Dangerous Book: Dare to Break Your Limits
Monday May 22, 2023
Monday May 22, 2023
While what gets shared of the Bible often seems to limit, the eyes of the Bible seem to be on the horizon, or even beyond it. The real danger is often less approaching the seemingly impossible than living within our limits!

Dangerous Book: Dangerous People
Monday May 15, 2023
Monday May 15, 2023
The Bible certainly plays into the patriarchy of its era, but it also upended it. And if Jesus was a gauge for what threads in the fabric of our world really make a difference, then we can assume there is great power where others miss it. What are we overlooking today? Around us and within us.

Dangerous Book: Dangerous Blessings
Monday May 08, 2023
Monday May 08, 2023
This “dangerous” book provides some possibilities that are pretty counter-cultural; challenging what it means to be human and how to be a human alongside others. So, what does “being blessed” mean? Is it about securing the space around you, or could it be about creating more space for you and for those around you?

Monday May 01, 2023
We aren’t the first generation to face threatening winds or to respond with desperation, denial, and despair. From cover to cover, the Bible reveals a powerful Spirit. What spirit do we inherit from those ancestors? Could it be just the kind of dangerous we need right now?

Dangerous Book: Dangerous Role Models
Tuesday Apr 25, 2023
Tuesday Apr 25, 2023
It’s easy to want to be a hero or to want one to rescue us. The Bible plays along with so many other cultures in creating heroes, but you might be surprised when you look deeper at some of those “heroes” and how they give us a picture of what always has shaped us into the people of love, justice, and hope that God imagines.

Dangerous Book: How the Bible Can Be the Better Kind of Dangerous
Monday Apr 17, 2023
Monday Apr 17, 2023
The Bible is hard to understand and apply to our world today. And face it, it has been used to control and hurt. But that's not the only kind of danger it poses. If we recognize its distance from us in time, language, and culture and approach it with humility, wonder, and openness, it can rock our status quo and usher in healing and growth that can only come from the 3-stranded place it embodies. Here Greg Meyer shares some tools that can help the Bible be that better kind of dangerous.

Life Begins in the Dark
Wednesday Apr 12, 2023
Wednesday Apr 12, 2023
Somehow we have developed a love affair with light and mistaken it for life. Easter is about life -- full, undying, hope-filled life and it isn't always found in the light. Life begins in the dark where seeds and cells grow, where mysteries unfold. And it continues in the beauty and wonder of night skies, shadowy forests, and deep inside us. Night and day. Dark and light. Unseen and seen.
“Fabric” reminds us that life can be woven deeply within and among us. We are about weaving the strands of self, others, and the mystery beyond us.
