Northaven episodes:

• March 10, 2020Freedom To Choose

  An uninvolved, transcendent God is not going to help us. What we need is a

  God who will take on flesh and get down in the messiness of this world

  where people are struggling to find hope. What we need is a God who will

  scoop us up and breathe holy breath into us again and again. That’s a God

  who will not remain aloof, but will inspire us!

• February 25, 2020Our Turn To Shine

  The disciples faced challenges. But they eventually got it. They followed

  their trusted guide, and somewhere along the way they embraced at least a

  alone, to be courageous. Remember that the God incarnate provides

  extravagant grace that every one of us will be is called to reveal in

• January 14, 2020Planting Seeds: Good Soil

• December 23, 2019Joy: Strange Stuff

  I think what we want from our faith at Christmas time is what people have

  People have always wanted to believe that no matter how bad it gets or how

  grim reality seems to be, God can redeem it.

  that love within us.
