Q&A - How do I enjoy the cyclical dance of life?

A: (from Brandon) I get it! I want to “relax and enjoy the dance” of life with Jesus too. But how!? The simple answer is, you just do.The better answer is that “relaxing and enjoying” is not something you have to do. Rather it’s a “not doing.” It’s creating some space in your heart, mind, and life so that the unexpected, the beautiful, the presence of God, can be noticed.

Q&A - Why don't I feel loved by God unconditionally?

A: From Peter: I suspect that one of the reasons we can't fully grasp or feel God's unconditional love is that we have abundant examples of conditional love. Our lived experience in this world is that "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours." We're used to getting offers that end with a rushed voice saying, "terms and conditions apply, offer not valid if... see site for details."

Q&A - Does God only give us what we can handle?

A: From Peter: Mmm, this is a tough one. As a chaplain I've heard many people say something along the lines of, "Well, God never gives me more than I can handle, so I can't complain." Sometimes I almost hear the unspoken, question "...right?" at the end of their sentence.

Acting Acceptable

“If I put the effort in, I could be the way I’m supposed to be, and God might become pleased with me. But I don’t.” Feeling acceptable as a follower of Jesus always feels JUST out of reach.
