We all have questions for God. But what about the questions God has for us? For example, in Genesis 3, God asks, "Where are you?" and  "What have you done?" Let us sit with God in the searching questions. As we journey through Lent, let us make space for the Holy Spirit to lead us into deeper places of formation as we sit with these questions together.

God is a self-giving God. This is the beauty and the scandal of our God. God who gives of himself. God who pours himself out for us.  And from the heart of God flows hospitality and generosity. We learn how to love and how to live by following in the way of our Lord. As Justin Whitmel Earley writes the , “generous openness of the Trinity,” is what we are called to emulate. May we be a people marke...

What are we waiting for? The story of Jesus’s birth is really a very ordinary, earthy story.  Jesus didn’t materialize out of thin air or fall like a comet from the sky. Nothing flashy or eye-catching.  Something quite silent and hidden. He was carried to term, given birth, nursed and nurtured by a human mother — just like each one of us. The astonishing claim is that this is the way God chose to...

Why is it so hard to make friends as adults anyway? Connection.  Companionship.  Friendship.  We all desire it.  And we all feel the struggle around it. How do we connect with neighbors, coworkers, and others, cultivating authentic relationships with those around us everyday?  How can we cultivate a true sense of belonging, especially in a city as transitory as Denver?  Can our friendships become...

The world ought to make sense. Right?! Some things just seem to matter.  To everyone.  Things like beauty.  Or community.  Or justice. We long for these things.  We crave them.  We have this intuition that they’re important and good and right.  Yet all too often they seem to lay beyond our reach. What do we make of this?  Is it all a cruel joke?  Mere fantasy?  Or are these things actually signs —...
