By Jason Fowler on 11/10/2011

Jesus: the resurrected One (montage: J Fowler)

The Centrality of the Resurrected Jesus

By Jason Fowler on 04/30/2011

We are invited to a Jesus-centric spirituality- a whole-life discipleship- an all encompassing transformation that relies on the central reality of our belief- of Jesus as Lord and Messiah. But without His resurrection His lordship over our lives would be nothing more than a religious facade…

Can we learn from the birds to sing in the dark? (montage: J. Fowler)

Learning From the Birds and Their Song In the Dark

By Jason Fowler on 03/19/2011

Maybe these birds are the greatest of theologians- the most radical of saints – they know the secret of trusting in GOD’s faithfulness. If these birds can sing for joy between the envelope of night and day – can we not learn from them to sing in that in-between place when all seems dark but the clock says day has begun…

Is the liturgical year pointing us to GOD or merely our traditions? (montage: JF)

Reframing the Liturgical Year

By Halden Doerge on 12/23/2010

We do better to simply cry out for God’s coming than to make peace with God’s absence by fixating on our celebrations, with all their traditions and trappings…It has always been meant to be something we simply look through, are helped along by, not something we look at, something we assign divine agency to, or hope in…

Joel Salatin: Why food and farming matters to faith (original image: Fred First)

Joel Salatin | Food: The Cornerstone of Christian Credibility

By Jason Fowler on 10/22/2010

Salatin’s sense of urgency serves as a wake up call for Christians to begin embracing a more theologically holistic view of the world and a more sacred view of both eating and farming as environmentally, socially and spiritually transformative acts…

Be transformed by the renewing of your mind... (montage: J Fowler)

Merton and Rushkoff: A Call To Exodus

By Jason Fowler on 09/28/2010

“We’re living in a totalitarian society. It’s not fascist in a political sense, but in the way that it’s economically organized. It’s organized for profit and for marketing. In that machinery there’s no real freedom…”

For Church Leaders In Denial [video]

For Church Leaders In Denial [video]

By Jason Fowler on 07/19/2010

Sally Morgenthaler speaks candidly about the need for Church leaders to abandon the addictions of constructing self-absorbed communities of faith. Are we more devoted to maintaining our comfort levels and the stability of the Spirit-less status quo or are we willing to deconstruct our glorious religious machinery…
