Here. At hand. Among us.

If your posture in this life is available and open enough to take in all of the Heaven that’s at your fingertips then you’ll most likely find it not so necessary to point out the hell you’re finding, or being sold, in your niche market hand baskets.

Imagine a world where our radars picked up more joy than fights.

Things we often forget to remember…

Rest is part of the journey.

Faces > Places.

“No” can and will save you.

The future only comes to us and happens in the now.

Meaning, peace, and joy hold hands and have parallel trajectories.

We are family.


Hopefully we can start remembering not to forget.

Episode 37: The Unexpected Gifts of The Contemplative with Chris Heuertz

Chris Heuertz has spent his life bearing witness to the possibility of hope among a world that has legitimate reasons to question God’s goodness.

Named one of Outreach magazine’s “30 Emerging Influencers Reshaping Leadership,” Chris is a curator of unlikely friendships, an instigator for good, a champion of collaboration, and a witness to hope, Chris fights for a renewal of contemplative activism.

In this episode, Chris illuminates three gifts of contemplative spirituality: an awakened sense of our true identity, an acceptance that everything belongs, and an ability to root ourselves in the gifts of community.

The busy badge…

…has to start being called what it really is.

First, it is not working for us.

Secondly, it is not real.

Lastly, it only numbs reality.

Are you fulfilled?

If so, you’ll have no need to show a badge.
