Kindred What does the Bible say about diversity? About justice? About race and ethnicity?Kindred is a thoughtfully crafted Bible study by The Navigators, designed to explore these crucial questions.

β€œGod adopts us into his family and knits us together by his Holy Spirit, weaving us into his new Kingdom family culture. But we still need to unlearn the social divisions and hostilities we carry with us.”

More than Christians Transform Your Relationships with the Power of WordsWhat do we call each other? It’s a deceptively simple question, because how we refer to one another is how we understand our relationships.

β€œWhen the earliest Christians talked about one another as β€˜saints,’ . . . [m]any of them had been cut off from their own families because of their faith, but they found themselves surrounded by other believers who said, β€˜You are one of us.’” More Than Christians, by Norman Hubbard #advent

What We Find in the Dark None of us is exempt from loss. We lose what we expected, what we thought we believed, our sense of security or identity. We lose friendships. We lose people we love.

β€œI hated that I knew for almost a year that Jenn would die before Christmas this year. But I will also remember that I heard God, specifically and accurately, and that means that God is real and God speaks to his children.”
What We Find in the Dark, by Aubrey Sampson #advent

Stop Trying to Be Successful Feeling like a failure can be pretty exhausting. But chasing after an ever-elusive β€œsuccess” in money, power, influence, and accolades? That’s even more so.

β€œThe blessed … recognize their neediness, grief, and pain, … desire more of God but … won’t take up power to try and get it, … extend mercy to others, … exhibit purity and pursue peace, and … will probably face criticism for all of the above.” Stop Trying to Be Successful, by Pete Portal #advent

Incarnation God hasn’t abandoned us, God is with us! The Advent season celebrates Jesus, who is the living Word of God, moving into the neighborhood, joining us in life. As the Old Testament prophets foretold,

β€œAdvent counteracts the shallow sentimentality that reduces Christmas to cheap entertainment and a cultural commodity. It reminds us that not all is well with God’s good world.”

"The garden stories of the Bible create all kinds of tension in us: between good and evil, life and death, exile and relationship. But the final garden in the Bible … resolves every tension. … Until then, we are waiting in hope."
Gardens, by Kat Armstrong
