In a world marked by conflict, injustice, and constant upheaval, we often search for hope in what we can fix or control. And when that fails, we default to the Via Negativa—naming what we’re against, what we’re not doing, and everything that’s broken. But Scripture reminds us that the ruins are not new—and neither is God’s presence in the midst of them. Join us this fall as we explore the ancient texts of the Minor Prophets and root ourselves in the truth of who God is—not the god of our fear and frustration, but the God who graciously, powerfully, and unexpectedly shows up, even in the rubble.
