The Kingdom is Near

Do you think the world is getting better or getting worse? Does your faith shape how you respond to that question? If the promise of Christian faith is neither the destruction of the world nor its natural improvement, what does our hope look like? 

Who Do You Say That I Am?

Understanding God's nature and character is one of the most important aspect of our formation as followers of Jesus.

The Wilderness of War

If all the paths of God's wisdom are peace, what happens when we stray off that path? Drawing from the wisdom of Cyprian (who served as Bishop of Carthage about two hundred years after Jesus' resurrection), we reflect on the wilderness of war. 

All Her Paths Are Peace

The Book of Proverbs personifies wisdom as a thoughtful, warm woman: "All her paths are peace." Angelina Atyam, a midwife in Northern Uganda, offers presents a powerful example of what a life looks like when we follow wisdom—and follow Jesus—in these paths of peace.

Jesus Feeds the 5,000

Christy and Peter reflect on their work in Central Africa and the ways that Jesus wants to use our small acts of faithfulness to accomplish incredible things.

Into Emmaus | Eastertide

In the aftermath of the resurrection, two disciples look Jesus right in his eyes—but fail to recognize him. If we're serious about faithfully following Jesus, maybe we need to confront the things that make it difficult for us to recognize him. 

Into New Life | Easter Sunday

Dietrich Bonhoeffer famously said that "When Christ calls someone, he bids them come and die." If Bonhoeffer is right, how can we claim that Christian faith is good news? Perhaps it's because Easter changes everything. 

Into Jerusalem | Palm Sunday

As Jesus enters into Jerusalem, is he acting as an authoritative king or a humble servant? Maybe the paradox of Palm Sunday is that as we follow Jesus, we see that he's both—at exactly the same time.
