We come to the Book of Job – with Job’s big questions – and ours – and we don’t find a neat and tidy answer.

In our suffering, God speaks with us out of the whirlwind, and we live, and we somehow find…

We are sent now to testify to that truth, that Word embodied…

In a world that would tear them apart, Jonathan and David choose a better way.

In a world tha…

Pentecost is a tale of wind and flame that becomes flesh and bone before our very eyes and ears – one that we can touch and taste and experience in our very bodies.
