Most of our lives are lived distracted, fatigued, and with a reduced vision of God. We want God to fit our predetermined assumptions or prepackaged desires. But a reduced vision of God leads to a reduced life. My mission is to help others give the Triune God a second look. I want to help others see and experience a living God whose Word is a daily invitation to explore the expansive geography of the Kingdom of God. This is the real world. A world where the wide-open country of salvation is always near. For as the last line of Bernanos’s Dairy of A Country Priest reminds us, “grace is everywhere.” So stay alert, and always keep exploring, for the woke God is inviting us to see the glory of a risen Son, “whose light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.”
