Question of the Week:
We’ve seen a lot of changes and challenges to the ways we understand what it means to be a person of faith or a church. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic forced communities to embrace new ways of worshipping. What does it mean to embrace new questions and understandings about church or our own faith, especially when it challenges the traditions we were raised in?

Rick Hamlin, Author of Everlasting Jesus: 40 Days of Timeless Wisdom for Modern Living

Question of the Week:
In today’s busy world full of news and noise, it can be a challenge to actually sit down and read scripture. Then when we finally do, we feel compelled to “get through” the reading to get on to the next thing, without actually absorbing any of Jesus’ teachings. How can we intentionally slow down to truly hear Jesus?
