WELCOME

As people of faith, what does an integrated life look like? That is, how does our faith in Jesus Christ inform each and every aspect of our lives?

Sometimes we may think of our lives as a bunch of pie pieces, with each area getting a certain allotment of our time and attention. The pieces may be work, school, hobbies, family, sleep, and faith. But what if our faith isn’t a piece of a large pie, but it is the plate that holds the entire pie?

In this issue of Compass, you’ll read about how our Christian tradition has always supported the practice of discernment, offering tools to help us make very important day-to-day decisions. You’ll also read about how the new life we receive in the resurrection of Christ breathes meaning and purpose into even the most basic and ordinary parts of our lives.

God cares about every part of all of us. Our robust faith means that we view all of life through the lens of our faith in Jesus Christ.
