When we look at the world around us, and even our own lives, we have the sense that all is not right. We are eager to name injustices and to alleviate suffering. And yet, in our polarized society we can have competing stories of what exactly is wrong with the world. How did the world become so broken? The severity of all that is wrong can leave us confused or despairing.

Join us as we explore how Christian Scripture might have resources to name what is wrong, while providing a vision for becoming and being agents for good in God’s world.
