In a season when millennials—the generation born between 1981 and 1996—are leaving the church in droves, we need to start asking honest questions about why.

Over the past year, we have all survived a global pandemic. As we consider all we’ve been through, I’d like to introduce you to a Finnish word: sisu.

Let's not forget the lessons we've learned throughout the pandemic months.

We over-schedule, overstimulate and over-busy our kids all in the name of learning when, in reality, all that overstructuring is creating exactly what we are trying to avoid—kids with little-to-no imagination, creativity or basic life skills. One of the best foundations for life is to give kids the gift of white space, adventure and innocence.

In the midst of the ever-shifting and overwhelming, the rhythmic spiritual practices I developed over the course of three maternity leaves are the things I find myself leaning on most heavily in this season at training college.

Brown’s book is filled with recommendations and practical steps to help readers become Jesus-centred.

For those who are unbanked, underbanked or live on limited incomes and rely on cash, the shift toward cashless payments and online purchases can mean the difference between readily accessing and living without essential items.

God finds joy in watching us enjoy life.

I believe in the mission of our Army. I align with the values of our Army. I resonate with the vision of our Army. But for me, as with many young adults under age 38 across our territory, engagement requires more than believing, aligning and resonating. We must reimagine how we do mission, how we demonstrate our values and how we will achieve our vision.

As the COVID-19 pandemic stretches on, take heart in the truth of the Resurrection and God’s triumph over evil.
