In this week's episode, Pastor Nate explores the beautiful, often-overlooked spiritual gift of wonder—those moments where imagination and reality overlap to reveal the presence of God. He shares personal stories, insights into how wonder shapes faith, and how practices like Lectio Divina and programs like Godly Play help reconnect us to this essential part of the human and spiritual experience.
Nate reminds us that in a world dominated by logic, order, and technology, we need space for mystery and awe. By reclaiming wonder, we open ourselves to experiencing God more deeply and seeing the sacred in everyday life.

Why wonder is essential for a life of faith
How children’s spirituality teaches us about God
