Let’s Talk About Sex

Last updated on: April 14, 2010 at 5:20 pm By Deborah Arca

So, we're talking about sex in the Public Square this week. Or at least we're writing about it (and very well, i might add). Talking about it seems to be another matter altogether! I wonder if we can begin to talk about it more openly and widely in our communities of faith? What would it look like to have healthy conversations about sex in Church? Read more

Spirituality for Moms

Last updated on: April 13, 2010 at 11:57 am By Guest Contributor

Calling all Moms (and Dads for that matter) -- does this sound familiar?: "In the BK (before kids) era of my life, I was notoriously bad at quiet times. I lacked discipline. And, in the rare periods when I disciplined myself to have a daily quiet time, I quickly found my prayers felt inauthentic. So I dreaded to think what would happen to my already-spotty spiritual disciplines when I had kids!" Fear not. Read the rest of Kathy Tuan-MacLean's article on the unique ways God meets us in our parenting. Read more

Phil, Tiger & Redemption

Last updated on: April 12, 2010 at 9:46 am By Guest Contributor

Bruce Epperly offers this post today: I am delighted that Phil Mickelson won the Masters this weekend. While the media focused on the athletic and marketing redemption of Tiger Woods, there was a deeper story going on, a story of the spirit, of persistence, and of healing. It was a story of redemption, if, by redemption, we mean healing, transformation, and grace. Read more

An Unscheduled Easter

Last updated on: April 6, 2010 at 2:21 pm By Carl Gregg

Our "scheduled" Easter has passed for this year, and perhaps it is good that we do schedule an annual reminder that God is ceaselessly working for love and life in even the bleakest situations. But, in the coming weeks, as new life buds and flowers all around you, I invite you to be open to the surprise of an unscheduled Easter yet to come. Where do you see signs of resurrection in yourself, in those you love, and in creation? Read more
