"Give us discernment
to know when to speak out,
when to act,
and when to simply
shut off our screens
and our devices
and to sit quietly
in your presence,
casting the burdens of this world
upon the strong shoulders
of the one who
alone
is able to bear them up."
-@EveryMomentHoly
I am excited for the events already lined up and pumped to announce more gatherings soon. My prayer is these event can be part of building an ecumenical people of faith who grow a vision for what it will look like to serve the city through their daily work.
We are diligently working on setting up our Fall event schedule and hope you will join in some of these conversations as we look to better understand how to honor God through our vocations.

The Bear is a show that reveals both the nature of suffering and the simple human power of telling a person in pain — by deeds even more than by words — that he will not be left behind, that he has a place where he truly belongs. https://t.co/6Fv5DMn4kD

I *really* love this song by @Theportersgate:
"When I’m busting my ass but it’s never enough (And I’m working so hard…): Christ beside me
When I work hard but someone else gets the reward: God’s eyes see me."

“Politics and friendship are deeply connected. As strange as it sounds, how we understand what politics is has an effect on the kinds of friendships we are likely to enjoy. And, conversely, how we understand friendship will affect our practice of politics.”
"When politics is understood as war, genuine friendship becomes difficult because friendship contributes nothing to the cause."
David Corey on reclaiming the intrinsic in an extrinsic world.

“Love, community, and growth of character are often - though not always - at odds with efficiency. This is something God has always known and been comfortable with. One of the most inefficient things you can ever do is love another person.”
- Kelly Kapic
“There is no mud of misery or loneliness or despair where Christ does not already stand, always guiding you into pristine, quiet streams of love.” @kjramseywrites
"God’s command to practice the sabbath is a positive command. DO this, rather than a command not to do something. Sabbath is a gift God has given us but we often have barriers that make it difficult to enter into a day or set aside time of rest."
