Wrestling with God is how Jacob comes to experience blessing.

The parables of Jesus teach that the kingdom of heaven is inviting and disturbing.

The parable of the wheat and the weeds is counter intuitive - this farmer is patient, generous and hopeful!

The image of the seed being watered by the rain of heaven is delightful and encouraging.

Desire is a strong and recurrent theme in life and Scripture. Desire for human love, communion with the divine, and to find where we fit.
