We avoid pain and grief as much as possible. When faced with someone else’s grief, we avoid or offer platitudes. But the book of Lamentations invites us to sit with grief, to enter into the prophetic process of Lament. In this series, we’ll explore how to grieve and how to be a friend to the grieving.
Ultimately, we’ll see how the process of lament invites us to be agents of healing in the larger world.

Warts & All
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.
