By: Todd Deatherage As 2016 moves to its end, many wish it had all been just an unpleasant dream. Our experiences this year, as in most, teach us that things are not right in the world, not as they should be. An ugly American election season has exposed deep fault...

Dear Friends and Fellow Pilgrims, I’m not good at cutting to the chase. I’m not good at being brief. I use words (and, sometimes, as you will see in my PS at the end, YouTube videos!) to help folks to see what I see, know what I know, celebrate the breadth that I...

REGARDLESS of the outcome of the election, I expected this to be a day of mentally disciplining myself to focus on King Jesus, joyfully focusing on the Kingdom of God that is here, near, and coming, celebrating that the Christian’s (and my) primary citizenship...

People are hungry to go deeper in God, hungry to know Jesus, grow in Jesus, and be the presence of Jesus in a hurting world. That’s what we’re encountering all the time through Coracle. There’s more desire than we can keep up with. Thankfully, God keeps bringing...

By: Giovanna Meek (Corhaven Intern – Summer 2016) It’s not uncommon that a caring Christian, especially one with an evangelical heart, might ask someone “do you know Jesus?” And, if a Christian is responding, she might begin with “well, yes…” and continue by...

Coracle recently made its first foray into Coracle: Culture, and a group of us gathered to watch the much-talked-about film, Birth of a Nation. The film has drawn less attention for its content and Sundance Festival accolades than for the director and star Nate...

The imagery can be as gentle as “a feather on the breath of God” (Hildegard) or as shocking as “immolate me” (Margaret Mary Alacoque), but the essence is the same. This is where the Christian life will ultimately lead if we want it and are willing to go there. This...

One of the questions I’ve been considering lately is, what does it mean to live in the kingdom of God? As I’ve talked with God about this, he continues to lead me back to the image of the garden. From the beginning of the Bible to the very end, the garden...

I’m really excited by the retreats we’re offering this fall. Something feels different about them. Deeper. More out there. Sober. Good. Deeply good. Even important. A bit more risky. And not for all, but still for many. First, If you’re anything like I am,...

Dear friends, The summer of 2016 is coming to an end. In one way I’m glad, as it was a very HOT summer. By HOT I mean more than just the temperature. The Middle East wars, the US killings between police and suspects, the lone wolf terrorism killings in the U.S.,...

Today while we celebrate our Independence Day in the US, we remember also those who don’t enjoy the same freedoms as we do. We remember states where corruption, violence and injustice is rampant and inhabitants are ruled by fear. We especially are in mourning...
