- The Stories That Make Us Weep
Our connection to history is mediated through stories. This is the story of how I found my own, discovering that a "blend defying easy definition" in my family's past was the very thing that allowed a work of fiction to move me so deeply, and why hearing your story is just as important.
- Orange is more than just a shirt: It’s a call to live the life Jesus wants us to live!
Wearing an orange shirt on Orange Shirt Day transcends mere symbolism; it’s a provocative call to confront uncomfortable truths about our theological and political failures. It challenges us to embrace authenticity in our faith, prioritize reconciliation, and actively combat systemic racism while acknowledging every culture's value. Are you ready to join this crucial journey?
- Babylon is Fallen: Is it Destruction… or Transformation?
In our quest for justice, we often overlook God's deeper plan: transformation over destruction.

Let us be instruments of change, fostering restoration instead of waiting for punishment.

Embrace your flawed humanity; it's not a hindrance but your greatest asset in the mission of reconciliation. Live with purpose.

Ang Kagubatan ay isang tanyag na patunay ng kaluwalhatian ng Diyos, na pinapakita ang kanyang paglikha sa mga detalye at ingay ng kalikasan. Ang mga hayop, puno, at lawa ay nagkukwento tungkol sa kanyang kabutihan. Bilang bahagi ng nilikha, may tungkulin tayong ipahayag ang ating testimoniya tungkol sa Diyos, kahit na naapektuhan tayo ng kasalanan.
- The Bush: A Reflection on Nature and God’s Glory
In the cacophonous beauty of the Bush, nature's vibrant testimony lays bare the glory of God. Each rustling leaf, every bird call, insists on a divine narrative that transcends human judgment. Yet, amidst our sin and societal chaos, the challenge remains: will we engage with creation, amplifying its chorus, or let it fade in silence?
