If you’re seeing this, it’s because I’m now a Dad of 2! And that means I’m already sleep deprived to the point that you wouldn’t want to see me right now - so we’re taking some old blogs from back at the very beginning of Checkpoint before these nerdy sermons even existed. We’re remastering them and making them for you to enjoy probably for the first time - since those blogs have been read like, 8 times. All this is to say that, if these feel different than normal, it’s because they are. But I’m excited to offer them to you anyway!


Today’s is from Violet Evergarden, which is a show that you really need to watch, if you’re still sleeping on it. Maybe wait until you’re ready for a good cry, but then get ready for an excellent and emotional story. Violet Evergarden is a show that I’ve actually recommended to many of the pastors in my field because I think it’s probably the best possible presentation of pastoral care that exists - which we’ll talk about in this video. But more than that, Violet Evergarden does an incredible job of exploring the action after the action. How do we cope with the things that happen after the action movie rolls credits? And what can we learn about as people who live in the day-to-day life of humanity? Let’s talk about it.

Checkpoint Church is the place where all people from all walks of life are always welcomed with loving arms. We strive to steer clear from the modern temptations of being too ‘churchy’ or judgmental. We are the safe space for those who haven’t felt welcomed by the church before.
