characters don’t get their acts together and love, cheer, sing and believe enough, Christmas might just not happen — the sleigh might not have enough Christmas Spirit to run!! All too often, we function like the people in the movies, believing that Christmas depends on us. This just rachets up the stress. As an antidote for our Christmas stress, Pastor Rob offers us the promises given to John the Baptist. Christmas isn’t about you Christmas is for you…

Advent 3, 2024 There are no “small” roles! When Elizabeth discovers that Mary is pregnant with Jesus, Elizabeth does something amazing (Luke 1:39-55). Instead of feeling threatened that her own pregnancy would be overshadowed, she rejoices and magnifies Mary’s joy. What allows Elizabeth to do the almost divine thing here, to celebrate, free of jealousy, for another’s humans success? Perhaps it is her conviction that she had a part to play in God’s unfolding drama in Jesus Christ. Elizabeth knows in this story, every role, every person matters. This allows her to rejoice in her own role and rejoice to discover how God works in the lives of others. That said, in Elizabeth’s life, there were many times when she wasn’t sure what her role actually entailed. In our lives too, we don’t always know. Instead, we must live by the promise, that we matter to God and that God’s mercy is from generation to generation. For the stuff that Mary sings about — the world turning upside down — doesn’t happen overnight and requires our faithful actions over the generations.…

Advent 2 (Dec 8, 2024) Pastor Rob begins his sermon by admitting that he has an obsession with correctly loading the dishes. It turns out for that task — and for many others — we need information. Mary is given the world’s biggest task, namely, bear the son of God in her womb. Yet, God gives her an incredibly little amount of information. Why is this? Pastor Rob reflects on the call of Mary as well as our own callings in life and reminds us that ultimately, if we follow the call of God, we will discover the cross. If we knew all about the crosses we would face in life, we might never get out of bed, much less say yes to God’s call to love and serve our neighbor! Instead of information, Mary is given two things. First, a friend who is wise. Second, the promise that “Nothing will be impossible with God.” These two things God also gives to us. And with them, we can say, like Mary: “Lord, Here I am. Let it be with me according to your Word!”…

Advent 1 (December 1, 2024) Did you know that Barbie was launched on March 9, 1959? It turns out that the makers of the Barbie movie made the odometer of the car read “030959” in homage to this date. This is one of many “Easter Eggs” in the film; many films have “Easter Eggs”, references to other films or historical events. You likely miss them the first time, but when you replay the movie, they bring a smile and recognition that the director is good and creative. In life, God drops lots of Easter Eggs for us — small things that point us to the fact that life’s “director” is faithful, creative, if not even humorous. Yet, we miss them! And even when we see them, we often struggle to believe that they are revelations of God’s goodness in our lives. In the story of Zechariah meeting the angel Gabriel in the temple (Luke 1:8-20), Zechariah struggles to believe. Zechariah’s struggles of faith are like ours, as life grinds us down, closing off our heart to God’s work in our lives. Pastor Rob reminds us that the solution of the angel for Zechariah’s unbelief is silence. Likewise, the medicine for our inability to see the “Easter Eggs” is silence. This Advent, these weeks leading up to Christmas, we too are invited into silence, to contemplate the Easter Eggs both in Scripture but also our lives. For God, in Jesus Christ, has promised to be faithful to us, even when we struggle to believe.…

Christ the King Sunday (Nov 24, 2024) The trial scene of Jesus before Pilate has two witnesses, one testifying to the power of love (Jesus); one testifying to the love of power (Pilate). After reflecting on how we see these two worldviews colliding throughout history, both in secular society but also in the church, Pastor Rob brings it back to our lives. What does your life bear witness to: The power of love or the love of power? This testimony is first borne out in our lives. This testimony is also borne out at the communion rail, where we acknowledge both our tendency to give into the love of power, but also confess our ultimate hope in the power of love, who is Jesus. The image of from James Tissot’s work: Jesus Before Pilate, Second Interview (Jésus devant Pilate. Deuxième entretien) , 1886-1894…
