What if calling the parable “the Good Samaritan” risks missing the very point Jesus was trying to make? Jesus invites us into difficult and challenging conversations where transformation can truly happen.

Jesus offers a strange metaphor for worn out and exhausted people: a yoke. But maybe that’s the very key to full and freeing rest.

Spiritual resilience is not what happens to prevent us from breaking. It’s what God does with all our brokenness.

Christ’s love takes us deeper to experience and welcome the presence of God in every person, including ourselves.

As the new year arrives, we might be tempted to “start over.” God’s invitation is far more beautiful and challenging: begin again.
