LIVING SCRIPTURES is an ongoing series that explores how the Holy Spirit inspired the Scriptures within their original historical, cultural, and literary contexts and then invites Him to illuminate and apply these truths today.


BLOG SERIES
We have several series of subjects we've discussed in our blog. These series include:

LESSONS FROM THE GARDEN In this series, Lacey reflects on everyday experiences in the garden — exploring how planting, pruning, cultivating, and simply paying attention can reveal meaningful lessons about our relationships with God, ourselves, and others.

RECOVERY In this series, Nathan reflects on his own recovery journey while comparing recovery and Christian cultures — exploring both to better understand and apply grace toward ourselves and others.

REFLECTIONS In this series, Nathan reflects on personal experiences, observations, and questions — exploring how the ordinary and unexpected moments of life can help us better understand our relationships with God, ourselves, and others.
