For the Sake of the Kingdom
April 5, 2023 | Emma Ventresca, BF ‘26
To put it concisely, living a Christian life is difficult. It requires courage, strength, and complete surrender. Sometimes, we fall away from authentic Christian living due to the stifling pressures and anxieties of the world. But when we truly say fiat, “let it be done,” the love of Christ acts as our shield.
The King
March 17, 2023 | Teni Asade TC ‘26
He had stood tall, spine cracked straight with pride, the pressure suffocating him. And yet sometimes that pride—that crushing weight of self-reliance—was the only thing that kept him standing at all.
Room To Grow
March 24, 2022 | By Emma Kate Price H‘25
“Wow, I didn’t know palm trees were that small!” Approaching the palm tree soaking up sun from atop the bedside table, my best friend marveled at the fact that it was approximately a foot and a half tall.
A Contra Dance Parable
March 23, 2021 | By Joe Brownsberger SM ‘21
Jesus said to the crowds: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a great contra dance in an enormous hall. As the guests filed into the hall, the musicians struck up the tune and the caller began calling out the steps of the dance. A few people took to the floor, and seeing them, many others soon joined them.
Good Things

Matthew 6:33 “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
I am more blessed than I dare imagine. I am blessed with a loving family. I am blessed with generous, kind, and understanding friends. I am blessed with a place of privilege at Yale. I am blessed with many good things. It is possible that I am blessed with so many things I could hardly list them here even if I wanted to. And yet, why do I still anxiously scramble from place to place, why do I constantly fret and worry about the future, and why am I often dissatisfied with what I have?
