“A life of faith is a life of unlearning our certainty… Life with Jesus is learning to see as Jesus sees.
And here's the thing: On the Jesus Way, sight precedes salvation … And seeing, we enter into the kingdom, stunned to realize it is already in our midst.”

A hand with pink-painted nails holds up a copy of the book The Conspiracists: Women, Extremism, and the Lure of Belonging by Noelle Cook. The book’s cover features a stylized illustration of a blonde woman’s face wearing a Statue of Liberty crown. The words “Advance Reading Copy · Not for Sale” appear on the top banner. In the background, the dome and steps of the U.S. Capitol building are visible under a partly cloudy sky.
