Family
Family life is holy ground — and it is also exhausting, complicated, and full of surprises. These posts explore what it looks like to live out faith in the middle of it all: in the car with kids asleep in the back seat, in the rhythms of Advent and Christmas, in the grief of loss and the practice of presence, in the invisible labor of love that rarely gets named.
