An Abundance of Grace

We knew that our sixteen-year-old daughter’s anxiety and depression were more than we could handle. We knew she would need to leave home, bound for a long stay in a therapeutic boarding school in Arizona. She knew it too. But then something happened and I felt God’s presence and care for Lizz and me as sure as the chair I was sitting in.

God Around The World

It is not hard to experience wonder in my discipline. Anthropology is the study of people and cultures around the world, and it produces an endless fascination with the human condition. For a Christian anthropologist, it also provides the opportunity to see God at work in the world, both through the church and beyond it.

Wednesday Night Wonder

String lights illuminate the floor and music spills out of Gough Great Room as the doors swing open and students funnel into the sacred space. This is Wednesday Night Worship — a weekly gathering for collaborative worship amongst the Eastern community: kneeling in awe, praying in confidence, and singing with boldness.

“All too often, supporting leaders don’t offer guidance and insight for fear of being labeled as ‘disloyal’ or not wanting to risk potential reward or recognition. But I refuse to work or live by a spirit of fear. I believe God has given me experiences, education, and insights to help serve others, and that is what I strive to bring to my vocation every day.” .
