Return To Our Senses by Christine Sine

Return To Our Senses: Re-Imagining How We Pray (Book Review)

By Jason Fowler on 02/03/2013

Instead of offering a formulaic approach to a successful prayer life, Christine invites us to reengage our spiritual imaginations – to rediscover the love of GOD and the joy of unceasing conversation with Him…

Return To Our Senses: Reimagining How We Pray

Return To Our Senses: Reimagining How We Pray

By Christine Sine on 01/19/2013

Each moment is, I believe, pregnant with new possibilities, new concrete expressions of prayer waiting to be born. What are the creative ways that God might stir your imagination through this experience of closeness, into new expressions of prayer?…

In a culture of distraction there is an urgent need to reclaim lament

Lament: Neil Postman and A Culture of Distraction

By Jason Fowler on 08/03/2012

We must learn again to weep before GOD…to stop looking to call down fire on a nation that is wandering in darkness. We can never forget that Judas was a Zealot and Peter did not build the early church until he was broken by his own pride before the loving face of Jesus. The only way forward is a journey of lament…

"...pray without ceasing..." -1 Thessalonians 5:17

The Prayer Movement and the Renewal of All Things

By Jason Fowler on 05/04/2012

Jenny & Tyler: Faint Not (Video)

Jenny & Tyler: Faint Not (Video)

By Jason Fowler on 04/11/2011

Out of this struggle to continually choose sacrificial love we are reminded that it is not idealism or politically-inspired activism but humble submission to the Holy Spirit through whom we can say, like the ancient Hebrew psalmist-king David, “o my soul, faint not, no faint not | o my soul, keep up, up in love”…

Like Jesus, we must take time to seek GOD in the "thin places"

Pilgrimage and Thin Places: Seeking Intimacy With GOD

By Carl Peet on 04/10/2011

Within days of my salvation, I longed to spend time in nature, seeking GOD and seeing Him reflected through His creation. There were times when a major decision was required in my life, and the mountains and beaches were where I sought GOD’s response…

Prayer for Japan: Have mercy Lord! (montage: J Fowler)

Litany For Japan and the Work of Prayer

By Jason Fowler on 03/20/2011

Despite feeling overwhelmed though -the work of prayer is still the task at hand…Let us offer up cries for mercy to GOD together as families and church communities in our localities and particular places -for a world in need of redemption. Today I focus on Japan because it is most on my heart…

Our son Elias: In one moment our whole life changed

Searching For A New Normal

By Jason Fowler on 03/03/2011

We made the difficult decision of temporarily moving off of the farm we live on to seek needed support…We plan on going back sometime after Elias’ surgery but as the weather turns warm and Winter gives way to Spring we won’t be doing our typical large garden plot…

Sustainable Traditions 2010 Christmas Greeting

Sustainable Traditions 2010 Christmas Greeting

By Jason Fowler on 12/23/2010

To the humble a door opens. We stoop to enter in, we leave our selves at the threshold, we clothe ourselves in Him. In weakness He overturns the strong, in foolishness He shames the wise. Be born anew in the barnyard of our lives…

Will you pray with us for Elias?

No Ordinary Child

By Jason Fowler on 12/23/2010

This Christmas I am deeply considering how our story- and more specifically the story of my newborn son- is intertwined with GOD’s story- the GOD who was incarnated in the frail frame of a baby- much like my son…
