Awaken your senses to a life beyond survival

In an age of conflict, disparity, and uncertainty, do we really need more church practices built around self-denial, grief, suffering, penance, and fasting? For individuals and communities on the margins, we don’t need weekly or daily reminders about grief–we have enough already. Instead, we need traditions that oppose death and decay with resurrection and triumph. We need to shout “Increase!” for access and collective participation with the deep and wide ethic of radical love.

Whole and Human offers 40 meditations on our relationships with land, body, spirit, and justice with invitations to engage life-giving spiritual practices rooted in the five senses. In this guide for spiritual cultivation, we’re not ignoring the hard times or any losses. But in the midst of heavy things, we can learn to counter daily challenges with restorative possibilities that help us not only survive calamity but thrive toward a new way of life.

It’s time to nourish our bodies instead of denying them. It’s time to cherish simple and beautiful moments, reengage our curiosity, amplify our wonder, pursue justice, and most of all seek ways to love ourselves and one another well. One day at a time.

When We Belong. Reclaiming Christianity on the Margins.

Step into a journey toward liberation, belonging, and a faith that makes you whole again.

We need belonging to survive and thrive. For Christians who know the pain, isolation, and loss of identity that comes with the ongoing struggle to be seen in churches and institutions full of barriers to belonging, you are not alone. Sometimes it can feel easier to walk away from faith completely. But there is another way. When it feels as though there’s no place left to belong, Jesus invites us into a love that knows no bounds and a community that truly liberates.

Published in 2017, my second book holds particular significance in the current polarized world. How will the church re-imagine its posture in the midst of change? Christianity identity in North America is in trouble. Church attendance is mostly stagnant and leaders are struggling to find answers and vision.

Thrive outlines new thinking and methods to re-imagine community development, leading change, and cultivating new ideas in your church. We live in a moment of opportunity to thrive as church in God’s hope in a post-Christian world. Unlock features in you and your church to become co-creators in your cities, neighborhoods, and beyond.
