"We declare to you what was from the beginning... concerning the word of life." These words penned by "The Elder" in the prologue of 1 John set the stage for a letter addressing a maturing Christian community, inspiring them to faithfulness and fellowship in Christ, who is eternal life.

Jesus' parable about a man who had two sons is one of the most famous and familiar stories in Western literature. Where do we find ourselves in it?

For a lot of people, June is lost and found season—the time when schools and clubs and teams and choirs set out all the things kids have lost over the past year and try to return them to their owners. In Luke 15, Jesus tells three stories about lostness and foundness, challenging us to rethink the very concepts themselves.

Karyn Nancarvis, a chaplain at Garden Spot Village, reflects on the significance of God's faithfulness over time.

Our culture's command to "never forget" carries a sense of fraught, almost religious, obligation, as if salvation is found in memory alone. How do followers of Jesus respond, particularly when this fixation on the past seems to drive future conflict, violence, and suffering?

Jesus' response to a violent and untruthful world is to send His followers out like sheep in the midst of wolves, inviting them to be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves. How do we live in this paradox in the midst of our culture's epistemic crisis?

Some of the very same leaders who were so adamant in their defense of the idea of "absolute truth" a few decades ago seem to now quite comfortably embrace "alternative facts." How do followers of Jesus see to it that no one takes us captive through philosophy, but that we allow the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth?

Is it fair to say that humanity is facing a knowledge crisis (or "epistemic crisis") today? A range of books and articles are exploring the question from contemporary perspectives, but what can followers of Jesus learn by engaging the wisdom of Scripture?

Why do Christians seem to be overrepresented in cult-like movements and conspiratorial thinking? As people who follow Jesus, how do we orient ourselves toward Jesus' truth?

About 2/3 of the Psalms could be categorized as lament—pleas for God to rescue or questions in the aftermath of catastrophe. When we experience grief, we often wonder why God doesn't answer us... but maybe that's because we haven't heard God calling out to us through Jesus.
