It's an upside down Christmas at The Grove! While we tend to focus on what the incarnation — God becoming enfleshed in Jesus — taught us about God, we're spending this season asking what it means for us to be human.

In the final week of our short but important series "Good Trouble," we're discussing what it looks like to commit to courageously confront racism. Fortunately Jesus provides us with an example of what it looks like to make a long, hard commitment to being fully human in all its messiness.

As we continue our short but important series "Good Trouble," we explore the ways relationships help us courageously confront racism. The lived experience of others ought to shape what we think, what we do, and how we pursue reconciliation across the racial divide.

Today we kick off a short but important series about courageously confronting racism called "Good Trouble." As individual followers of Jesus and a church, the work of antiracism is a fundamental piece of what it means to grow goodness and cultivate the common good.

Nearing the end of our "Crowded Table" series, we're exploring the fact that making room for everyone means making room for a lot of people. Fortunately the goodness of God is limitless and our goodness can be limitless as well.

Going into the back half our "Crowded Table" series, we're moving from who is at the table to what happens with the people who are there. The best tables are where memories are not only shared but made and adapted.

In the third week of our "Crowded Table" series, we're pulling up an extra chair for unexpected guests. Often the people who are convinced they don't belong or aren't deserving are the ones we need most to show us the gift of life and faith.
