Part of the focus in our “Doubt, Deconstruction & Redemption” Series this year has been to make space for faithful Christians to ask hard questions that deserve to be asked and thoughtfully answered. Two big types of questions both Christians and non-Christians...

This reflection is part of our 2022 “Doubt, Deconstruction & Redemption” Series. You can read my original piece laying out why it is fitting for Coracle to pick up this conversation at this moment HERE. If you are on a deconstruction journey or caring for...

I experienced the passage of time through a wide variety of tempos these last six months. March was Allegretto – “moderately fast”. April through June was Adagio – “slowly with great expression”. July through August was Andante – at a walking pace. And now we’re...

This was a uniquely meaningful spiritual practice to undertake, and if you ever feel the desire to take a stab at your own spiritual autobiography, I collected some thoughts on different guidelines and postures that might help you get started. You can find...

Many of you have probably seen this widely-circulated Coronavirus meme: It’s funny because it’s true, almost painfully so. Over the past few weeks, every single pilgrimage that Coracle had planned for this year has been canceled, postponed or called seriously into...

God has been blazing this trail for us long before we arrived in Guatemala for the first time in October of 2019. Our team of 12 people tread further onto a path already well-marked by God’s provision of friendships, connections, shared heart and vision, and...

Bill and I would like to invite you all to come with us and Coracle to Bethlehem in Palestine for the Christ at the Checkpoint Conference, held June 5-9 this year. This conference is offered every other year by a broad coalition of evangelical Palestinian Christians...

There are well-known slogans like “Explore More” or “Never Stop Exploring” with mass marketing appeal that reflect a well-documented trend towards exploration and travel as a modern-day virtue in American culture. More and more, people are leaving behind the comfort...

On October 20th, 2019, Coracle sent a team of 12 people on a 10-day pilgrimage, to “take a journey with God, to meet God, together.” We traveled south to Guatemala for several days, then north via Mexico to the border cities of El Paso, TX and Ciudad Juarez, Mexico....

In October, Coracle is going to Guatemala and then on to the border between Texas and Mexico in El Paso and Juarez. On one level, this trip has been years in the making, on another level it is timely, if not a bit late. But it is the Holy Spirit’s time, of that I am...

I have been in many countries now. Eighty? Ninety? I’ve lost count. And some more than once, and some of those quite a few more times than once. I say that not to boast in any way. There are far more places that I haven’t been than I have, and many others have been in...

Recently I had the opportunity to reflect on comparative world religions, Jesus, and my first trip around the world. I sought to answer the nagging question, “If I had grown up in, say, Iran, would I be a Muslim?” Confident that Jesus is true, the...
