A return guest Michelle Van Loon speaks to me about her 50 years involved in many versions of Christian Evangelism and getting rid of what is non essential from her book Downsizing.
In preparation for an adult-level Sunday School class, I came across an article that I wanted to share with you. It features the three momentous conceptions from Réne Girard and his keen insights on human behavior, violence, and how the work of Jesus the Christ deals a final blow to human violence and retribution.
I invite you to read and grow with the spiritual formation book I wrote called The Wild Land Within (my first book with Broadleaf Books) 🎁 ❤️ Just click the book or google search the title to get one, or get a few for a book club. I’m happy to meet up with your book group to say “hello”, answer your questions, and hear your thoughts.

In short, Patron supporters chip-in a bit each month to help offset my ongoing expenses so I can continue creating. $1 to start. That’s it.
Supporting at $5 + entitles you to many posts, perks, and goodies that unlock once you begin. But, you can follow for free and see public posts and monthly Spiritual Challenges.
It is with great appreciation that I create for my patrons as my “inner circle” of financial supporters.
