Christine reflects on these last words of Revelation, “Come, Lord Jesus,” as a cry for God's presence, healing and renewal in a world marked by pain and longing. This prayer is our heart's cry, calling seekers of all kinds to embrace both personal transformation and communal action, aligning our lives with Christ's vision of justice and healing. John's vision in Revelation 21-22 paints a vivid picture of heaven coming to earth, challenging us to become co-creators in the work of renewal. We're invited to embody this prayer through repentance, hope, and active participation in God's kingdom.

Fifth Sunday In Lent | The Rt. Rev. Mary D. Glasspool
In a world marked by turmoil and uncertainty, the transfiguration of Jesus invites us to rediscover the power of prayer as a channel to God's sustaining presence. This sermon weaves personal testimony with the wisdom of spiritual ancestors, reminding us that mystical experiences are not distant relics but present-day invitations to be changed, to listen, and to align our lives with the movement of love. As we journey through the season of Epiphany, may we practice staying awake—seeking God in prayer, sharing our experiences, and stepping forward in hope.
Memory is more than recollection—it is the lifeblood of hope. Drawing from Alvin Ailey's "blood memories" and the deep-rooted faith of Simeon, Anna, Mary, and Joseph, we explore how our embodied connections to the past sustain us in the waiting. When we remember—our ancestors, our communities, our sacred stories—we tap into a reservoir of resilience, carrying us forward with purpose and promise.
On this third Sunday of Epiphany, Christine explores the transformative power of suffering and love as embodied by the life and ministry of Jesus. Amidst the fear and division of today's political and social climate, Christians are called to align with their "north star"—serving the poor, brokenhearted, and marginalized. Through prayer, creativity, and faithful action, we are challenged to embrace the refining fire of love, letting it awaken and guide us to bring hope and healing to a fractured world.

Christine interviewed Poogy Bjerklie who shared how she has always been drawn to the "in-between" times, how color and light change in the sky right before night falls, where you feel the emotional weight and vulnerability. She shared about finding beauty in unexpected places and how God met her in a muddy puddle during a particularly dark season.
