From the breath of life in Genesis 2 to the dry bones of Ezekiel 37, Scripture is an invitation to read as a conversation rather than a rulebook, and to listen for the story that restores our hope and leads us back to Jesus.

Ultimately, listening to spiritual ancestors equips us to enter fully into our own human experience, finding endurance in the surrounding "cloud of witnesses" and taking up the responsibility to live faithfully so that we, too, become good ancestors for the generations to come.

In the series “Learning to Listen,” Bobbi explores the story of Abraham and Sarah being promised a son. Examining Abraham’s hospitality toward three strange travellers at the oaks of Mamre, she shows how welcoming the unfamiliar leads to a divine encounter, or "theophanic revelation."

Marking the launch of Commons Church in Marda Loop, Bobbi explores what it means to truly listen to our neighbours through the story of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10. Far from a moral lesson on basic kindness, Jesus’ parable invites us into an expanding vision of faith — one that moves past rigid boundaries and passive rules into active, extravagant care.
