Tips from Tim Gilmour (Growing Spiritually in Academic Life Series)

November 4, 2018 by Tim Gilmour Leave a Comment

Life in the university promises a chance to think about the big questions in life, to reflect on who we are and what we're learning. But all too often, life as an academic seems so busy as to overwhelm any chance at contemplation; it can be a struggle to figure out even how to have daily time with God. For our fall tips series, we're asking writers to share a brief tip or idea on building your spiritual life in your role as an academic. Last week we kicked off the series with a post by Mary Poplin.

Next Steps for ESN —Scripture

October 1, 2017 by Tom Grosh IV Leave a Comment

Perhaps you remember the first instance when you understood a passage in the Bible with more than your own mind--when the words came to life and became incarnate in your imagination. For me, it was a passage I had heard all my life. I could have quoted it. But in that moment, the words spoke in a way that connected the pieces of my life with Scripture like a puzzle.

The Bible Project — A daily engagement with the word of God

August 18, 2017 by Tom Grosh IV Leave a Comment

In January, I began a daily engagement of the Word/Story of God through The Bible Project. I have found The Bible Project a rich online resource to prayerfully consider and apply "How to Read the Bible" in a number of contexts. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH0Szn1yYNedn4FbBMMtOlGN-BPLQ54IH Drawing from the outline on Bridgetown Church's (Portland, OR) website, ESN has provided daily reflections via  ESN Facebook and ESN Twitter. … [Read more...] about The Bible Project — A daily engagement with the word of God
