We’re convinced that spirituality is all about putting on the perfect front. But when we fake perfection, we cover up the good news of Jesus’ new life. We rob the world of seeing that Jesus transforms us from death to life, from imperfection to health and wholeness. The good news isn’t perfection. It’s transformation!
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.
