  1. The Fireweed After the Fire

    Tim Ruthven describes to the 1983 Alberta Rocky Mountain CFO the Spirit burning off reputation-driven service and buried bitterness, taking his image from the fireweed that comes up first on burnt-over ground.

  2. Breaking the Ice To Baptize Him

    Baptism as something done daily rather than once, and as an act of war rather than a ceremony. Tim Ruthven takes the 1983 Alberta Rocky Mountain CFO through a swimming pool full of Washington dignitaries, and a river in Idaho he had to break the ice on first.

  3. Byron Clough and the Raised Hand

    Speaking to the 1983 Alberta Rocky Mountain CFO, Millard Beede argues that God’s faithfulness to us, rather than ours to him, is what guarantees he will finish what he began. He recalls Byron Clough, a blind evangelist urging a room to put their hands up, and Jesus sitting worn out at the well of Sychar.

  6. Give Me the Cup

    Let the former things go and step into what comes next, read out of Isaiah 43 over the 1983 Alberta Rocky Mountain CFO and then over their children by name. A Jewish official who had kept quiet all evening reaching out and demanding the cup is where Tim Ruthven says he watched it happen.

  7. The Curse of the Immediate

    Millard Beede tells the 1983 Alberta Rocky Mountain CFO about oaks coming back over the Tillamook Burn, and about a doorbell answered with an invitation to Jesus to come in. God’s real work is slow and mostly hidden, he says, and what he calls “the curse of the immediate” keeps people from noticing it.

  8. The Kingdom Has Come Within

    Millard Beede tells the 1983 Alberta Rocky Mountain CFO that the kingdom has already arrived inside those who belong to it, and is still to come in full, and that real confidence in God is what turns that into peace. A night walk under the cottonwoods, and a song leader realizing that Zion means people rather than a place, sit at its center.

  9. The Night He Set the Sun

    Trade academic Christianity for something met at first hand. Tim Ruthven opens the 1983 Alberta Rocky Mountain CFO with a run of his own accounts, including a night on a fishing boat off New Zealand when he says the sun simply held where it was.
