Interested in deepening your understanding of housing justice? Join our book group to read Grace Can Lead Us Home: A Christian Call to End Homelessness by Kevin Nye. This study is a chance to move beyond feeling overwhelmed by the homelessness crisis and explore a faith-based approach to engaging with it.
The book, written by minister and advocate Kevin Nye, demystifies complex issues like affordable housing, addiction, and mental illness, while re-envisioning our theological response. It offers a powerful message: Jesus, from the margins, has something to teach us all about grace that could change the landscape of homelessness and our response to it.
We’ll meet every other Tuesday 7:30 -9 via Zoom starting 9/23. Register here.
Awake Boston is a two-night event designed to mobilize Christians toward awakening and renewal.
On October 24, 2025 at 6:00 PM Dr. Sean McDowell with lead a Master Class titled “If God, Why Evil”
The problem of evil and suffering is undoubtedly one of the greatest challenges raised against God. Christians must respond empathetically, but also with truth. Sean begins this session by providing a helpful road map for personally helping people who are suffering. He then tackles the intellectual challenge of evil, showing that the existence of evil itself is actually a positive proof for the existence of God, and that the so-called “problem of evil” does not pose a trenchant problem for the Christian faith.
An “Open Mic” Q&A time with Sean will immediately follow his presentation.
Join us online or in person on May 22 from 9:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. for a day filled with inspiration and practical guidance for pastors, lay leaders, and nonprofit leaders. This seminar is for you if you:
