Does a Jesus centered life mean that wives should submit to their husbands? The answer is surprisingly political, subversive, and down right punk.

After a weekend of chaos, we are reminded of our great hope. The Spirit of the living God is here, even in the darkness renewing all things.

Jesus' resurrection does not magically whisk us away to a better place, nor does it magically transform this world. Jesus' invitation into His radically different story might just mean this is the worst timeline.

How does Jesus resurrect our ideas of what it means to be human? It starts and ends with love.

A Jesus centered life is far more than morality. Jesus invites us to join in His redemptive work in the ways we physically and bodily show up in the world. And this makes all the difference

The Antidote to Shame | Ephesians 2:4-7

Many of us have come to understand that we need to be saved from God's wrath. But Ephesians tells a starkly different story, one that will deeply transform our sense of self if we will let it be our story.

Is God in Control? | Ephesians 2:1-3

Ephesians lays out a dynamic picture of a cosmos in need of God’s re-ordering. This complicates overly simplistic clichés about what Jesus is up to among us. And leaves us with a much richer story to make sense of our lives.
