We often think of religion as confined to certain texts or spaces. But our faith can be so much more — from guiding our lives’ purpose to enriching the seeming minutiae of our daily routines.
Christianity offers timeless practices that help both Christians — and the world — to flourish. Practices that—woven together, form an entire way of life.
Today we begin a short, three-week series in which we will explore just three of these practices, helping us to see that it’s possible to create a way of life that’s both attuned to present-day needs and taught by ancient wisdom.
I chose three practices that I thought particularly speak to life as we move into the busy holiday season—a season that is filled with joys and struggles that are both unique to this time of year, and present all the year through.
Today, we begin with the practice of saying “yes,” and saying “no.”

For the past few weeks, we have been taking a look at some occasions in scripture when people of faith had “holy meltdowns”—when pillars of our faith like Moses, Jonah, and Elijah had big emotions.
Because right now, there seems to be a lot of big emotions in the world. Many—if not most—of us are struggling with something: grief, sadness or depression, anxiety, anger… because life seems to be particularly “lifey” right now, and then add to that a news cycle, and media that seem to play on our emotions, and it’s a perfect storm to create holy meltdowns here and now.
Traditionally, though, the church tells us that "good" or "faithful" Christians don't let their emotions get the best of them. But the truth is, there are times in everyone's lives when they have "big emotions." In this series, we’re looking at these “holy meltdowns” to see how God worked in or through them, and think about how God works through us, too, in similar situations.
Today, we look at Peter and the infamous story of his regret.
