In this week’s blog I talk about Luke 12:32-40 and I reflect that Jesus’ first words are “Be not afraid…” Also, if it is God’s pleasure to give us the kingdom, how are we called to love the world around us and those within it in order to be ready for Christ’s return?

In this week’s video I talk about the ways in which God works in the darkness as well as the light, while also discussing how God cares about the whole person, body, mind, & spirit.

In this weeks blog I discuss a heavy time for me and a need to sit in God’s presence and let God remind me who I am in God’s eyes.

In this week’s video I discuss the challenge and necessity of remembering our common humanity and the need to love our neighbor as ourselves. In these uncertain and divisive times.

In this week’s blog, I take a few minutes to reflect on Jesus’ farewell discourse in John 14 :23-29. Given the amount of room taken up by this relatively small piece of scripture, I believe there is more in here about being a disciple in our time than almost anywhere in the new testament.

In this week’s blog, I examine why the name, Doubting Thomas is more than a little misleading and what this post resurrection story has to tell us about our own faith.

In this week’s blog, I reflect on the passage from First Corinthians 15 where the the apostle Paul talks about Christ’s victory over death and the ways in which the Easter story isn’t just about a heavenly future to come, but also about changing and transforming our life in the hear and now.

When we look at the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday it’s amazing to think that the Roman Governor Pilot was entering the city at the same time. How does Jesus’ entry lead us to question those in power and turn what matters to the world upside down.

In this week’s blog, I reflect on the story of the prodigal son, and specifically, the interaction that the father has with each son during the story. What does the father’s conduct tell us about God’s love and the role of grace in our life?

In this week’s blog we talk about repentance as a turning towards Jesus; as a way of discussing that everything we experience in life God sees and cares deeply about. The text we use this week is the story of Jesus talking to the crowd in Luke chapter 13 verses 1-9.

This week‘s Blog is a reflection on the government of Texas response to transgender kids and their families. Jesus was a person who stood with the marginalized, and encouraged us not to through stones! The governor and his administration want to criminalize a marginalized group.

In thinking of our reading on Luke chapter 6, we are challenged by Jesus to asked love those who are hard to love and, in fact, love those who would hate us. I cant help but think of the disciples in the Bible who would have responded to Jesus, this is a hard lesson.

In this week’s blog, I look at Psalm 138 and I’m reminded about what God says about who God is and what are response should be as God’s people.

First Corinthians 13 is commonly known as, “The Love Chapter,” however this chapter is so associated with weddings that sometimes we can lose track of its radically challenging nature.

In this week’s blog, I reflect on the reading of the law to the people of Israel in Nehemiah. It seems to me in this text we have a people that are once again feeling protected and safe, and the first thing they do is reconnect to their history through the law to learn to better connect to one another. In these times of uncertainty that we are currently living through, what collective history do we need to remember, to better connect to God and one another?

The question of why Jesus needed to be baptized is one that theologians have been trying to answer for centuries. In this weeks blog, I reflect on how, in a culture that wants to look for the deeper meaning of ‘everything’, what does it do for us if the baptism story is simply a way for God to tell their son, “I love you.” Do we often think about how we please God?

A happy new year’s message from The Julian Way and an opportunity to share with you our dreams and goals for 2022 and beyond.

In this blog I reflect on Jeremiah Chapter 33:14-16 to talk about how it takes patience to notice how God is keeping God’s promises, but that God will work for our ultimate restoration in the end and we need only pay attention to doing our best to live with Righteousness and Justice at the front of our hearts.

In this week's blog, I discuss how communities of faith could use the story of Hannah's petition before God in First Samuel, to reflect on how we can serve people best, who are experiencing Trauma.

In this week’s blog, I reflect on the story where Jesus talks to the crowd about The Greatest Commandments. I ask the question, what if loving the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength means having an honest conversation about where and when we struggle, and how things change if we focus on loving ourselves first and that love gives us the ability to love our neighbors.
