Holy Rhythms for a Whole Life

- by Charleen Jongejan Harder

Most of us seek balance in our lives. We often talk about work-life balance as something that we can “achieve”, as though we can check off that goal as completed, and never have to address it again. In my experience however, balance is fleeting - we achieve balance for a moment, or a brief season, and then something in our circumstance shifts and we need to recalibrate again.  Like a pendulum swinging in a Grandfather clock, balance is something that we pass through again and again.

How to talk about church?

- by Maxwell Kennel

The church is at an interesting place in its history. We encounter church today, expecting much from it, and yet it has been around for a long time, with so much time and change behind it. When we’re young, we imagine that the church has always been this way: the way we experience it now. Our memories of church may go back over our lifetime, but they rarely go back more than a generation.
