A critique often leveled against progressive/liberal Christians is that we don't hold a "high" view of the Bible. Stan makes the case here that, for many of us, it's quite the opposite.

This is week three of our "Gra...

So, we set aside this special evening for a handful of our Gracepointe family to share a portion of their stories, after which we gathered for a wonderful variety of homemade soups - and more stori...
