Stu G brings the wisdom and incredible music from his Beatitudes Project to help us hear “Lead us not into temptation and deliver us from evil” with new ears. What does it mean to be a holy troublemaker in the world today? How can we know if we are being persecuted for Christ, or persecuted because we are unlike Christ? A robust conversation...with great music.

From her earliest experiences as a new priest to the overwhelming days of Compline to a community practice of Compline last fall, Christine helps us get to the heart of it. She also answers the question “Why should we pray other people’s prayers, rather than just make up our own?” A wise and grace-filled guide.
