I used to believe conversion was a moment in time. I used to see conversion as an event that happened when we prayed a prayer or made a decision - and from that point on, we were choosing to trust God with our lives.

As much as I treasure the moments of profound surrender that have happened along my life’s journey, I no longer think of conversion that way. I see it instead as a process.

I am constantly being converted into God’s ridiculous way of love.

For the past month, we moved through the story of Jacob’s family found in Genesis. It’s the tale of family dysfunction, complete with favoritism, jealousy, hatred & revenge. It starts with Jacob’s favorite son, Joseph, being thrown into a pit by his own brothers. That’s not how the story ends though.

Throughout our life together, we have been guests in some incredible community spaces.

Not owning a building has caused us to not only get creative, but to rely on the hospitality of others in our community (which means we’ve gotten to cross paths with some really wonderful people!).
