A Theology of the Ordinary

In this short series, we’ll explore how giving ourselves permission to embrace the ordinary, instead of pressing for the extraordinary, calls us into rhythms of community and allows us to discover God in our midst by bearing witness to each member of the Trinity.

Based on the book A Theology of the Ordinary by Julie Canlis.

The Spirit’s Charge: New Creation
