Right now, in a lot of ways when it comes to our climate, we are the lost sheep. We are the sheep needing to be found, needing protection.

Resurrection, Jesus says, is simply showing up in an embodied way when you say you will.

"Community" is an action verb—something that takes practice…

Faith isn’t about understanding. Faith is about trusting in a God of love, a God of mystery, a God of resurrection.

The grace that God offers through Jesus’ resurrection is hollow without acknowledging that there is suffering to be redeemed.

Anyone who holds on to life just as it is destroys that life. But if you let it go, reckless in your love, you’ll have it forever.

Can I be forgiven for my sins? Will I find the gates of heaven opened to me? Do these questions sound familiar to you?

What would Jesus think of how our capital-C church is set up? Would he turn tables and wield a whip because of these vast injustices?

In a sinful world, living the values Jesus taught us, living with integrity, often leads to suffering.

Lent not about intentionally suffering. It’s not about depriving yourself for the sake of Jesus. It’s about noticing.

As we grapple with the mysteries of faith, let us embrace the humility that comes from acknowledging the limits of our comprehension.

It is in the space between facts, between what we can prove, where hope lives. It is in what we don’t quite know.

Faith is not about what you know, it’s about how you love.

Here then are three things that have helped me to get started on the journey of really knowing others and being known by them.

Jesus taught us that where there is sickness, sin, or conflict, there is the potential for relationship, for creation, for love.

Everything was made at God’s command. He spoke and it happened.

Through Jesus, God understands the experience of our vulnerability, our fears, our hopes. Not only God with us, but God becoming us.

It seems to me that our God is a God of misfit toys. Choosing an unwed teenage girl to be the mother of Jesus.

We must continue to prepare the way of the Lord, knowing we receive forgiveness even before we ask, we are fully and completely loved.

Keeping awake is anticipating and looking for God, even when life is darkest. Staying on the lookout for the seed of hope buried within.
