Faith, Science, and the Coolness of God

May 23, 2019 By Drew Bunting Leave a Comment

Listen, I’m not saying I once elevated a communion wafer with a robot arm. That would have been Inappropriate. People would be rightly concerned that such irreverence would cause Jesus to jump out of that wafer as fast as he jumped in.

The Small Wonders of the Season

December 19, 2018 By Laura Shaver 8 Comments

I saw an Instagram post this past week made by a residential program for women who are trying to piece their lives back together after varying circumstances. The picture in the post showed a small child holding a Christmas ornament, the young son of one of the women. The child was entranced with the sparkly red ball in his hands.

Jesus welcomed St. Thomas’s doubt. What about mine?

December 21, 2016 By Marcus Halley Leave a Comment

Jesus never condemns Thomas. Instead, he invites Thomas to come closer.
