Lo que a menudo falta es un camino que conduzca a la multiplicación". A partir de las prácticas de Jesús, este libro se enfoca en […]
Jesus inspired creativity
I’ve benefited greatly over the past several months from reading the work of Mennonite theologian Gordon Kauffman. I’ll be honest, I’m not sure I understand everything he wrote, or agree with it all, but the idea of creativity being a central component of God’s work in the world through Jesus is exciting. Especially these days […]

Sitting down while others stand up
Jane and Jerrell work half the year with indigenous church leaders in the Ecuadorian rain forest and half the year as mission workers and educators in the United States.

God’s table
Practicing Lectio-Divina By Dani Klotz OK. I’m just going to say it. Here I go … I am not a huge fan of Lectio-Divina. Now, don’t judge me just yet. Let me explain. For those of us who might need a refresher on what Lectio-Divina is, it is a Benedictine practice of scriptural reading, meditation, […]

Who does Jesus look like?
Imagine you are going through something painful. Some of us don’t have to imagine that. Imagine that, when you pray, you ask Jesus to wrap his comforting arms around you. What does Jesus’ arms even look like? Does it matter? We think so. Our view of Jesus shapes what we think about Jesus and how […]
¿A quién se parece Jesús?
Imagine que está atravesando una situa-ción dolorosa. Algunos de nosotros no necesitamos imaginarlo. Imagine que cuando ora, le pide a Jesús que lo envuelva en sus brazos y lo consuele. ¿Cómo serán los brazos de Jesús? ¿Acaso importa? Creemos que sí. Nuestra imagen de Jesús determina lo que pensamos sobre Jesús y la manera en […]
