There’s a lot we don’t know about the path ahead. But here’s what I do know. Disciples of Jesus have been here before. matthewjustinhall.substack.com/p/loss-destruc…

What I found in that first semester of college was a whole world of ideas, an intellectual scaffolding that I never knew was available, one that did not seem to flinch at the hard questions or dodge the seeming contradictions and paradoxes. matthewjustinhall.substack.com/p/midweek-musi…

Gratitude in its truest sense is most often infused with a sobriety, a longing, and a realism of loss. matthewjustinhall.substack.com/p/midweek-musi…
