Me and Mine and the Order of Love

In Christian thought, there is a concept called the ordo amoris—the order of loves. It’s a way of thinking about generosity, care, and kindness in relation to our responsibilities and obligations in the world. It is not, however, a way to excuse ourselves from caring for our neighbour.

Blessed Are the Meek: When the Call Isn't What We Wanted

What if Jesus’ beatitudes aren’t telling us how to earn God’s favor—but who already has God’s attention?

Our Father: A Prayer That Connects Us All

What if the most radical thing about the Lord’s Prayer… is the very first word? Let's explore how Jesus reshapes our understanding of prayer by beginning with “Our Father.” More than just a personal connection to God, Jesus invites us into something far more expansive: a shared spiritual identity that binds us to one another.

The Gift of Being Fully Alive

A few years ago, I wasn't having a great time. Granted, very few of us were. But I had spent 20 years being a pastor and building community, and all of a sudden, I was a YouTuber, and it just wasn't a lot of fun. And so I picked up some bad habits that weren't serving me well. But as I finally started to come out of that and feel like myself again, I realized that if I wanted to continue on that trajectory, then I needed to make some changes in my life.
