Since November 2025, I have been thinking deeply about what it means to belong. We belong to families, churches, nations, and communities. Such belonging shapes our identity, our obligations, and our understanding of ourselves. When that belonging is fractured—especially by those entrusted with authority—the loss is more than social. It is a disruption of one’sContinueContinue reading “Belonging in the Covenant Community”

Submerged Roots, Living Waters: A Scriptural Ecology of Life

Jeremiah 17 speaks of rootedness on land beside the river, and Ezekiel 47 speaks of trees with leaves for healing: a biblical vision of rootedness in which trees participate in God’s sustaining and healing ecology.

Jehovah Jireh, my provider
WIP: Ram in the thicket The imprecatory Psalms have been very real to me for the past few weeks. Abraham is one of my favorite characters from the Bible because God called him “friend” (Isaiah 41:8 and James 2:23). I also really loved how Abraham pleaded for the life of Sodom and Gomorrah in GenContinueContinue reading “Jehovah Jireh, my provider”
