I Hate Transition. I Love Transition.

Posted by Mark Phifer-Houseman on Oct 10, 2016

  I often wake up these days in a cold state of bewilderment. I lay there for a few minutes under waves of anxiety, imagining scenarios that always end with “and then everyone will know me as that buffoon.”  As I think about my transition out of my role at The River, I...

Do Not Be Anxious About Anything

Posted by Kyle Guerrero on Jul 19, 2016

  I spent the last several days barreling down the highway at 80 miles per hour (yes, that’s the speed limit in the middle of nowhere, Wyoming) and reflecting on the last six months of our lives. My family and I were heading from Leavenworth, Kansas, to our new home in...

Estuaries is a public space for individuals who call The River their home to express and reflect on their own personal stories of God in their lives. We recognize that we are each a work in progress, and that our spiritual journeys are as unique and diverse and that through sharing our stories, we hope to recognize, celebrate, reflect on, and lament the joys and struggles of following Jesus.
