I’ve been hearing a lot of folks wrestling with the foundational question: What is God? Here are some thoughts from our recent Harbor gatherings.

A reward in heaven, frankly, doesn’t mean much to me in the face of so much suffering in my present. That being said, I am grateful that Jesus places me and us in the line of the persecuted prophets, and that by being “blessed,” God’s solidarity with us is assured.

An election just happened. Many people are not happy about it. Does our faith have anything to offer us?

Last month I met someone who, at the end of our meeting, asked, “How can I pray for you today?” I sensed in his request a concern for me and genuine desire to support me however he could. I also sensed that God wanted the same thing.

Of all the spiritual practices we decide to keep or lose, prayer is one of the most complicated.
