The Church is not a subculture or a building or a movement, but the making of a new humanity. Therefore, we must take core human questions seriously: What story am I in? Who am I? With whom do I belong? How do I change? Where do I make my life? What is my purpose? How do I love? These deep human questions have Biblical answers, but as embodied creatures, we need more than intellectual beliefs, we...

Any student of Scripture - whether a scholar, minister, or layperson - is like a craftsman with his or her tools. Have you ever walked into the workshop of a craftsman (an artist, carpenter, mechanic, or musician) and wondered, "what do all these tools or instruments do"? In this workshop, we will practice how to read Scripture with "tools" that engage the head, heart, and hands. We will engage hi...

Quit something. Create margin. Be challenged toward unselfishness. Make space to care for others well. Say yes or no intentionally instead of out of guilt or exhaustion. Practice attentiveness. Does any of that tug at your heart? In this workshop we'll dig into the Biblical roots and calling of the discipline of restraint. More than just saying "no"; restraint is a counter-cultural and holistic di...

When I was a youth pastor, I once watched a student throw all his “secular” music into a river. I remember feeling conflicted about it. Did following Jesus really mean the replacement of everything he had previously loved? Is that how Christians are meant to relate to culture? This session offers an alternative, non-anxious approach to cultural engagement, one that is attentive to the hunger for m...

Our lives are mediated by technology—jobs, relationships, and spiritual lives can all be conducted via screen. And it's hard to imagine life any other way. Try as we might, few of us will be going back to the 19th century any time soon...nor might we want to. But for all its benefits, tech can easily take over; its promises of an easy life can take away our abilities to attend, consider, and love....

All people are created in God's image and no life is beyond God's reach. Through Jesus' trial, execution, and resurrection, we have all been offered hope and a new purpose for life. This amazing awakening of hope and life purpose allows those who once broke the law to be transformed, replacing the cycle of crime with a cycle of renewal. Prisoners often face many injustices before, during, and afte...
