Are you and your family suffering from nature deficit disorder (image by J Fowler of ST)

A Cure For Nature Deficit Disorder

By Kim Dulaney on 04/20/2012

I see it sometimes in my own children…or even in myself…When I feel it coming on me: I know that it is time for my medicine. I take a short walk down to the edge of our woods and river and stand for a few moments in complete silence…

Health for Godly Generations by Renee DeGroot

Health For Godly Generations (Book Excerpt)

By Jason Fowler on 02/05/2012

In her book Health for Godly Generations, the author Renee DeGroot has compiled a deeply thoughtful and provoking conversation…I consider this book to be a solid entry into the growing Christian conversation on health, food and the multi-faceted issues that surround this element of our lives.

Can we still be the Church without our temples? (montage: J Fowler)

Temple and Whirlwind: Rethinking The Church Building

By Jason Fowler on 02/02/2011

Church congregations were part of the same society that wanted supersized houses and the easy loans that made it possible…But now is it the end of a temple-based Christian spirituality in America? Would your community of faith continue on and thrive if the church building was eliminated?…

Do we trust GOD to be a good father? (montage by J Fowler)

Culture’s God or True God?

By Pam Fowler on 12/03/2009

Why do we view God in the way that we do? I have been thinking a lot about the way that I think about God and His character-I have also been thinking a lot about how I think life ought to be and my role in it. How much of these things are truth and how much has been implanted by our culture?

Jesus is Here to Ruin Your Sweet Little American Dream

By Ed Cyzewski on 11/11/2009

If there’s one thing the financial crisis has taught me, it’s that our dreams of wealth and stability are fragile. Jesus wants us to give up on these little dreams we carry and protect…he’s offering an alternative that will not perish or fade away.
