Pacifica builds on God's "sure foundation" through The Great Conversation
December 17th, 2023
Isaiah wrote that in the 8th Century, B.C.

We see the prophet reminding us that our belief impacts our actions. Our thinking impacts our living, and vice versa. And there are two starkly different ways to approach life: building on God’s foundation or on man’s.

Thankfulness: A foundation for thinking and living well
November 17th, 2023
Every Thanksgiving, before we gave thanks and broke bread, my father would read to us George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation. As a child, I may have dismissed it with a roll of the eyes, but now, as a father myself, I realize the enduring relevance of Washington's words. As I prepare to read the proclamation to my family this year, I am aware that its invitation into gratitude resonates powerfully with me.
