Accepting the Love and Care We Give
Jesus does not want us to use our busyness and exhaustion as a badge of honor. Easter reminds us that he is the one who saves and in return asks us to love God and to love people. As we do that work, let us make sure that the love and care we give includes loving ourselves.
New things on the way!

What is God Calling Us to Do?
How do we faithfully answer God’s call when we don’t know how to hear it? This 7-step process may start your church on the road to discerning your unique mission.
Who wants to be conventional anyway?
I started praying and praying intentionally. I said to God, “I’ll do whatever you want me to do with whatever time I have left on earth. The answer I got was simple and clear… “Go do what you love and do it to help people who are going in a different direction in life and who need a second chance.” I’ve been a tattoo artist for 29 years and I truly love creating art to illustrate people’s stories in tattoos.
Let’s Pause Together
Whenever we meet someone new, invariably we find ourselves asking the question, “So, what kind of work do you do?” It’s a natural inquiry that expresses a curiosity about the other person, helps us establish rapport and usually gives us a place to start building a relationship. Yet, in a subtle but very real way, that question of what someone does reveals who we tend to be as a people and how we view ourselves and others.
Noticing Unforced Rhythms of Grace
Everywhere, the Spirit whispers: Let go. Grieve. Walk and work with me. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.
