Lent is a season to intentionally face suffering, which is part of every human experience. Such intention is necessary because suffering is difficult. And yet, part of being Christian is to follow after Jesus who willingly participated in the shadows, in the decaying, and in the death. With this in mind, this sermon series intends to notice and to celebrate the surprising good—not easy but good—that springs up out of the darkness.This week’s reflection is from Oversight Team member David Khalaf.Pearl Church exists to express a sacred story and to extend a common table that animate life by love. A primary expression of our sacred story is the weekly sermon. If our sermons inspire you to ponder the sacred, to consider the mystery and love of God, and to live bountifully, would you consider supporting our work?

Wilderness Reflections: David Khalaf

Today I am excited to welcome a long time friend to the podcast who also happens to be a creative I respect very much- David Khalaf. David is an author of a fantasy adventure series “The Burdens Adventure Series” as well as “Modern Kinship” which he co-wrote with his husband. He is also a guy who is just like the rest of us who often battles a strong fear of rejection. Yet over the years, his passion for writing has given him the courage to continue to throw his writing out into the abyss and see what sticks. And for him, sometimes it sticks in a column with the New York Times. Other times, the outcome is a dusty untouched manuscript for a novel he may never publish. Today David talks to us about how he protects his time in order to be consistent about his creativity. He doesn’t experience moments of creative breakthrough and inspiration every day, but with daily rhythms in place, he is able to access that place quicker and with ease. It’s a muscle he has developed and he uses it for good!
