The scariest monsters are those that come from within!

Fear & Desire

As we continue to discern our spiritual gifts, we must recognize that it flows out of our loves. Spiritual gifts are not a way for us to elevate ourselves, but to engage the world. As we learn to the love the world more, God will reveal the gives in us, and the calling that will bring us life, and the world hope.

From Series: "Fear & Desire"

Discovering our calling is a matter of discerning what we love. Contrary to popular belief, we can trust the desires of our hearts as guides to how God is inviting us to change the world. Everyone has a calling. Everyone matters to our future. We find our calling at the intersection of our loves and the needs of our world.

This is the season of the year when people start to think about monsters – ghosts and goblins and things that go bump in the night. We normally don’t think of monsters having anything to do with the Church, but we’d be wrong. The reason people tell monster stories is that monsters are a safe way to talk about things we’re not ready to admit about ourselves. We don’t want to see ourselves as selfish, unforgiving, ill-tempered. So we tell stories. We create monsters.
