Make a New Normal

  • We struggle with talking about family because we have conflicting ideas about the idea, and more importantly, how we embody it.

  • We focus this week on the way Jesus redefines family. And why this whole story gives us trouble in a world devoted to the nuclear family unit.

  • The word family has so much to it: positive and negative. But the call to expand our sense of family is central to our life in faith.

  • This week, we skip over an important piece of the story—that the threat the crowds have on Jesus’s ministry—and the calling of the apostles.

  • Being Alive

    We know Sabbath as the day we’re supposed to take off from work. But the expectation is way more important than a day off.

  • As the current form of artificial intelligence grows, we are experiencing a dramatic transformation in how we live.
