As 2022 comes to a close, we’ve been looking back over our year of Mosaic posts, and we want to re-share some of them with you. A few of these are among our most-read posts of the year—including the one that got THE most clicks of all—but taken as a whole, they represent the breadth of our authors and their topics. We’ve organized them according to a few topics that may be relevant for you, and we hope that re-visiting these posts (or reading them for the first time!) will continue to invigorate your thinking as you serve and lead in God’s kingdom.

Resting in God

The Attitude of the Heart

Phil McKinney II

I want to share with you how to become more available and aware of God’s presence in your life through his Spirit. It’s like connecting to a network where you need to know the password.
