Make a New Normal

discipleship

  • Listening

    The Transfiguration is not merely an event: it is a turning point in the work of teaching Jesus has been doing.

  • In the passage right after the Beatitudes, Jesus describes his followers as being like salt. And a light, too.

  • Before we can talk about being “the salt of the earth” we must remember the Beatitudes and our poverty in spirit.

  • Legacies

    Jesus invites fishermen to become disciples. To accept the transformation of their lives. Which is the point.

  • Beyond Family

    In calling James and John away from his father and his business, we see Jesus inviting us into something bigger than family.

  • Our Time

    John the Baptist and Andrew offer a hopeful vision of faith, adaptation, and trust at a time of great change.
