JUST CHURCH
<p><strong>About JustChurch</strong></p><p>JustChurch is a weekly, Saturday evening, downtown worshiping community in the Iowa City/Cedar Rapids corridor. JustChurch is “just” in two ways:</p><ul><li><br><ul><li>Just a worshipping community</li><li>Participates in acts of JUSTice that flow from worship</li></ul></li></ul><p>JustChurch is intentionally focused on worship steeped in ancient Christian tradition expressed in new, simple ways, without building ownership, standing committees, etc. JustChurch is a refuge to those who seek to express faith for good in a community of inclusion and who feel left out of current institutional religion. Since JustChurch wants money to do the most good it can do, it strives to be an 80/20 worshipping community (dedicating 80% of its income for maximal impact on justice while using 20% to cover intentionally low operating costs).</p> 2019-09-21 18:00:00 -0500

Sleep is not a waste of time; it is a reorganization of the brain.”</p><p>In the episode, Moorcroft also discusses the cause of recurring dreams and nightmares. </p> 2019-08-27 13:00:00 -0500

Lifetree Café - Stem Cells
<p>Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a casual, comfortable setting. </p><p>The program, titled “Stem Cells: The Miracle Cure You May Be Missing Out On,” includes a film featuring a regenerative stem cell procedure as well as an interview with Dr. Christopher Centeno, who performs orthopedic procedures using adult stem cells in both the U.S. and in an offshore clinic.</p><p>“Over the next 20 to 30 years, many drugs we use today will be replaced by stem cells from our own bodies, or cells mass-produced in labs,” says Centeno, who notes that the shift in medicine puts at risk much of the $300 billion prescription drug market.</p><p>Centeno, who uses stem cells as an alternative to joint replacement and to treat tendon, ligament, and bone pain, wonders if concerns about lost revenue have prompted the domestic ban of some procedures that are available in other countries. This program provides insights into the ongoing debate.</p> 2019-08-27 13:00:00 -0500
