Mission in 5
Welcome to Mission in 5 the Podcast, where I ask five simple questions to ministry practitioners to learn more about who they are and where they see God moving in their community. 1.Who are you? (Tell us a little bit about yourself) 2.How did you get here? (To your ministry setting) 3.What is happening at (ministry context)? 4.What is next? (What is next for the guest personally, professionally, or next for the ministry context) 5. How can we partner with you in mission and ministry?

Easter Benediction
In the dark of the early morning,
It descended.
The very breath of God.
Dawn approached.
The Spirit filled the lungs of our fallen king,
And his heart began to beat anew.
At the rising of the sun,
He awoke. He opened his eyes.
He smiled. He rose.
Victorious.
They say the tomb was empty,
But we know otherwise.
Sorrow and mourning. Left behind.
Fear and shame. Left behind.
Sin and death. Left behind.
Our old ways and our old selves. Left behind.
Forever entombed by Christ the Son.
He who has conquered the grave.
He who is risen.
He who reigns.
Halleluiah.
