Join us for week 4 of our "Tell Me Strange Things" series, where we tackle the hardest sayings of the Bible. Stick around after the service for coffee and friendship. See you there!

WHAT WE'RE READING, LISTENING TO, AND WATCHINGEdifying content that has deeply informed our work this season - How Liberals Talk About Children The New Yorker critiques certain left-leaning progressives' views on children in a review by Jay Caspian Kang of Anastasia Berg and Rachel Wiseman's book, "What Are Children For?"— it's a great read that encourages reflection no matter your political stance. (also linking a helpful review at CT) - Our New Religion Isn't Enough This article explores how modern secular beliefs might fall short of the depth and fulfillment that traditional religious practices offer—definitely worth a read if you're curious about the role of spirituality in today's world! - The Justification of the Godforsaken by Jürgen Moltmann explores the complex issue of how to reconcile the suffering of victims with the forgiveness of sinners, proposing a justice system that prioritizes healing for victims rather than focusing only on perpetrators. - Performance-enhancing vices is a provocative article by Sabrina Little exploring how traits often seen as negative, like selfishness and pride, might help athletes perform better, but these "performance-enhancing vices" could negatively impact their moral character and personal relationships. - Making Sense of God by Tim Keller presents a compelling case for belief in Christianity, addressing the doubts and questions of skeptics by exploring how faith provides meaning, satisfaction, identity, justice, and hope. Definitely check it out! |
