“We cannot arrive at the perfect possession of God in this life & that is why we are traveling & in darkness. But we already possess Him by grace & therefore in that sense we have arrived & are dwelling in the light… How far have I to go to find You in Whom I have already arrived!”

HAPPY NEW YEAR FRIENDS! We've got a lot planned for 2025 and invite you to be part of it! No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, you are not alone! Bring your whole, honest self—your faith, your doubts, questions and stories. Let’s reimagine faith together, one conversation at a time.

“Christ walks on the Earth as your neighbor as long as there are people. He walks on the Earth as the one through whom God calls you, speaks to you and makes his demands. That is the greatest seriousness and the greatest blessedness of the Advent message.”
