"Practice Resurrection"

That's how Wendell Berry ends his poem, "Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front," and it's how I begin here.

Practicing resurrection...

• in churches striving to reinvigorate and revitalize
• in congregations coping with change and loss
• in our lives when we've gotten stuck
• in my own mind and body

The work that excites me the most is this collaborative, soul-investing work of practicing resurrection - work that finds us deepening our stories, seeing new possibility, and taking bold risks with hope for the future.  It's the work I love to engage with leaders and communities of faith, and, ultimately, it's the work I engage each day as I strive to live hopefully and abundantly.  
​
Perhaps you belong to a community of faith that's looking to do something different - sing a new song, take a new risk, try a new path.  Maybe you lead a congregation like that.  If that's the case, I hope this tiny corner of the virtual world is helpful.  And if it is, perhaps our real worlds can connect further and in more meaningful ways.  I enjoy engaging leaders and congregations as a presenter and consultant, and I look forward to exploring ways we might connect around the work you do.

With Awe and Belonging,
Ben
