Right Where We Are

Then join Sumer as she creates a space through the short readings of scripture, sometimes a story or two from her own life, where you can just be, held by Love, right where you are. May these ancient words be kind companions along your journey wherever you are.

“God, give us the grace to
embrace the mysteries we
don’t understand,
the cruciform openness
to live a tender surrender,
into Your ways wiser and
kinder than ours,
and the deep shalom of
simply being
with You here,
right here,
with us. ”

Patience obtains all things.
Whoever has God lacks nothing.
God alone suffices.”

Right Where We Are
Hi! I'm Sumer and this is my family: my husband, Jens, my son, Reece and daughter, Delaney. Oh, and our dog, Peyton. Two years ago our family left its church and we've been walking in the wilderness ever since. We've been surprised by the beauty and depth that has greeted us here. I’m not a professional podcaster or phycologist, Bible scholar or theologian. I’m just a person who loves to operate at a slower pace and is deeply committed to walking, albeit imperfectly, in the ways of healing and wholeness while being deeply formed by Love. Maybe we're not alone, maybe you're out here in the wilderness too. Wherever you are, we can be here together, finding our way, all the while being held by Love.
