Earlier this week was , so here's a photo that our own Jordan took that morning near our offices in Pasadena.

"Get out of bed, Jerusalem! Wake up. Put your face in the sunlight. God's bright glory has risen for you. The whole earth is wrapped in darkness, all people sunk in deep darkness, But God rises on you, his sunrise glory breaks over you. Nations will come to your light, kings to your sunburst brightness." - Isaiah 60:1-7 (The Message translation by Eugene Peterson)

“If my theology doesn’t help me be a good relative, I need better theology” - Lenore Three Stars.

Today we celebrate by sharing a lecture given by Lenore Three Stars and presented by Fuller Studio.

Story as Evangelism, an Indigenous Worldview - Fuller Studio In her lecture on “Story as Evangelism,” delivered at the 2023 Missiology Lecture, Lenore Three Stars shares an indigenous perspective on creation theology and reflects on story as a means of evangelism.

Today, we recognize Hiroshima Remembrance Day through the art of kintsugi -- a form of art that creates beauty from brokenness, bringing healing along the way.
