Continue reading →: Beyond Grasping: Beholding the Boundlessness of GodI’ve long felt God is beyond any category I could ever create, that any attempt to box God into a neat set of definitions falls short. The moment I try to define what God is, I’ve missed the point. God is bigger than my language, bigger than my concepts, even…

Continue reading →: Wrestling with Doubt: An Opportunity For Deeper Engagement With GodThe problem with overly doctrinaire understandings of faith is that they often leave little room for inquiry or doubt. Faith becomes rigid, and any questioning of beliefs or practices is viewed as a sign of spiritual weakness or a “faith crisis.” This mindset discourages curiosity and creates an environment where…

From the very beginning, the church was marked by diversity—at Pentecost, people heard the gospel in many different languages, symbolizing its reach beyond any one nation or culture. The Great Commission calls us…

All that matters to them is how the image makes them feel. That, to me, is both fascinating…

Continue reading →: Living the Dream: Embodying a New Way of Following JesusIt’s far easier to dismantle a system than to build a new one. Yet, constructing an alternative is the true revolutionary act. Personally, I find Western Christianity overly dualistic, often separating the sacred from the secular. I’ve long sought to follow Jesus in a more holistic, integrated way—one that bridges…

One of the most well-known examples is God’s appearance to Moses atop Mount Sinai, shrouded in cloud and fire.…

Through Thine own Anointed One, O God,…

Continue reading →: Good News And Good Works: How Faith Relates To ActionI have been reflecting on the relationship between the good news and good works, particularly in respect to social justice. I affirm that we are saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9). I also affirm that faith that is not accompanied by action, is dead (James 2:17) and that we…

Continue reading →: When Philosophy Turns Dark: The Bleak Worldviews of Great ThinkersIt’s kind of funny (and a little tragic) when you think about it—a lot of philosophers really could’ve used a good therapist! I mean, Schopenhauer spent his whole life convinced that human existence was basically a mistake, and Cioran practically made despair his best friend. Nietzsche famously wrestled with his…

Continue reading →: Living out the Gospel: Reflections on Philippians and the Call to Suffer and ServeI have been reflecting on Paul’s letter to the Philippians, particularly on his profound challenge: “Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.” His words remind me that the good news of Jesus isn’t just something to be received, but something to be lived out.…
