Mission
To offer real people, with real questions, and real issues, some real answers.
Guiding Principles
- God’s story is about God. We are characters in His story about His unchanging, all-powerful goodness and love.
- God desires a “oneness” level of intimacy with His creation.
- If God spoke it, it is written into the fabric of eternity. His words are always true.
- God has spoken His Word to us through Scripture and through His Son, Jesus.
- God is able to perfectly balance His sovereignty and His love. He is completely both at the same time. Our inability to experience God’s power and love is a result of our fallen nature and continual sin and does not change God’s character.
- God has made a way, through His Son, Jesus, for us to be reconciled to Himself and experience the “oneness” that He has for us.
- “Ministry can be fruitful only if it grows out of a deep and intimate encounter with our Lord.” Henri Nouwen
Audience
- People who need help translating what is taught in the Church and the Bible to their everyday situations.
- People who are asking questions about how God heals when life is difficult.
- People who are seeking practical, do-able skills to heal from the struggles they face.

“…in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be 1renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.” Ephesians 4:22b-24
Rest:
“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ.” 2 Corinthians 1:3-5
