Hello friends!

The world today is troubled. People of faith in America are divided squarely across partisan lines and somehow, it seems, the medium has overtaken the message.

Now more than ever before, we are feeling a call to be still and know God with our whole hearts. To quiet our racing minds. To meet Jesus at the well and be filled with living water.

No matter which side of the political debates we may find ourselves on in these uncertain times, the Biblical principles of truth, justice, mercy and unconditional love remain steadfast and time-tested levers of unity and hope for a troubled world.

Will you join this uncommon collective in seeking the Lord wholeheartedly and answer God’s call to become a people after God’s own heart?

This is a safe space to explore and to challenge and to encounter God’s love from a fresh lens for the times. We are delighted to come alongside you as fellow seekers. 

with love,

three strands

*God wants to know us personally

God created us in His image. The fact that we have hearts that love and feel and hurt comes from God himself. We’re made with hearts that are wired to love. Wired for relationship. Friends, God is a God of relationship. He really wants to know each and every one of us, personally. Which may seem like a stretch. But will you imagine for a moment that, if it’s possible for God to know the genetic sequencing of every living being on earth, and if it’s possible that God himself created the planets and orbits and math and wisdom, then it’s also possible for him to know us individually. And to care about each one of us equally.
The Word confirms over and over that God has good things in mind for us, a unique purpose he created for each one of us that only we can fulfill. We hope that you’ll encounter a new way of seeing God through this blog. One that challenges conventional wisdom and one that testifies to a personal God of relationship who is with us in every detail of our lives and teaches us something new in every circumstance.

How to know God more intimately

We are made to know God intimately, yet it can sometimes feel scary to approach God’s presence. Here we look at love and forgiveness through the lens of the audacious love of a sinful woman and we look to Song of Solomon as a model for intimate prayer.

The six truths + radical surrender

While we may have had to endure grief and trials of many kinds, we can be assured that God will never leave us or forsake us and that he has good plans in store. Through radical surrender to his will, we can reach a place of peace in the midst of future unknowns.

Choose the good portion

Peace is not just a fleeting feeling: For all of us called to abundant life in Christ, it is a way of living that defies discouragement in even impossible circumstances. Jesus invites us to choose the good portion and to sit at his feet in peace.

We’re a collective on mission to help everyone to hear God’s still, soft whisper to our spirits and to grow in our relationships with the triune God. Join us!
