    Jan 17 2024

    What if?

    If we’re honest, that question can get out of control pretty quickly. We easily spiral into worry and anxiety. In today's episode of Wild Grace, we will hear about worry from the Gospel of Matthew. We will also enter into the passage with an imaginative contemplation exercise. If you have a tendency to worry, this episode is for you.

  • Wild Grace | Trailer
    May 18 2023

    I'm Amber Lea - a pastor, creative, and spiritual director and I have a lot more questions than answers. 

    I know we just met, but will you go on a journey with me? Just a heads up, I don't have a map or a guide, or a daily itinerary. This is more like one of those old choose your own adventure books. It is a journey of wild grace.

    I believe that grace woos us and confronts us and comforts us. It holds our hand, pushes us over the edge, and catches us at the bottom.

    Grace is raw. It is real. It is a mystery. Grace is wild, untamed, and surprising. Grace takes us on a journey to find our most true, authentic selves. It allows us to explore our life and faith in ways that set us free. I'd love it if you went with me. Come on, let's wander together in fields of wild grace.
