Good things for the hungry. 

The Heavenly Banquet is an online progressive Christian ministry featuring sermon, educational, and devotional podcasts hosted by Charlotte Elia and Chad Rhodes. We believe in the all-inclusive, ever-expansive power of God’s love, and we seek to serve those without local access to affirming, justice-centered Christian communities.

We strive to be Gospel-oriented, historically grounded, and theologically rigorous. God is love, and love is serious business. Still, we avoid dogma in favor of a generous orthodoxy encompassing thousands of years of Christian thought and practice. A rigid faith breaks under stress, and we hope to offer spiritual tools to help you make sense of and navigate the world.

Welcome to The Heavenly Banquet where the hungry are filled with good things and the rich are sent away empty.
