Why is This Weird?

The theologian Christopher J.H. Wright said, “It is not so much the case that God has a mission for his church in the world, as that God has a church for his mission in the world. Mission was not made for the church; the church was made for mission – God’s mission.” Let’s talk about it…

For Such a Time

I recently started watching a YouTube video series from an atheist. Not because I’m looking for insight, but because I’m curious about his perspective on Christianity. Let’s talk about it…

Before and After

You know, when someone mentions a year or a time period and you mentally start to calculate where you were and what you were doing in that season of your life? Marked moments of time when we realize that who we were before is different than who we are after. Let’s talk about it…
