Perimeter FiresThe Windles: At the heart of every Bonfire StackAt the center of every Bonfire Stack since the first off campus in 2003 are the "Windle Sticks" or "the Windles", tying into Centerpole and securing the architecture. They are named for Levi Garrett Windle.
Levi was one of the first group of leaders of Bonfire after '99 known as "Grey Pots", lines which would become Red Pots in 2006. He passed away in an accident near his home in Bryan on October 19, 2003, before the Stack he helped envision would even begin. Still, he remains at the heart of every fire since.

Pathfinder Church MessagesWaiting on the World to Change - Selfless Service (Week 4)Pathfinder Church | July 11, 2021 | Dion GarrettHorses were made to run, trees to grow tall, stars to shine, and you to serve others. A preoccupation with self is not simply a moral issue eating away at the fabric of society; it’s a sin against our design. When you put your skills and abilities to use for the good of others, you align yourself with one of your most powerful purposes.Website | https://pathfinderstl.orgOnline Giving | https://pathfinderstl.org/givePodcasts | https://pathfinderstl.org/podcastsFacebook | https://facebook.com/pathfinderstlInstagram | https://ins...

Not only are translations across time tricky, but languages don’t always have equivalent words that easily convey meaning. Then you add translational philosophies into the mix (strict literal translations vs. more interpretative ones) and you end up with a lot of different versions of the same Bible. How do we resist the urge to shop for the translation that says what we like, and instead wrestle with what was actually being said?Website | https://pathfinderstl.orgOnline Giving | http...

Both make belonging dependent on the community’s rules. But God doesn’t make following the rules a basis for our belonging.

This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom. “Let’s not tear it,” they said to one another. “Let’s decide by lot who will get it.” This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled that said, “They divided my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment."
