“Humanity was made through the outpouring of love within God. One doesn’t create out of the outpouring of love something bad or unbeautiful.” - Bridget Black
If human beings are made in the image of God, then how can we understand humans as instrinsically bad? Instead, from the beginning, God creates and calls humanity good. In this transformative conversation, spiritual director and theologian Bridget Black dives into what it means to be a human being made in God's image, what it means to bear that image in the world, and how we can experience God and the beauty of God more fully in this world.

Jeff Fulmer’s new novel, American Prophet.
American Prophet takes a fresh look at some of the problems facing America today, such as gun violence, race relations, and climate change. “These are moral isssues that will keep plaguing us until we deal them as a society,” author, Jeff Fulmer said. “People of faith, especially Christians, could be a leading light. Unfortunately, many are silent, or even work against positive change. Fulmer recognizes that not all Christians will agree with the message in the book. “A prophet is supposed to challenge people. That’s the job.”
American Prophet is on sale on Amazon, Audible, and Apple Books. Just look for American Prophet by Jeff Fulmer. There is more information about the author and the books at www.jefffulmer.com.
