  • The Crown and the Carpenter

    In contemporary Christian imagination, Jesus is often cast in familiar, even colloquial roles: friend, brother, confidant. He is “gentle and humble in heart” (Matt. 11:29), the shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine for the one, the rabbi who breaks bread and washes feet. And rightly so. He calls his disciples not… Listen ⇢

  • The Lasting Flame

    To read Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians is to overhear a pastor with one hand on the parchment and the other on his forehead. The Corinthian church, planted in a city known for its wealth and sexual license, had become a spiritual theater—filled with performers, rivalries, and applause lines,… Listen ⇢

  • The Blessing Still Stands – From Genesis 1 to Genesis 12

    Is the blessing of Genesis 1 undone by the fall in Genesis 3? Not at all. Fresh Ground Theology made the case that God’s original intention for humanity — to be fruitful, multiply, and rule — is still active. The curse didn’t cancel the blessing; it limited how far sin… Listen ⇢

  • Brewing Faith – A Conversation Over Coffee and Theology

    There’s something almost sacred about sipping freshly brewed coffee while discussing eternal truths.

  • When the Sky Goes Silent

    You remember when God felt close. You prayed, and peace came. You opened your Bible, and it came alive. But now? Now the words lie flat, and heaven seems made of stone. Maybe you wonder if something’s wrong with you or if you’ve failed somehow. This is what the mystics… Listen ⇢

  • A Night More Lovely Than the Dawn?

    St. John of the Cross called it “a night more lovely than the dawn.” But how can something that feels so empty, so dry, so lost be called lovely? The Dark Night of the Sense weans us from spiritual sugar, from the pleasure of God’s gifts, so we might long… Listen ⇢
