I loved it and looked forward to each day. The messages went beyond the surface and guided me into stillness and meditation.

NOURISH gave me space to explore spiritual disciplines that weren't familiar to me.
EJNOURISH participant
My key takeaway from NOURISH is that justice begins and ends with the Lord’s work and sometimes my biggest action step is actually sabbath.

I am a lifelong learner. Every day is new material and I discovered a key thought in each entry that I want to remember moving forward.
