Baptism of the Lord
The baptism of the Lord is the beginning of His earthly ministry. A God whose power is to be feared so fiercely loves us that that fear is turned into a place of safety. A God who is so powerful that His voice can break cedars descends as a dove and allows a man to […]

Just Show Up: The dance of walking through suffering together
I know a thing or two about stumbling over my words, of wishing I had the right thing to say in the right moment. We’ve all been there I’m sure – when a friend is suffering and we want to provide comfort but are to afraid to get involved. I also know a thing or two […]
