As I reflect back on 2020, I’m reminded of what God is doing and did. He sent fear, disruption, death, and trauma to everyone in the world. It came because of how uncontrollable life really is. A simple virus exposed how weak and vulnerable our bodies, souls, governments, communities, and families are. Are we healing…

Desire is complex. It holds the beauty of God and points us to him. It is also effected by the harm, abuse, shame, and sin of a broken and fallen world. To navigate desire, we need a wise and caring community to listen to our stories of beauty and brokenness. We also need the transforming…
