In the age of the algorithm, who is really in the driver’s seat? We live in a world of infinite rerouting, digital noise, and the constant pressure of "Martha-style" hustle, but are we accidentally bypassing the only thing that actually matters? Father John dives into the tension between our busy schedules and our spiritual focus, challenging us to take off our blinders and choose the "better portion" that can never be taken away.

The Altar Church is a Spirit-filled, Missional, and Sacramental worship community in Anderson, SC, rooted in the Anglican tradition but designed for a restless generation.
