A reflection for the Second Sunday after Pentecost, on Matthew the tax collector, the woman hemorrhaging for 12 years, and these wonderings:

1. I wonder where in your life you feel stuck? And what does it feel like? 

2. I wonder if you’ve been shunned? Or felt ostracized?

and…in a new period of wondering after Fr. Carl’s reflection:

I wonder if your growth or healing has ever provoked resistance in the people around you? If your flourishing ever pissed people off?

A reflection for Trinity Sunday, on new stories and new imaginations of God, what “doctrine” might be, and these wonderings:

1. I wonder if there’s something that you feel strongly should be done “right.”

2. I wonder if there is something you love to do—or something really meaningful to you—that you can’t do anymore?

and…in a new period of wondering after Fr. Carl’s reflection:

I wonder if there’s something you’ve inherited that you need to creatively reshape, in order to move forward?

A reflection for the Sixth Sunday after Easter.

1. I wonder if there’s an area of your life where you feel restless.

2. I wonder if you’ve ever realized that something that you had invested yourself in cherished was not…the real thing.

A reflection for the Fifth Sunday after Easter.

1. I wonder if you’ve ever shared something important to you, and somebody shut you down?

2. I wonder if there’s a habit or strategy that you formed in another time of life—that isn’t working for you any more?

A reflection for the Fourth Sunday after Easter.

1. When you have something hard to do, I wonder what your self-talk is like? I wonder how you motivate yourself to do something hard?

2. I wonder when you have felt awestruck.

A reflection for the Third Sunday of Easter—meeting the Risen Jesus on the road to Emmaus.

1. I wonder, when was the last time you said something really confidently that you later learned was wrong? (And how did that feel?)

2. I wonder if you’ve ever experienced the presence of a dead person?

A reflection for the Second Sunday of Easter - on “Doubting Thomas.”

1. I wonder when you have felt left out.

2. I wonder when you have realized that a story you’d been telling yourself for a long time needed to be updated, or even let go.

A reflection for the Easter Vigil.

A reflection for Good Friday.

1. I wonder if you’ve had a big experience of grief? 

2. I wonder what you’re grieving right now—maybe a big thing, maybe a small thing?

A reflection for the Fifth Sunday of Lent.

On the raising of Lazarus, and who God might be.

A reflection for the Fourth Sunday of Lent.

On Jesus and the man blind from birth: disability is not a mark of judgment. Disability does not say anything about a person’s soul.

A reflection for the Third Sunday of Lent.

On Jesus, meeting the Samaritan woman at the well.

A reflection for the Second Sunday of Lent.

Nicodemus, coming to Jesus wanting more of what Jesus has, but afraid to risk it… afraid to let go of what has gotten him this far.

A reflection for the Third Sunday after the Epiphany.

A reflection on Tina, realizing that she wants to be a different kind of parent than the parents she had. And a reflection on the Gospel according to Matthew, as a realization that some of Isaiah’s vision must be carried on—and other parts can be let go of.

An invitation to “believe” as an intentional expansion of the ways we were taught to believe.

A reflection for the Second Sunday after the Epiphany.

A reflection on the witness of Jesus in response to the politics of spectacle invoked by the Trump Administration. And a further invitation to say the Nicene Creed, this week as a protest song, as a freedom song.
