Study Scripture deeply.
Sit with it contemplatively.
Carry it into your life.
Christ Lives in You is a place for thoughtful Bible study, Christian meditation and the honest questions that emerge when Scripture begins to meet the life we are actually living.
Christian Meditation
Christian meditation invites us to become still in the presence of God and allow Scripture to move from something we understand into something we experience.
There is nothing to force and nothing to perform. We learn to listen, breathe, receive and become aware of what is already true: Christ lives in you.
Bible Study
We study the history. We pay attention to language, literary structure and the ways Jewish and Christian readers have understood these passages.
But we also remain with the questions. We notice what draws us, what disturbs us and what the text reveals about the ways we trust, hide, struggle and hope.
Begin with Genesis
Genesis begins with creation and ends beside a coffin in Egypt. Between those two moments, families form and fracture, people hide, promises are made and human beings keep trying to secure for themselves what God has asked them to receive through trust.
Our first book-by-book study explores the people, language, history and questions within Genesis—without rushing the stories toward easy answers.
A Different Kind of Devotional Space
I have spent years with meditation, counseling, teaching and spiritual practice. The longer I sit with Scripture, the less interested I become in pretending that every difficult passage has one easy explanation.
This work brings careful study and contemplation together. Historical claims should be sourced. Interpretations should be named as interpretations. Personal reflection should remain personal. And after all of that, there should still be room to become quiet and listen.
