Another standout song from U2’s most recent “surprise” ep is “Scars.” It kind of begins the more “Easter-y” heart of the collection. Listen to it (and watch the lyric video) and you’ll hear and see why. In other news, I … Continue reading
Catching a Glimpse
U2 has released two eps over the last few weeks, with the first dropping on Ash Wednesday (titled Songs of Ash) and the second on Good Friday (titled Easter Lily). The albums are quite different from one another, with the … Continue reading
Hope in the Midst of Death and Dying
Much has already been said online about Ross Douthat’s recent conversation with for senator Ben Sasse, who was recently diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. And rightly so: the interview is something to sit with. I watched the whole thing … Continue reading

In the Darkness, Waiting (Advent Week One)
Today is the first Sunday of Advent, which marks the beginning of a new year in the church calendar. (Last Sunday was Christ the King Sunday, a recent addition to the church calendar that mostly only liturgical churches celebrate.) As … Continue reading
Waking Up the Dead

Sunday’s Best: What Dreams May Come?
