Recently the Yale Center for Faith and Culture invited me to campus to discuss secularism and the Jesus-Way. I had a chance to share the stage with thoughtful secularists like Tom Krattenmaker (author of The Evangelicals You Don’t Know) and Chris Stedman (author of Faitheist).

In the spirit of neighborliness, on today’s #OffTheHighway episode, Michael Kimpan, the Executive Director of the Marin Foundation, offers a library of ideas and resources for those who care enough to better understand […]
For more musing from Paula, go to http://mysoulrefresh.com. One of my Advent “making room” disciplines has been to carve out some writing time. Yesterday, this is what popped out…thanks for sharing the journey and challenging my own ways of walking with and toward the Savior with you all! 1 December 2104 On a chilly Sunday evening, in a […]
It is 7am. The space I am sitting in is a bourbon bar by night, but in the morning it is the most delightful little bagel shop. My coffee is a medium roast from Oblique Coffee Roasters (a small Portland boutique roastery) and my english muffin is still warm with homemade strawberry jam. I am […]
