Paul says the only thing that matters is not our theology… it’s how we express it.

Paul writes that knowledge puffs up but that love builds up. How often do we feel puffed up by knowing more than someone or being ‘right’? Love might look a little different…

The first century writer, John, wants to make sure that we know that Jesus had a real body and that we need to use our real body to act like Jesus.

How do faith and works go together? Our history as Protestants set us on a path towards over emphasizing what we think/believe.

We thought there would be no way
We thought we would be forsaken
But in Christ Life walked

Some theology sounds a lot like poetry - and works the same way on us.

There’s a choice that God gives us: life or death. We get to participate with Jesus in the renewal of all things when we choose life.

Hope makes a way out of no way. So when Jesus comes and promises an indestructible life, we find hope to move in new ways.

We are not just called into a whole new life for ourselves… but to give it away to the world. This is one of the miracles of Easter

An introduction to finding a season of Reorientation

Today we sit with a new translation of Psalm 23, asking God to meet us in fresh ways.

Psalm 23 paints a picture of a feast - but it’s not for us alone.

The Psalms of Reorientation can really challenge our spiritual elasticity - inviting us to hold both Orientation and Disorientation at the same time.

Perhaps the paths of righteousness that God leads us in are not about being morally upright, but about being relationally connected.

The scriptures don’t paint a monolithic picture of who God is… so it can be helpful to reread some of our classic text in a different light in order to spark a fresh reconnection with God.

In a season of doubt and disorientation, it can be helpful to write down the bare minimum of what you still believe.
