  • Episode 81: Chosen Journeys

    Pastor Kris and Shelley talked today about welcoming and hospitality. Shelley muses that she welcomes others by meeting them at their level or engaging those on the sidelines. Similarly, Christ is calling us, offering us to take his yoke and find our burden lightened.  From the many yokes we wear—career, search for financial security, family responsibility—we are offered rest, a cool drink of water, and a path to live in presence.
