We continue in our exploration of the music from The Porter's Gate. This time, the song is from a new, timely project where a conglomeration of musicians, theologians, and pastors are preparing congregations, through song, for the upcoming election season. This first song that Porter's Gate released reframes our priorities to put the kingdom of Jesus first. Take a listen to our reflections and make sure to check out the song too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBk5NGVE_TI.

Join us for another exploration of a The Porter's Gate song - Centering Prayer. How might we incorporate prayer into our mental health practices? Centering Prayer gives us some great resources.

What do the habits of our waking and our bedtime say about our priorities and how can bring sacred rhythms into these often harried moments.

May the 4th be with you... and also with you! With nerds (I mean, scholars) favorite day coming up, we thought it would be good to look at faith themes in Star Wars.
