Wheaton planted the seeds and prepared the soil that caused my husband and me to grow up as the Church with the communities of faith that he planted us in over the past 26 years, in Northern California, Washington, England and Grand Rapids. We learned with them how to be rather than go to Church, to live as image-bearers who individually and corporately manifest the divine Presence for the sake of the world that God so loves. Through the years, I found that no matter what else I was involved in, my heart beat faster and truer when I was teaching, preaching, praying, and discipling.
After 12 years of working in corporate and non-profit law, my professional and vocational worlds merged as I started back to school in 1993. Ten years and two continents later, my husband, two sons, and I found ourselves back in the US and part of the Calvin College community, where I taught and did Spiritual Formation for the past five years.
What does it mean
to be women and men together in the image of the Triune God, human image-bearers transformed by the Spirit into the image of the living True Human, Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God, who live to the praise of God's glory in every sphere over which he is Creator and Lord? This question, with all of its complexities and mystery, has been the one I keep asking, and is the one I hear the Lord ask me in the midst of my relationships, joys, and responsibilities, as he calls me to practice resurrection and allow the Kingdom to come present in my life each day as it is in heaven.
I am privileged to be at Wheaton again as a teacher and fellow companion in the Way seeking to live out the radical, cruciform reality of the Gospel.
