In this special episode, we’ll be talking about service and advocacy – the gifts of volunteering and how to follow a call to get involved, whether that’s full time or just the little bit of time you have to give. We’ll talk about how to deal with overwhelm and burnout, how to figure out what direction to move in, and how service can connect you with a community of other people.
Read MoreFinding peace in a troubled world is a serious challenge. However, Christ does not want us to be troubled. Christ offers us peace and shows us what we need to receive that peace – God’s loving Providence and each other.
Read MoreGod extends joy to us in abundance, just as God continues to call us to service and justice, healing and consoling. God calls us to do our little piece to bring about peace, and as we serve God and each other, we’ll find our joy.
Read MoreGod doesn’t ask us to deny our heartbreaks, but God does want to protect us from the further harm that comes from ruminating on negativity. Life brings hard things, but it also offers things which are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, gracious, excellent, and worthy of praise. What if we spend some of our prayer reflecting on the good in our lives and some of it sharing the difficult things with God? “Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard [our] hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
Read MoreGod’s call is not to conform ourselves to everything happening around us but to allow the vision of God’s kingdom of justice, peace, and love to give us hope. God’s will is for us to work to make this vision a lived reality that’s good and pleasing and perfect for everyone.
Read MoreI’m working to not let my heart be troubled or afraid, but even if that’s my default, I don’t have to maintain that setting today. I can modify it. And God is always at work in me, rewriting the code that I can’t even decipher and changing my settings from troubled to peace.
Read MoreGod Space is a spiritual community, a space of welcome and belonging. We’re not a church, but some of us go to church, and some are more spiritual than religious. However we identify, we come together to explore faith and build connection through small groups, social events, prayer, and community service. Come and connect at God Space. You belong here.
