No One Is Alone: A Celebration of Stephen Sondheim

We understand something, we humans: woods are never just woods. Sensing the breaths and rustlings inside, we have learned to marvel at and to mind—at times, to fear—the exhale of otherness that meets us when we stand on the sparser side of a wall of trees.

Hutchmoot Podcast & Video: Shaping the World with Stories

The Hutchmoot Podcast features some of our favorite sessions recorded at our annual conference which celebrates art, music, story, and faith in all their many intersections.

New Rabbit Room Store Collection: Black History Month

While we celebrate the diverse witness of God’s people year-round, February offers a special opportunity to listen to and learn from Black authors and musicians—both those who have gone before us and those who are sharing the Good News today.

The Local Show in 2022

The Local Show is returning next month to North Wind Manor! As we prepare to get the new season underway, I want to talk a little bit about why I love being a part of it. In order to do that, however, I need to share some reflections I’ve had this week.

God of the Garden Reading List

Hello, folks! I had good intentions of adding this resource list to the Rabbit Room’s annual “Stuff We Liked in 2021” post, but the document kept growing and I missed the boat. I ended up posting these on social media, but thought it would be helpful to compile them here for your perusal. One of my favorite parts of writing The God of the Garden was the excuse to read a whole bunch of books about place, culture, gardening, community, and the natural world, and to read them through the lens of my belief in Christ, his Kingdom, and the promise of a New Creation. Lest you think I read more than I do, I confess that I read a few of these in 2020, and a couple of others were first read years ago but were referenced in my book. I hope some of these will ignite in you a love for this creation that God so loves.

In This Sign

If I say “pottery show,” chances are good you think of form and color: whimsical mugs on a shelf, maybe, or the elegant curve of a well-made vase. Images of 4^th century monasticism probably don’t spring instantly to mind. I wouldn’t connect the two either, apart from friendship.

Hutchmoot Podcast & Video: The Trees at the Heart of Creation

The Hutchmoot Podcast features some of our favorite sessions recorded at our annual conference which celebrates art, music, story, and faith in all their many intersections. Today, we’re excited to share a session led by Andrew Peterson and Tim Mackie (of the Bible Project) called “The Trees at the Heart of Creation” from 2021’s Hutchmoot: Homebound, in both video and audio form.

There’s Joy in the House of the Lord

A justice centered, theologically rigorous, people-affirming, life-giving, and Spirit-breathed church is possible because God is still in the blessing and miracle-working business.

Creativity, Collaboration, & Community: An Invitation to 2022’s Inklings Conference

At the end of Jonathan Roger’s podcast, The Habit, he always asks his guests, “What writers make you want to write?” I love listening to people’s answers—to find out who has encouraged them or given them a vision for writing. I always smile when people say either C. S. Lewis or J. R. R. Tolkien… because, me, too!

Finding God in the Garden: An Online Conversation with Andrew Peterson

What can our corner of the created world reveal about our creaturely and creative selves and our Designer? What can trees teach us about theology? We invite you to join us on Friday, December 10th for The Trinity Forum’s Online Conversation with Andrew Peterson on what it looks like to encounter God through the glory of creation and how deeper attentiveness to the beauty around us can awaken us to wisdom and wonder.

Re-seeing the Story of Christmas

The season of Christmas is, for so many of us, a crazy-busy, head-spinning, noise-making, exhausting affair.
