Called to be a people after God's own heart

Deeper in prayer. Deeper in study. Radical love. Radical action.

*You belong here

Hello friends!

People of faith in America are divided squarely across partisan lines; the medium has overtaken the message; and somehow political affiliations have become lines of exclusion and divisiveness in the name of religion.

There is yet hope: The Biblical principles of truth, justice, mercy and unconditional love remain steadfast and timeless levers of unity and hope for a troubled world.

This is a safe space to explore Biblical truth from within the broader context of spirituality and to encounter God’s love with a fresh lens for the times.

While we embrace a Biblical worldview, we also welcome and seek to integrate the myriad tools and resources the God of the Universe gives us, including those from outside the Christian faith background, such as Kabbalah, Christian mysticism, astrology, and wisdom from ancient and esoteric traditions. Here, may our common ground overshadow our differences.

We welcome anyone and all faiths. We are delighted to come alongside you as fellow seekers. You belong.

with love,

*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.

Ready for the wedding ceremony- the parable of the 10 virgins explained

The Parable of the Ten Virgins is one of the harder parables to get our heads around, yet the historical context of a Galilean wedding ceremony unveils the parable’s deeper meaning of preparing for marriage as the bride of Christ.

What the Bible has to say about mercy (part 2)

Above all works, Jesus cares about the posture of our hearts. The stories of the woman caught in adultery and the woman who sinned greatly and anointed Jesus’ head and feet with perfume show a God abundant in mercy and eager to forgive those with repentant hearts who truly love him.

Whatever you did to the least of these, you did also to me

How can Jesus say to his followers who do many mighty works in his name, “I never knew you; depart from me you workers of lawlessness”? Active love is our response to salvation, and it’s critical that our faith is not without works or without love.
