The Emergent Grace Movement was created by and for those whose lives have been made vulnerable by suffering. I offer academic tutoring in Spanish, French, and English; neurodivergent life coaching; and Christian spiritual direction to clergy and other helping professionals. I also offer a partnering service to help connect clients and providers.

Who I am: I am a person who cares about health, justice, and flourishing.
How I should act: I seek out opportunities to learn about my health and its relationship to community health, and the role of spirituality, the Bible, and Christian prayer. I try to avoid pathologizing language or stereotypes.
What I believe: I believe every single person is equal, that wealth should be shared, that life and relationships are fragile, and people deserve grace along with accountability.
The Emergent Grace Movement is free, and meant to inspire people with uplifting anecdotes and blog posts, with sustainable frameworks shared in the works of our founder and collaborators.

“If people find health and yet don’t see the need for healing that the whole world experiences, this is certainly not comprehensive healing. For more information on comprehensive healing justice read my latest book Christians for a Free Palestine: A Guide to Ethical Living.”

By, Nils Gollersrud College graduates are commonly told that all the tuition money and time spent to earn a degree will pay off since it will help guarantee a high-paying job. While a college education is certainly an advantage for finding a job, there’s still significant challenges that college-educated job seekers face in today’s job…

By Beatrice Mutual aid is what happens when people refuse to give up on each other. It’s not charity, and it’s not a handout. It’s community care in motion — the belief that if we all bring what we have, everyone gets what they need. Every week, we show up with food, water, tents, wound…
By Usama Nicola, Bethlehem, Palestine Sometimes I think we confuse miracles with magic. Magic dazzles and disappears. It demands nothing of us but wonder. A miracle, though, asks for patience, courage, and participation. In the Gospels, Jesus’ miracles often began not with spectacle, but with a simple act of trust. When he turned water into…

Francis Weller’s In the Absence of the Ordinary: Soul Work for Times of Uncertainty features essays on grief, change, and what he terms “sacred transitions.” One of its opening affirmations is that, in the world of soul, “down is holy ground.” In the spirit of other depth psychologists, Weller calls us to humility, mutuality and…
