  • Story-Telling as Wisdom

    If you are walking through a dark night and in need of traveling companions, find here a community to dispel the lies of loneliness, fellow students learning to steward their vulnerability, and space to linger in the twilight—even while you hope for dawn. No cheap theology or glamour posing as beauty. This is the real thing.

  • Tremendous!

    This is what you hear when an artist takes the time to share at a concert or article. But to hear them voice these thoughts with us in such a thought ful way is better than notes on an album liner!! Thankful for this creative idea and for this ultra special episode with ultra special Carolyn Arends!
