Canterbury Cathedral Seeks To Reclaim Its Pilgrimage Legacy
Pilgrims once traveled from across Europe to reach Canterbury. Now, with a post-pandemic hunger for meaning, that legacy may be returning. Torin Brown, the cathedral’s new Pilgrim Officer, is helping reestablish Canterbury as a spiritual waypoint — a place where modern seekers, like those of old, walk with questions and leave changed. At its heart: sanctuary, story and a God who still meets us on the road.
Miracles Happen in the Mundane
Jesus didn’t wait for a grand stage to hand out joy. He stood on a hillside — ordinary, unimpressive — and spoke the words that changed everything. Sometimes we miss the miraculous because we expect fireworks. But Jesus shows up in the slow mornings, the quiet jobs, the hard conversations. Miracles don’t always shout. Sometimes, they whisper right in the middle of our everyday lives.
Some Churches Are Driven By Fear, Others By Love
Some churches teach us to fear — fear the world, fear sin, fear those who are different. But Jesus taught something else entirely. “They will know you by your love.” Real faith means loving our neighbors, not condemning them. Fear breeds fury. Love brings healing. As David French writes, we need churches that act as a balm, not a blowtorch.
How To Calm Anxiety and Find Peace
Anxiety may feel constant, but peace is still possible. Real peace — the kind that holds up under pressure — comes when we fix our eyes on Jesus and lift our hearts in praise. From sunrise to sunset, God invites us to marvel at his goodness, to trust him with our burdens and to let worship become the rhythm that calms our soul and clears our anxious mind.
Sacred Rhythms: Harmonizing Work and Prayer
We’re called to hold work and prayer in healthy tension. Sabbath rest, spiritual practices and space for God aren’t luxuries. They’re the foundation for faithful, fruitful living.
No Beginning, No End
She stands in the timeless now, hands clenched until surrender unfolds her palm. No gift, just an open hand. The Father takes it gently, fingers wrapping hers. Together they step into a space without edges — past and present folded like petals of the same bloom. She offers nothing but herself. He calls it everything. This is not the beginning. This is not the end. This is the beauty of always here.
When Memory Becomes Destination
The scent of almond blossoms stirs memory — of childhood barefoot in orchards, of both beauty and ache. Some moments return willingly, others resist. Yet in each, God’s presence threads through time. Even what we forget, he remembers. Our memories — blessing and burden — become places where the sacred and the familiar meet, calling us home to his love that transcends time, pain and even forgetting.
The Sacred Familiar
I sit by the window, alone but not lost, letting questions roam freely. The roses spill from cracks in the path — beauty too much to behold yet impossible to ignore. I think of the dreams and imaginings that once kept me company and wonder if they were glimpses of truths not yet seen. Even in uncertainty, I’m grounded. Even in fear, I long for what is beautifully familiar and fully his.
Bypass: Learn to Reroute To Avoid Stress
Stress can’t always be avoided, but peace can be pursued. Like a heart surgeon reroutes blood flow around a blockage, we can create pathways around stress.
Small Things & Great Love
In a world obsessed with applause, two men have stayed faithful where few were watching. Maybe that’s what the kingdom of God mostly is: quiet faithfulness for the glory of the One who never forgets.
Why Faith-Based Films Are Dominating
Jesus isn’t just showing up in theaters — he’s topping the charts. With “The Chosen” and “The King of Kings” taking multiple top-ten spots at the box office, faith-based films aren’t just succeeding; they’re resonating. Their rise says something about more than numbers. It speaks to a hunger — not just for truth, but for beauty. Not just theology, but story. And not just Jesus as an idea, but as a person.
Understanding Your Vocation: Hearing God’s Call
We don’t find our calling by chasing titles or tracking success. We find it by paying attention — to our gifts, our burdens and the quiet nudge of the Spirit.
Where True Joy Comes From
We chase joy like it’s something to catch, but maybe it’s something to release. The more we try to fill ourselves up, the emptier we get. The more we give ourselves away, the more God fills in.
‘The Score’ Highlights Bach’s Faith And The Divine Power Of Music
Johann Sebastian Bach’s faith wasn’t background noise — it was the melody. “The Score,” a new West End drama starring Brian Cox, brings Bach’s story to life against the backdrop of war, royalty and belief. As Bach confronts King Frederick II, their clash of values highlights something timeless: music’s power to elevate truth, and one man’s refusal to separate his art from his allegiance to God.
Finding True Delight in the Lord
I used to think delighting in the Lord meant earning his blessings. But striving wore me down. What I learned instead is this: delight doesn’t begin with us — it begins with him.
To Sin Or Not To Sin: Shakespeare’s Vision Of God And Man
Shakespeare doesn’t preach, he probes. In Hamlet, Macbeth and King Lear, divine justice isn’t guaranteed, and grace isn’t always granted. His plays don’t answer theological questions so much as ask them: Are we free or fated? Is there mercy for the worst of us? In staging the tension between sin and salvation, Shakespeare reminds us just how near — and how far — God can sometimes feel.
Created for His Presence
We weren’t created for shallow moments or vague spiritual vibes. We were created to know the Presence of God — not as a concept, but as a person.
Dealing With Grief: Interview With Sister Sarah Hennessey
Grief has many faces, and Sister Sarah Hennessey has seen them all — through funerals, fractured friendships and the quiet ache of transition. In a world that pushes us to grieve alone, she offers a different way: brave grieving in community. “God is the one who stays,” she says. Her vocation isn’t just spiritual direction. It’s walking with others through the sacred work of loss.
‘The Chosen: The Last Supper Part 3’: Finale Achieves Cinematic And Spiritual Greatness
In its Season 5 finale, The Chosen reaches for more than storytelling — it brushes up against religious art. With Roumie’s Jesus agonizing in Gethsemane, the series delivers not just emotion but encounter. The camera doesn’t just observe; it bears witness. You don’t watch these scenes — you feel them. And in the space between performance and Scripture, something sacred settles in. Something that feels a lot like worship.
‘The Chosen: The Last Supper’ Season 5 Premiere Lives Up To The Pre-Easter Hype
“The Chosen: The Last Supper” kicks off its fifth season with confidence, clarity and a whole lot of cinematic power. From Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem to his quiet moments of inner resolve, the premiere balances tension and tenderness with surprising ease. More than just great faith-based TV, this is great TV — crafted by artists who trust both the Gospel and their own creative instincts.
