BOOK REVIEW: The Knight & the Gardener – Worldviews Make Worlds.
I was recently introduced to the book by Cassidy S. Dale: The Knight & the Gardener – Worldviews Make Worlds. I was deeply challenged as I contemplated where I fit in as I explored his explanation of the two worldviews (knights or gardeners) that so often shape our worlds of faith, missions, and spirituality.

SOUPIFIED – Twice transformed into a Christ-consciousness
And so, the metamorphose begins, taking roughly two weeks to turn from a furry slug into a beautiful, winged butterfly. This process of transformation is no less magical for a follower of Christ than that of the simple caterpillar. Regeneration, transformation and metamorphose is as painful as it is glorious
A Christian response to MINDLESS VIOLENCE
As followers of Jesus Christ, we must declare that the most powerful Spirit alive today is not the one that persecutes, prosecutes or executes. The most powerful Spirit is the one that redeems, restores and resurrects.
