Life City

February 1, 2023 | Amelia Dilworth BR ‘23

Sometimes when I look at my Google Calendar, I think of each hour as a city block, and all my events as buildings I’ve constructed in the city of my life.

And sometimes, I think—this is not a city I’d want to live in.

We Can Do Better Than Work-Life Balance

December 27, 2022 | Shayley Martin DC ‘22

What We Need

March 18, 2021 | By Hannah Turner BK ‘23+.5

This past year was not just different because I unexpectedly lived in my childhood home for 10 months. This past year was different because I was living at home as an earnest, believing, practicing Christian. I was not the child, the sister, nor the friend that people remembered.

Ash Wednesday: Confrontation with Mortality

Feb 17, 2021 | By Will Willimon, Professor of the Practice of Christian Ministry at Duke Divinity.

Elevating Work, Prayer, and Potatoes

Feb 5th, 2021 | By Ally Eidemueller BK ‘22

Death in the Pot

Feb 5th, 2021 | By: Shayley Martin DC ‘22

You may know the God who led an entire people out of slavery by splitting a sea. Or who made a couple loaves of bread and some fish into a meal for more than 5,000 people. But there’s another story that you don’t hear about as often. It’s about the same God, but for me it makes the whole rest of the Bible hit different. I want you to meet the God of exploding cucumbers.
