Spiritual Permanence in a Culture of Impermanence

  • by

We often don’t think about the tension we experience between the visible and the invisible. This space between the visible and the invisible is not merely philosophical; it is subconsciously woven into the fabric of our daily lives.

The Parallel between AI & Creation

As a pastor, theologian, and co-founder of a non-profit organization whose mission is to cultivate a new vision of work, the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) raises a growing number of existential questions. From actors to lawyers, an increasing number of professionals feel threatened by the growing applications of AI.

Bioimimicry and Being Easter People

He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”  Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.” John 20:15 (NIV) It was always curious to me that in Jesus’ first resurrection appearance, he was mistaken as the caretaker of the garden.  Yet, the more I consider… Read More »Bioimimicry and Being Easter People

Responding to Racism

Last Friday, we had a small gathering to listen, unearthing questions we all had regarding the injustice our Black brothers and sisters continue to face.  We listened to each other as we were listening for God to guide us.  We prayed as we read Psalm 7, and after our time several participants shared resources that we have compiled and made available below, so that as a community seeking the wisdom and… Read More »Responding to Racism
