Everything Is Now

Have you ever stopped to think about what time really is? We tend to live our lives as if there’s a past, present, and future—but what if that’s just a story we’re telling ourselves? Let’s break this down. Time as a Human Construct What we call “time” is really just a way of measuring change. It’s the ticks of a clock, the movement of the sun, or the pages of a calendar flipping by. But none of these things are... Read more

How Creativity Can Change Us and Our World

We often think of creativity as something reserved for artists—painters, writers, musicians, sculptors. And sure, these expressions of creativity are beautiful and impactful.

Creativity as Transformation Not only can creativity change the world, it already has. Consider... Read more

The Sufi Poet Who Dared to Speak Truth

Last updated on: December 10, 2024 at 9:35 pm By Keith Giles

In the 9th century, a Sufi mystic named Husayn Ibn Mansur al-Hallaj lived a life so controversial, so deeply radical, that it ultimately cost him his own. His crime? Suggesting that the holiest of temples was not found in stone or shrine, but within each of us. His words unsettled the religious authorities of his time, and for his unorthodox theology, he was condemned as a blasphemer and executed. Yet, even death couldn’t silence him. The poetry of Al-Hallaj vibrates... Read more

The Treasure Within

What if the answers you’re searching for aren’t out there somewhere, but already within you? Let’s explore this idea together, weaving through our shared human experience of stress, deconstruction, and growth. Life has a way of throwing curveballs. Sometimes it’s the chaos of politics or global crises. Other times, it’s deeply personal challenges—family struggles, career stress, or finding our footing in an ever-shifting world. Yet, in the midst of all this, there’s a wellspring of wisdom inside us, waiting to... Read more

Queering Scripture

Let’s talk about something that might make some of you squirm a little (and that’s okay): a queer approach to scripture. Now, before you click away, hear me out—because what we’re diving into today isn’t just about LGBTQ+ identities (though they’re central and sacred in this conversation). It’s about how the Bible itself invites us to see beyond the boundaries we’ve been handed and to embrace a faith that disrupts, transforms, and liberates. Here’s the deal: every single one of...
