“The flood narrative can be one of chaos and darkness but the bow in the sky is a promise of peace, a sign of surrender. This is the story of a God that isn’t against us, but a God that is for us. Not a God of ruin, but a God of renewal.”
Subverting Expectations of God
“The story of Jonah is a well known bible story that you likely heard as a child, if you did, you may have missed the essence of the story. The story has a message that goes far deeper than the surface and often not told in the children’s version. This story disrupts our personal peace and affluence. This story shows us a difference trajectory, where we are not the hero nor the most important person in the story. God is.”
A story of flaws and renewal: King David
“The story of the Bible is overwhelmingly one that involves the oppressed and downtrodden being raised up, and this is immensely encouraging the more you take notice of our current world.”
Letters of Ruin and Rescue
“God is weaving a complex and beautiful basket of restoration for our people, even though I don’t know how, when or why. It’s our stories of hope which remind us again and again that Yahweh is not a God who ignores or abandons. He’s a God who hears, who sees and who powerfully acts. He’s a God who is faithful to restore light and peace to hearts filled with fear and despair.”
The Road to Renewal
“How a privileged kid got shafted, worked his way back up, got shafted again, got back up again, was forgotten, but then rose to the top, bringing life and hope for himself, his family, and his community. “
