Every Day Saints

Everything in life is a Liturgy - and we are formed, for better or for worse, by these liturgies. There is a goal and purpose to life: to become a saint; the foundations and the direction matter. Every Day Saints is spiritual formation along the historic, orthodox foundations of Goodness, Truth, and Beauty.

Every Day Saints is born out of the frustration and isolation and mediocrity of my own life. I spent my life in the church - was catechized intensely, and eventually found myself doing my Masters in Theology. Despite all the books I had read, all the ministry work done, all the prayers and discipleship groups - my life remained a mediocre mess. The space I grew up in didn't answer big questions - it ran from them. I wasn't given a vision for virtue; I was not taught how to Live a Beautiful Life. I was sold a cheap form of gnosticism and was expected to play the part. I needed a new way; or The Old Ways. And so, I committed to the path I had studied for so long. I tore down old structures and rebuilt on the right foundation with the correct framework. And life has never been the same.

This is the pulse of my life - and whether I run this or not, whether it succeeds or not - it will be everything I am committed to. Living and Loving according to Goodness, Truth, and Beauty.

The world is shrouded in the oppression of disenchantment and disillusionment. We are discontent and disenfranchised. Our churches far too often try to remedy this solution with a kind of functional gnosticism - an over spiritualizing at the expense of embodied reality. This has added insult to injury - generations of mediocre Christians desperate for change and revival - but bereft of the way to get there.

There is a way forward - and it's to let the Transcendentals form a foundation for all Embodied formation. In a time when we are bombarded with Truth claims, or appeals to Goodness - the vision of Every Day Saints is to lead through Beauty. To capture the hearts and souls of a generation into the Creator's Heart. Beauty is the Invitation.
