Make a New Normal

discipleship

  • When Jesus transgresses boundaries, he exposes the way people focus on the wrong thing. Like when we do it, too.

  • Get Out

    The essential, necessary character of the Ascension, may seem like a challenge for us, but it is grace for us.

  • The struggle we have, entering into this particular gospel, is to recognize just how much context can reshape our vision of it.

  • This week, we get a familiar example of the challenge of literalism. How we struggle to see the answer is in front of us.

  • Confrontation

    The image of the shepherd challenges the comfortable, moderate church to be responsible for our common safety.

  • After the woman at the well, Jesus gets rebellious at home, drives a wedge between his followers, and takes on the leaders.
