Profound mystical experiences and the pain of everyday life. Oh and psychedelics. 2 Corinthians 12:2-10

Learning to live by learning to die. It doesn’t get more high stakes than this. Lectionary Scriptures for the Sixth Sunday of Easter: John 15: 9-17 1 John 5: 1-6 Acts 10: 44-48

Pregnant Mary runs away, and it's the best thing she could've done. Luke 1:26-49

Jesus is arrested. Betrayal, power, violence and fear all collide in this moment. What would you do if you were there standing next to him? What would be running through your mind if you were one of his followers? How would you feel if you were one of his friends?    

Jesus performs his first miracle. At a wedding, he transforms water into wine. Was he just being a polite party guest? Or is there more to the story? Pour yourself a glass of vino (or grape juice) and have a listen.
