Justice & Righteousness

Justice is a felt need in our world today, and a controversial topic. But what is justice, exactly, and who gets to define it? Justice is deeply rooted in the storyline of the Bible that leads us to Jesus.

Signs You’re In Captivity

So many people allow negative experiences and broken dreams to stop them. Yet God has the power to propel you beyond your disappointments.

The Ethic of an Exile

The lifestyle of loyal subversion is difficult; we’re living in two kingdoms simultaneously.

Investing in Our Circumstance

Learning to trust and submit our current situation to God is how we can live freely, even in the midst of captivity. Leaning into—rather than running away from—our troubles brings true liberty. 

Lessons from Nehemiah

Learning to lead and overcome opposition from outsiders as well as internal turmoil. 

The Way Of The Exile

Following Jesus in the 21st century means learning the way of the exile. Seeing the experiences of Daniel and his friends in Babylonian exile offers wisdom for navigating this tension.

Power Over Captivity

One thing is consistent throughout the Biblical narrative, people recognizing their current status, and requiring change.

Living for the Promised Land

Original sin exiled us from the garden and grace will take us home again

How should we then live

How can we position ourselves to not just survive but THRIVE as temporary residents in this life? The answers are found by looking and learning from the history of God’s people in exiled captivity.
