Doctors & Dying: Caring For Caretakers by Elizabeth Glass Turner

elizabeth.turner July 14, 2020

In the tug of prolonged strain, physicians, like their patients, are vulnerable. Some corners of the United States remain relatively quiet and unaffected by outbreaks of the coronavirus, Covid-19.

Ministry in the Newly Distanced Church (Part 1) by Rob Haynes

Rob Haynes June 8, 2020

Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:4-5

Will You Finish Well? | Part I

Maxie Dunnam January 20, 2026

There are some experiences or encounters that are so solidly lodged in our memory they continue to invade our consciousness – to haunt us – to help us or to hinder our Christian walk, to call and challenge us to be more than we are. John Birkbeck is a person around whom for me a whole cluster of memories is
