    Thrill of Hope | Wk 3

    A ‘thrill’ is essentially ‘enjoyably nervous excitement’—the kind we feel on rollercoasters or in suspenseful movies. But poets from our faith tradition often describe the feeling of Christmas as ‘The Thrill of Hope’. Every year, the December air is thick with it. Ancient songwriters and storytellers seemed to believe the birth of Jesus somehow stirs up a sense that things are going to get better in the hearts of those on the verge of giving up. This is especially profound when you realize who they claim first felt this thrill—people on the fringe: nameless shepherds, an invisible innkeeper, an unprepared father. And yet their roles in this story changed all of human history. What if God what did for them that first Christmas is something He longs to do in you this Christmas—to show you the significance of you role in His story & instill in you a hope every bit as thrilling as it is fulfilling?

    Dumpster Fire | Wk 4

    The world is on fire. Or at least it feels like it. Our news networks, social feeds, and email inboxes are full of evidence to confirm our suspicions that everything is falling apart. Nothing is as it should be, and it’s only getting worse. Everything we care about, believe in, and rely on is in danger. The end is near. But…if we could just get this person into office, or that policy into place, or this party into power—everything will be ok. Both sides promise they can save us, and their opponent will enslave us. How do we handle all this conflicting information and the overwhelming anxiety that comes with it? What are we supposed to do? Where is God in all this? And how can someone follow Jesus well when everything & everyone around them feels like it’s falling apart?

    Family Month 2024 | Wk 4

    Words are powerful. Years later, you can recall something someone said (to or about you) because of the way it elevated or devastated you. We don’t often think before we speak (and sometimes even less before we type, text or post). But our words have the potential to bless and curse, heal and hurt, bring life or even death. Words, to a large degree, determine destiny. And according to research, some have an even bigger impact than others. What if when your kindergarten teacher told you to, “Say the magic words!”, she was onto something significant? And if so, what words, if understood fully and incorporated regularly, might have the ability to reform our relationships with ourselves, each other, and the world at large?
