About

It can be difficult to conceptualize the Christian faith without various silos. In practice few have belief, faith, theology, praxis, and their humanity deeply interwoven. As the west emerges from modernism, we must begin our re-engagement. To see the fullness of ourselves aligned together with our beliefs. Labels and conceptual distinctions will continue to be helpful. They should no longer be destinations.

Every Christian is destined for the cross Jesus told them to carry as they follow him.

Here we will talk about these silos in integrated ways. Understanding Christianity is about our intellectual presence and capacities. Embodied Christianity helps us live in a world so far removed from the dirt trails of Palestine Jesus walked. Christian Reflections will invite you to be emotionally present and open to realities of God.

Might these essays and reflections be a part of a reweaving within you. Bringing the parts of yourself into greater oneness. Jesus came in the same mind, body, and heart as you. There is no part of you beyond the intimate concern and attention of God. Let us not stop the work of following Jesus. Of living humble lives of repentance & transformation. Κύριε ἐλέησον!
