Portland Stories Podcasts- Impossible Brotherhood December 27, 2020Two retired men, one ex-policeman and one ex-defense attorney, should not be friends... they should not love each other... they certainly could not be "brothers" or... could they. This is a must-listen episode of personal transformation and the hope for a faith and community that could change the world. There is not a wasted minute, starring Larry […]
- Show Up! November 24, 2020The necessity of intentionality. How do we live authentically together? What does intentional community look like? How does it manifest... how does it manifest across human separations... separations as insidious as the one promoted as skin color? The Friday community of Portland, OR has been meeting for 28 years, attempting to transcend racial, class, ec […]
- Civility from the Margins November 4, 2020After two episodes about how men are stupid, the community turns our conversation to civility in the midst of these troubled times: election anxiety, violence in Portland's streets and continued racial inequity. Civil is an interesting word. It means polite (protests can seem so very rude.) It means "of and for citizens" (in-crowd versus out […]
- How Are Black Men Stupid October 23, 2020Following up on our last episode, "White Men Are Stupid," we convene a new panel to take public the sort of honest conversations our community has been sharing weekly for decades.

- White Men are Stupid October 13, 2020Today's discussion focuses on the stupidity of the white man. Join Larry Anderson, Greg Taylor, Doug Crane, Janus Sanders, Sebastian Rogers and Tony Kriz and their lively and confessional exchange. As always, this conversation is the byproduct of 30 years of weekly mutual submission as a cross-racial community.
- God's Diversity Agenda: Love the Other September 25, 2020Homogeneous community and culture is a destruction to God's intended order and incongruent with heaven's future reality. Being with, hearing, empathizing with and submitting to the other is essential to our training to love love the Great Other. Join these five men from Portland as they process their lives in mutual submission and empathetic love o […]
- Fire! and Faith: Love and Obedience in the Midst of Disaster September 11, 2020Oregon is on fire; almost a million acres are ablaze. On today's podcast, our decades-old community sends four representatives from diverse backgrounds to discuss the reality of a world that is screaming "wake from your slumber" and the Creator who is inviting all of us to come closer.
- Missing Richard Twiss February 11, 2020Richard Twiss (June 11, 1954- February 9th, 2013) Seven years ago, our brother Richard was taken from this earth into the arms of the Creator. I, Tony, for one miss him deeply. No week goes by without my thoughts turning to him. In this week's podcast, we chose to listen again to his testimony from the 2011 PBL Christmas Luncheon.
- Capital Buildings, Creatives and Croatia with Jim Eney January 29, 2020Today, Jim Eney joins Tony Kriz in a discussion of his long journey to know God within ministry and, sometimes, in spite of ministry. Jim is now a grandfather but he is still touching lives from DC to Hollywood.
