Happening Monday · Free · Live only (not recorded)

If you're anything like me, you've had a wee case of the "email fatigue" - and yet, here I am with another email. BUT This Monday night—January 12—is our first Illuminate gathering of the year. In the Beginning. And it's in just 5 days!

This evening is a complimentary prelude to our upcoming Exodus Living Room series—but you do not need to be registered for Exodus to attend. It’s open to anyone in the Illuminate community.

In the Beginning is a guided check-in to start the year grounded in Genesis 1—who you are, what is good (tov), and where you want your attention to be in 2026. It offers space to reconnect, reflect, and intentionally name what you want to set your sights on as the year begins.

What to Expect

  • Guided teaching and reflection rooted in Genesis 1
  • Space to listen, notice, and name what you want to carry forward
  • Simple worksheets sent a few days in advance (no prep required)
  • Bring a journal and something to write with

This session will not be recorded, creating space for presence and honesty together

February 2026 Reader. In my opinion, there’s no better place for Women's History Month than with the most ancient stories of women, found in Scripture. Take Exodus, for example. Before Moses ever stands before Pharaoh, two women are given a terrible command. Pharaoh orders the Hebrew midwives to destroy the Hebrew baby boys. Instead, Shiphrah and Puah refuse—an act that becomes the first resistance in the Exodus story and the beginning of Israel’s deliverance. This month feels like the...

I remember being on a plane, nearly throwing the book across the aisle because it named things I’d been seeing in myself and my family but never had the language for. Back then, I was full of questions—especially about my type. I originally tested as a...
