An Invitation to Readers

Pathways to Belonging

Pathways to Belonging is an invitation to an experience of community, connection, and meaning. We need belonging as much as we need air to fill our lungs. But alienation, isolation, and distrust are the everyday markers of our lives—including our faith communities. The twenty-two contributors in this book offer an engaging path forward, inviting readers to the promise and peril of Christian belonging.

Belonging matters now more than ever. Indeed, belonging is the question of this generation. Like the air we breathe, belonging is also a matter of life and death.

Crisis and Care

In the wake on unimaginable loss and uncertainty, this collaborative work tells stories from local leaders and faith communities.

 

Speaking and Conusulting

I speak and work with individuals and organizations to support the conditions that enable adaptive change and collective action.
