Week 1 of Advent. Remember it's a story too. Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift help us.

You're enough. There's enough. More than enough. Abundance. The universe, Elizabeth Gilbert, and a parable of workers in a field (along with others) all say it.

A small seed, a small cramped space for an astronaut, a small mistake and more small stories, that aren't.

We're so excited to have Janeen Steer come and talk about the unjust judge and prayer and justice and what it might mean.

We check out the Good Samaritan. And for those of us who can relate to being in a ditch, we talk about who we can expect to save us and who we can expect not to. (Hint: don't expect religious people to help much.)

What a privilege to have these three amazing authors, speakers, thinkers, and overall kind, compassionate men at Branches. At one time. We ask questions and they respond.
