The Story Church

Watch the news or browse the internet for long enough, and you’ll naturally wonder what hope remains for us. From political corruption and misinformation to violence and oppression, this world seems lost and broken beyond repair.

Our lives are filled with apparent contradictions. We often say illogical things like, “Less is more,” and “The only constant is change.” Literally speaking, such statements can’t be true, but deep down, we know they are right. And so it is with God sometimes. In the Old Testament, the prophet Isaiah found God in life’s paradoxes. He saw God as a garden flourishing in the desert, as a slave who is...
