“Every soil is worth the seed.” For our next episode of our Visible Jesus series, Jessie takes us through an examination of why we sometimes feel queasy talking about Jesus, and asks us to look at who the Jesus we believe in actually is, who He loves, who He heals, and who he says we ought to love. The episode is peppered with important questions: …

The first two chapters of Esther are the prelude to set the scene for us. In chapter 3, the drama begins. We are finally introduced to our main antagonist, Haman, and the lens of the story shifts to the brewing conflict between Haman and Mordecai.

The unlikeliest of characters cropped up in the story as Mordecai introduced Esther. At his urging, Esther realized the importance of wisdom and exercised discretion. Against all odds, Esther is chosen by the King, and a feast was declared in her Persian name. Taxes were cut and returned, gifts were given, but Esther’s heritage remained unknown. Wa…

Christmastide part 2 This week we dive into Ephesians 1:3-14, where Paul beautifully articulates God's redemptive plan through the New Covenant. This covenant is not a backup plan but rather God's original intention for humanity, established before the foundation of the world. We explore how our identity as adopted sons and daughters of God is root…

“Your soul is always drawn towards expansion. But the way of the kingdom is to say, I recognize my reality as being small, and God will use my tiny little part.” We’ve made it to the end of Whole, our journey through Romans. We close with a discussion of the epilogue of Romans, chapter 16, and what it says about who is included in (and vital to) th…

Over the next two months, our theme will be “Sovereignty in the Silence.” As we read the stories of the Bible, it can be hard to imagine seeing some of the miraculous and majestic moments firsthand. It’s inspiring and awe-inducing, but outside of our regular experience. We’re not likely to cross the Potomac or Anacostia River on Monday and see it p…

It’s the last week of Advent, and we focus on the story of Jesus’ birth from a new perspective.

On this third Sunday of Advent, we will continue our series by looking at Joy. We all might be able to sing Joy to the World, but Christians are not exactly known for their irrepressible joy. We might even feel odd at times for fully embracing joy, as if happiness is a sign of immaturity, or of not taking reality into account in our lives. That is …
