Where once life moved from the outside in, it now grows from the inside out. In this spiritual turning, both purpose and disappointment reveal deeper meaning...and even mercy.

Control or Connection

In our most important relationships, we face a simple but profound choice: do we want control, or do we want connection?

True connection requires effort and vulnerability. It can be hard, even painful, to let go of control. But the rewards are deeper trust, greater love, and a closeness that can't be forced.

Let’s talk about what it really means to choose connection.

What "Jesus Christ" Really Means

The name "Jesus Christ" is more than just a way to refer to God. It's actually a signpost pointing to powerful truths about how we should live, the nature of life, and what it really means to call on the name of God.

    Lessons in Humility

    At the heart of the Easter narrative is a striking and tender moment: Jesus kneeling to wash his disciples’ feet—a task typically reserved for servants. And that was precisely the point. In this quiet act, he offered a profound lesson in humility—one not only to be admired, but to be lived.

    A Place for It All

    One of the most beautiful and moving aspects of the Easter story is how, through His journey of death, waiting, and resurrection, Jesus creates space for all of it—the sorrow, the uncertainty, and the hope. He faces the fullness of human pain with clear, humble acknowledgment. Yet even in that darkest night, there is a quiet anchoring in the promise: “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning” ...
