Stranger God: God is Strange

Last updated on: February 8, 2018 at 12:47 pm By Jonathan Storment

“I never thought Angels would have so many tattoos.” -Richard Beck I want to start a series over the next few weeks reviewing a great new book by my friend Richard Beck. It’s his book Stranger God: Meeting Jesus in disguise, and I think it’s an incredibly important book for Christians to read.

What’s in a Name

Last updated on: January 30, 2018 at 10:43 am By Eva Petross

There was a day in North Africa that I was introduced to a woman named Rasaas. I commented on how pretty her name was and how I hadn’t heard it before. She smiled a little shyly and asked me if I knew what her name meant. I said that I didn’t. She casually started into a story about how her village was raided by soldiers on the day that she was born. Her father and uncles were killed. And instead... Read more

Choosing Christmas: Glory to God in the Lowest

Last updated on: December 11, 2017 at 6:17 pm By Jonathan Storment

The Golden Coral may not be what comes to your mind when you think of holy ground, but it’s come to be that for me. The Church where I work, has a relationship with a half-way house for men just getting out of prison. These are guys who are needing a second chance in life, they’re often battling addictions, and always fighting to get a job. And over the past few years one of our Highland Church elders has invited/paid... Read more

Words from God, not from Ourselves…

Last updated on: November 28, 2017 at 5:17 am By Eva Petross

When we first moved to a series of refugee camps in North Africa we had two kids – a barely two year old and a three month old. We lived in a mud hut for about eight months while waiting for a more permanent house to be built, which was much harder than I would like to admit. During that time I prayed gut-wrenching, agonized prayers. And invariable they went something like this, “Please Lord, I am begging you, out... Read more
