We're excited to be sharing a new video series we've produced called "A New Way Forward"! This series is meant to provide individuals and churches with some handles on what it looks like for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people to walk together in a good way.

I had a taste of real winter when I visited Winnipeg a few days ago: when I stepped out of the airport terminal, I was greeted with -17° C. temperatures, not to mention the wind chill.

Community is weird. Sometimes the harder we try to create it, the farther we get from it. Dietrich Bonhoeffer said "the person who loves community destroys community... but the person who loves people creates community."

Instead, Jeremiah's letter told them to buckle down. He said, build houses, plant gardens and build lives for themselves in Babylon.

For some of you, it may feel like you're living in a land of exile. Likely you're not... more
